Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is a clip from Raised by Giants. You can

Speaker 2 (00:11):
That's a total inversion of what happened. Like the Celtic
religion that was like that, they celebrated the end to
mark the end of harvest in the beginning of the
dark half of the year, which is fall, which then
you get into what is fall. The fall is fall
of man. Right, and the Celtics believe that the veil

(00:33):
between the living and the dead was thinnest on October
thirty first, right, and spirits and ancestors could cross over,
and people with light bonfires and war disguises, which then
gets into your whole candle lighting thing as well, because
the lighting of a candle is actually to ward off
hornful spirits. Yes, then offer they would just you know,

(00:55):
give offerings to the dead, you know, I mean, that's
the real foundation of Halloween. And when Christianity spread through
the Celtic regions at the beginning of like I think
it's like the eighth century, like around seven oh one AD,
the Church didn't get rid of the holiday. They just
completely rebranded it, right, they rebranded the entire holiday. They

(01:20):
called it All Saints Day, which was November first, and
then the day before that was All Hollows Day, so
the All Hollows Eve, which then became Halloween, right just
like the Church did to Christmas, which was a traditionally
a pagan Celtic holiday. They then converted it, renamed it,

(01:42):
and rebranded it. But really quickly before I let you
go on that, Gnarley Sheen is in the chat here,
and he's actually the one that sent me this robe
that I'm currently wearing.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
A druid.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
That's why I'm wearing it. Brow Heltic. Let me light
my candle borrow ward off in evil spirits. But he's
the one that sent me this robe for me to
wear at contact in the desert. He sent me this
last year.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
And why didn't I get a robe Narlely send. It's
a lot more fabric than me. He's much taller than
I am. It's more expensive.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
I think it was pretty expensive for this. This is
like an xx L large robe. Dude. It's a huge
robe because I'm super tall. But he wore it so
I could be Ashtar Galactic Command from the half dimension
of Nickelback.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Three quarters the Emerald Alliance.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yes, because I would exactly like Ashtar, Lord Ashtar, because
everyone knows what Lord Ashtar looks like. There would be like,
oh my God, is that Lord Ashtar?

Speaker 1 (02:45):
And then I would You've got a facial structure you
could you could do like a like you need some
like blue paint. I've seen Ashtar command people wearing blue paints.
Put some like blue war paint above your eyebrows, and
maybe like an arrow like Avatar at Avatar the Last Airbender.
I'm sorry, something like that. I think you'd look really
good in that. You could. You could definitely uh take

(03:08):
some people's money.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, I was charging three hundred dollars for a good
old healing.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Session three thirty three thirty three.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Three three three baby, But yeah, thank you, Narla Sheen.
Appreciate your brother. Good to see you. And yeah, he
actually sent me this from listening to one of the
shows that we did together on your channel. And then
he hit me up, I'm going to see you a robe, bro,
do it. I'll wear it. I'll wear it to Contact.
But I didn't end up getting to make it to
Contact this year.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Only next year, even if they won't give me a ticket,
we're going I'm going to fly in and we're just
going to crash it. Not in a bad way for
the record, just we're gonna I'm gonna be there.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
I've just been I don't really want to talk about it.
It's just it's just turned into something that I don't
think that it was ever meant to be, which is
the entire scope of ufology. It's just it's like, hey,
I know, like that's all people talk about. But anyway,
what did you think about those statements that I made
about the Celtic religion and it being a Celtic holiday.

(04:13):
Was that pretty close to what you have researched.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Yeah, it's quite accurate. I mean obviously people would you know,
someone who might know a little bit more so would say, well,
it's not exactly what it's all about, and yeah, you're right,
But writers pretty much on point as they say, that's
pretty accurate. I can't really, I can't really tell you.
I don't think anybody can really tell you for sure

(04:38):
where everything came from. But we have some pretty good ideas,
and our modern American Halloween largely came from the Irish
the mid eighteen hundred's largely, but by the time that
the Irish came here. Most of the traditions that they
had English too, but most of the traditions the Irish had,
or Scots, but mostly Irish, were already hundreds of years

(05:04):
I want to say devolved, but I don't think that's
the right word. We could actually just say evolved. They
were evolved, maybe devolved from their original purpose, but evolved
into more modern versions. They'd already evolved. That was the point,
because the Celtic peoples go back to I think the
only the only really old archaeological site on record is

(05:27):
about seven hundred BC. I think that's the official one.
Seven hundred BC the official number, but the Celtic culture
goes back about fifteen hundred BC. Some argue it goes
back to three thousand BC. Either way, it is hundreds
and it is thousands, ultimately of years older than Christianity.

(05:53):
And most of the ideas that the Celtic peoples and
the Druids in particular had in many of their rituals
and symbols are universal. They're universal in every culture because
they all come from the natural world around us. I mean,
if you were to look in the Scandinavian countries, for example,

(06:13):
you have frost giants, you don't have those. If you
looked at like the American Southwest native tribes, they don't
have frost giants because they live in deserts. Other than
things like that, pretty much the same idea. As a
matter of fact, you find swastikas or swastikas or Asia.
They call it the mangi in China, but you find

(06:35):
that actually in northern Europe, and you find that also
in the American Southwest because if they call that the
whirling log, I think that's Navajo. But most native tribes
have the same symbol. Medicine men use it. It's a
healing symbol. All of it represents the actual physical sun,
because the sun turns and moves in the sky. I

(06:57):
think in Germany they call it sonan raw German for
the sun wheel, and that's basically a swastika that's more
so turned into a circle, or it's like a circle
with a cross, and then the kind of erase a
little bit of the line so it looks like it's turning,
which is why you would see if you look at
Egyptian iconography, for example, there's two different examples of this

(07:19):
of the sun moving. You either have the sun with
little feet and there's a serpent, which is you could
say creation, or there's a serpent, which you could say
is it's the darkness that eats the sun every night
and then during an eclipse too, So there's usually a
serpent around the sun, and the serpent has little feet
and so basically what's happening is it's walking. And this

(07:41):
is a pretty universal image too. You see this in Africa,
you see this in the Americas. As a matter of fact,
I think in the Mississippi Valley there's maybe descriptions or
myths that are similar to this. The Mississippi Valley region
actually has very similar and so does Central and South America.
Very similar underworld imagery to Africa. On top of that,

(08:03):
and mythology on top of that. That's a whole other show,
pretty fascinating. But the point is the serpent walks or
the sun walks. The other image is the most famous,
probably which we've talked about with heuthology before. It's the
solar disk with wings and the sun flies or the
sun walks or runs or turns. It's all describing the

(08:27):
same thing. I think it's probably overstating the obvious to
give additional examples, but it's all talking about the same thing. However,
it's important to understand that there's a blending of different ideas.
So it's not just the sun, which I think some
people who want to discredit religion, intentionally or unintentionally will

(08:49):
rely heavily on the argument that it's just solar worship,
and it is to an extent, but it's also vegetation worship.
It's also sex worship, so phallic or yoni worship. And
for people that are very religious, I mean sixty percent
we can estimate of your audience is probably Christian. That's

(09:11):
about the average in the United States. Just look at
the cathedrals even just look at standard churches some of them,
but older churches. But you know, cathedrals all over Europe
have all this imagery you could pull. It's I don't
think it would be an appropriate on YouTube, but there's
certain symbols on churches you could look up in Europe

(09:34):
that are extremely explicit, like it's a woman just holding
her vagina open, and those are on churches. The church itself,
the Gothic cathedral is built like a womb. I mean,
if you look at Notre Dame, which means our Lady.
I know people will say, but that's Catholicism, that's different
than regular Christians.
