thank you for the bit of history and amazing playing, next video you make should just be you and a normal 6 string electric guitar, that would be awsome! great video
Pagans lol, 14 year olds who love the idea of raping women and stealing things :) thats civilization :O :). Great music though and the history is spot on, no cracks in it :)
This video commemorates St Patrick, the re-Christianizer of Eirie. The very own Celtic Cross, is a forerunner of the Holy Cross, of which , many Druid priests recognized as the True Son of the Most High GOD. Hence, faith lead to The Faith! It is NOT the Church that brought destruction, but, the Irish bowing to the Latin's and their Roman Catholic church. When Erie was Celtic Orthodox, in communion with all, East and West, even before the split of the Romans from the One Holy Apostolic Church.
The music starts @ 3:41, and its a beautiful piece. That being said,
St. Patrick brought about the hell and fury of the Catholic church, and began the rape of our proud people that still continues today under the watchful eyes of the Church and England. Fuck st Patrick and his loyal hordes. we pagans will once more take these lands, and soon crosses shall lie in ashes, their churches turned to dust.
@ferocity016 O.k no worries kid, why dont you go back to your burzum nonsense and leave normal people with no hatred at peace. If you actually are dumb enough to put a value on the myth of the brittish islands then you clearly need to grow a brain. I am a proud Scottish Catholic and i have a love of the irish people and history and i'm fairly sure i know more than you about your own history so why dont you just leave this debate before you embarrass yourself child.
How many dead in Ireland since your St. Patrick decided to convert a nation?
What language do you know speak since this time.
Your true traditions have been decimated.
Fuck St. Patrick and Fuck Cromwell.
Do you know what servents used to do for those they called Lord... commit suicide when their Lord died. Ireland has a rich history dating back for thousands of years....
It wasn't until Rome moved in that your children began to be molested.
Well, thanks for sharing your feelings. Those who fell to the whims of evil were most likely victims of the insanity and tricks of the enemies of Rome and St. Patrick, so, you think about it.
How did St. Patrick ruin my country? all he did was convert us to Christianity and the Druids tested him to see if he was sincere or not and guess what? he passed the test, you really wanna know what ruined my country? An rí Laighean Diarmaid Mac Murchadha it was because of his lust for power that my country got invaded & enslaved by the english, our good for nothing government, the orangemen and unpatriotic fucks that would rather let our culture die that's what ruined Éireann
@00Narayana00 I could point all the blame towards the church but I can't get me wrong we should of gotten all the pedo priests and had a bonfire on Bealtaine and fucked them in it but both economically, socially and culturally the government deserves the most credit there along with the fact that Americanism has taken over and the fact that people let their words speak far louder than their actions we've become and country that is all talk no action sad really
@RoadWarriorCainann im not sure, just asking, but who says this. maybe the catholics themselves : which is usually the case. they go in burn the books, destroy the existing culture and then rewrite history. 100 years later none are the wiser. they throw around names like cannibal devil worshiper etc to the point where it seems that every culture they ever "liberated" was fornicating while cannibalzing and preying to lord satan.....seems too convenient for me
I have been listening to this song at least 2 times a month for the past year and a half...I 1st heard it in Sweden (I am Canadian).. I moved back to Canada and put it on my mp3 player...amazing song..pumps me up and I'm not even Irish:) I'm a Dutch-Canadian...what a combo, I wear wooden shoes and I'm a lumberjack.. Cheers John, thanks for the amazing song.
Sorry, but that simply isn't the truth. Ireland was one of very few places on the planet in which Christianity was introduced without bloodshed. "How the Irish Saved Civilization" is an excellent source on this.
The aboriginals in Canada were also allowed to keep their beliefs and traditions after a lengthy fight, but it still didn't cover up the fact that we stole their lands.
dude, there's almost more celtic paganism in local irish catholicism.. i know.. i went to church every wednesday and sunday with my family while i was there. so shut the fuck up dude, why are you watching this if you think it's stupid.
So we celebrate a murderous tyrant every year by drinking green beer? Well then, cheers to a genocidal maniac. I will drink to the poor souls who didn't want a religious take-over and then got killed for it!
Well, not quite...there were Druids in Patrick's retinue. There were Druids before he arrived and Druids long after he left. I think his attempt was to love people into faith in Christ. Not to threaten or destroy.
You have always been a favorite of mine...and this particular piece blows me away, as all of yours do. Thank you for "taking me somewhere"....special.
Ok i see i can't do the writer sorry about my comment by the way but I was thinks was ok but it was wrong just a thanks to this man have done good job !!!
very nice, you can picture ol Patty marching over the country side, those monks in the background chorus sound very sinister, like its both good and bad at the same time.
I hear a conflict between the druidic fae populated emerald isle and its pastoral innocence contrasting the encroaching monotheism, and all that it brings.
I will say that this stuff is most excellent, as is all of your playing. This melody is quite amazing, but imo the music sounds much more pagan than christian.
amaizing the music so really nice dont know why the iCeltic music give me a really pleasure ;D dont do you start joke ;D !!!!!! be attent I will anyway really from the heaven maybe him is an Angel ;D !!! and me I smoked so green flooks
If you mean you don't get my 'guitharp' comment, I just mean that because his instrument is half guitar and half harp, you could blend the two words and call it a guitharp.
amaizing the music so really nice dont know why the iCeltic music give me a really pleasure ;D dont do you start joke ;D !!!!!! be attent I will anyway really from the heaven maybe him is an Angel ;D !!! and me I smoked so green flooks
the grammar or whatever is so messed up :p well i don't think i should really say grammar because its entirely messed up thus: i don't get it :p
So that's the trick they use: send a missionary to convert the people to Christianity, while at the same time scouting the lands on a recon mission. Then send in the troops.
Well the British somewhat succeeded on that with Hong Kong. But they got greedy with the opium trade, the Chinese realized and woke up, oppose it, and the Brits curtailed and ran, promising to give back the taken land in the year 1997.
Thank you for the story so eloquently verbalized, beautifully imaged and especially, felt, through the music which carried me on a journey through history.

In "The Life", Patrick is told of coming to Wales as a bishop and vowing to serve God at Glyn Rhosyn (now St. David's). But, he was warned in a dream that the place was reserved for someone who would arrive thirty years later. He was then shown Ireland in the distance by an angel as he stood on a rock called "the seat of St. Patrick." Patrick's mission was to evangelize the distant land, a task that he carried out in a remarkably short period
Though Patrick's birthplace is debatable, most scholars seem to agree that he was born in the area of southeastern Scotland known as Strathclyde, a former Celtic kingdom and Welsh-speaking at the time. (However, a few scholars continue to regard St. David's in Pembrokeshire as the saint's birthplace; the tiny city was formerly directly in the path of missionary and trade routes to Ireland).
It's such a joy and inspiration to watch and listen in order to captivate the melodic tones and phrases,to this wonderful instrument the Harp Guitar.The passion the ever flowing movement of sound enveloping and captivating the spirit of celtic music,well played and constructed and a creative enrichment to the celtic world of music,that touches my heart.All the very best to you John and keep up the writing and passion of the love of that wonderful instrument.Martin The Celturian.
I am a huge fan of your work, and of harp guitars in general. I'm a friend (and unofficial student) of Andy Wahlberg, and after I come back from my deployment to Iraq, hopefully the owner of a 26-string harp guitar (7 sub-base, 13 chromatic super-treble). Keep true to the music, and hopefully I'll see you at a future gathering.

And many of his feats are lies...

Because the raping of a countries children has turned back to the True Fire of the Tribes.
Julius Ceaser was known as Christ too...
