i am happy to be from this modern age. we get the blessings of all of the music there is. we can go back in time and we can stay in the time. it is beautiful.
Obviously, the ancients knew to dig trenches and-or make composting toilets... I am sure there have always been communities who gave hygiene great importance... whereas today people are hypnotized to participate in a filthy lifestyle, wiping their asses with the forests... very strange.
uhm, may i remind you that early celtic tribes also used 2 bring human sacrifice? and then i dont mean the enemy, but their own. indeed back then men were killed and women raped and burned, but not by other tribes, but by the cancer that calls itself christianity.
God, sometimes I wish that I could be back in ancient times, away from all the problems and complications of the modern world, when people succeeded or failed on their own hard work and merit alone. When people worried about the next harvest, or keeping the fire high, instead of money and politics, and instead of the internet and the Omnipresent media, the people looked forward to the nights spent in merry company with a story or song to sing, and a cup of mead in their hand.
@AxiTheReal Yeah, but instead of the media and politics to worry about, they had rampant disease and armies of religious zealots burning and converting everything in their wake.
@AxiTheReal Sometimes I wish that as well. Then I think on how women were treated, and how I would most likely be burned at the stake- if not for my sharp tongue then for my religion-, and how I would either be married off at a young age to a man I don't love, or be raped during a raid and never be suitable for marriage. Those times had beautiful landscape, and I just wish that more of that landscape and architecture had survived.
@AthenesicMoon It depends on what period you talk about. Celtic tribes usually treated their women very well. A good exemple is the Queen Bouddica of britain, who led revolts against romans in 1st century CE. Women had also a good social position in Ancient egypt, compared to greek and roman civilisations.
@AthenesicMoon Actually, in many Germanic and Helvetic tribes, women were regarded with a certain prescience. According to a quote from a history program, "The women have a certain sanctity. The men do not despise their councils, nor do they make light of their answers." This can be partially attributed to the existence of wise women, or priestesses, which were like doctors and priests combined. At least, this was true in some tribes, and I wouldn't have wanted to live in others.
@AthenesicMoon It was mainly in Christian and Roman societies in which women were taken advantage of, confined to certain roles, and married against their will. Helvetic and Germanic society was largely much different from this. The Romans were surprised to find that, when they invaded a Ceutrones settlement, the women picked up weapons and began defending their homes along with the men. :)
@rzr666nl May I say, its always a joy, and a comfort, to hear others wish for beauty lost, to care... its gives you hope, that the world and its people aren't too far gone, too dead yet. Some still love the land :)
@Ren95 i wish we, and all the guys in the comments who also wish a beautifull life, living the Eluveitie spirit, the human spirit, the way we humans were meant to live, could have a beautifull little piece of forest, away from everything. so we could live our lives like we truly want. away from the big government surveiling us and enslaving us if you know what i mean, i wish it wasn't that impossible. the world was made for us for FREE, yet they claimed it all to destroy it and sell back.
@rzr666nl *nods to sadly* The world is our own blood and bone, as it everything elses, too. It is not owned, no matter what the selfish and the unfeeling say - earth and air and life cannot be owned by few, by those that greedily insist so. We are part of all, and all is part of us. I feel sick when I look around and see how the world has gone. People... it's almost like they have hacked their own limbs away, but they never notice a thing :(
@rzr666nl Thankyou :) x So are you - take care of yourself, we've gotta keep a few of us folks around XD x Its been a joy to talk to you, its feels so good when you find little signs that not all the world has gone the same way :)
@AxiTheReal I have that all of the time, especially when I am at school. id love to go back to the days when there was honor. Cant stand all of these fake kids trying to act tough and cool. I would duel them, chop off there heads, put em on a spike and have a horn of mead with the mates by the fire with a bard singing and playing for me. The only thing I would miss would be such fine bands as Euleveitie \m/
@AxiTheReal ya, and when you get sick you're dead. Today's life is the better one. But as VV says, way to good, let's go to a time where we could kill our foes, where we could hunt as we wanted and marry as woman as needed =D
@AxiTheReal Yeah they do, think well, in that time (since your speaking of Galia, not Rome) People had to shit on the streets, so hygiene wasn't very developed also, and if you step on shit all day, your gonna get sick, but whatever, it sounds awesome to live in that time an do a lot of things we can't today...
@AxiTheReal i know how u feel sometimes i want to escape the probloms of "midterms or finals" politics and my girlfriend even sometimes i want to just live in the ancient times
@LamentationsEnd They didn't need metal, because they fought with swords and spears, they hunted their meat from the dark forest with their bow, they stole their wife in a bloody night, they had sex under a full moon beside of wolves howling...we fight with words, buy our meat from supermarket, find our wife on internet, and have sex in toilet...we are a most miserable human race that earth have seen so far!
@newmoonmaheno Fighting with words is a lot better than fighting with swords, it shows our resistance against carnality and our embrace of a semblance of enlightenment. What's good about stealing a wife? That shows sexism and carnality. We buy our food because there is no longer a need to hunt, and I don't know about you, but people have sex on beds. We are miserable, I'll grant you that, but not for the reasons you have listed.
@LamentationsEnd :) next time remember take your suit off from your brain and listen to folk metal..yes that tie its not around your neck! it's around your brain ....
@LamentationsEnd I have to say, I agree with some of your points but not all. For example, enlightenment is not realised though idleness but through action, and combat is a release of the soul from the constraints of life. Your weapon, or body, guide you and the rest of your being goes un-noticed. That is what it means to be truly free and enlightened. That could be a far better substitute to the justice system, as it is more honourable. And the loss of our need to hunt is undeniable, (cont.)
@LamentationsEnd as it has ruined the survival of the fittest and one of the biggest rushes a person can experience. If people hunted for their food instead of relying on money the world would be an infinitely better place and our beautiful landscape won't need to be destroyed for selfish human greed.
@AxiTheReal hmm I woulnt be too sure about that, there was much more presence of war and persecution, the gauls for example had to worry about defending themselves from the romans, and they didnt exactly succeed in that...
@GGxBeast I think it was a subset of Gaelic actually. Or maybe Gaelic is a subset of Gaulish... I'm not entirely sure. I don't even think I used the word subset in the right context >,< Ignore me.
this song's got awesome drummwork!!! :D love it <3
guess still after the new album my favourite eluveitie song!
