The Selkie - Damh the Bard

[TheJedgeworth]

My mom turned me on Selkies many years ago. Creatures of the drowned forest...

[mandofidgit]

This is an absolutely beautiful,magical,thought-prov­oking song; my favourite DtB song so far.

[9496tull]

awesome

[TheManAloneChannel]

One of my favorite songs to sing and play on my mandolin. Such a magical and soothing.

[AugustMeteors]

What a beautiful, yearning song. "I have always lived here."

[dellsmore]

My favourite. Reminds me of sea fishing and seeing a seal bob up in the water taking a look at me.

[BrokenxRosesx]

I love this song. First time I ever heard this was just after I'd had a massive argument with my parents - about being a pagan, ironically - and it just totally calmed me down. I just love it.

[SavC1985]

love this song, love Damhs music thumbs up all the way, saw him in the Pagan faery fayre in Kent Last year amazing : bless be all

[katyrosehotker]

My mum first read the story of The Selkie to me when I was about seven years old. It has stayed in my loving memory ever since. Damh is so incredibly gifted and passionate. Bless you Damh. You are truly a Bard in all senses of the word.

[sorrowsingsoftly]

I wish I could find a selkie.

[BlackSheWolf89]

the pictures really fit perfectly to the song, just really capable

thanks for the upload : )

[Blacksky1243]

Apparently I'm descended from selkies, I only kinda believe it. :)

[KDPhilosophy]

@Blacksky1243 I'm in a similar situation, from leprechauns. :)

[melkor6666666]

I am a selkie

[laslohun]

great

[god0fmusic]

i just found out what selkies are and i liked the idea so much that i wrote a poem making reference to them

[ByronsApprentice]

It is nice to see another poet walking the earth. Like you I was fortunate to learn about the Selkie. I would be interested to see your poem.

[schizoidboy]

I hear that there are people who live in a certain region of Ireland who claim to be decendents of the Selkies.

[wickedrocketelvispel]

@schizoidboy Roan Inish?

[schizoidboy]

@wickedrocketelvispel Yes that movie did have something in it about the legend but there was another documentary I saw about faerie lore and one of the speakers had his granddaughter with him who claimed that she was descended from the Selkies (by marriage I suppose;) ) but it is a part of lore.

[AndreiTupolev]

Truly Beautiful - Mermaids are fascinating mythical creatures - The Selkie is equally so - A Seal that metamorphisises into a Human.

[BardofVoice]

I love Damh's Music!!!

[courtney2497]

i believe in selkies

[jin54363]

@courtney2497

what is a selkie?

[bartyfarslar]

@jin54363 a selkie is a Celtic being that is usually in the form of a seal, but can come ashore in the form of a young woman. There are stories of them marrying mortal men, etc.

[jin54363]

@bartyfarslar

then a selkie is like a mermaid isnt it?

[Smishonak]

@courtney2497

I'm sorry,, I gave you thumbs down by accident :((( Stupid mouse surface.

So instead of whatever number it is at the moment, it should be 2 up :))

[melemonpie]

@courtney2497

me too

[MsBOBBIN]

Very well done and many blessings ;)

[PoetGorman]

Hey Damh,

Blessings from the golden state! I don't know why I never searched YouTube for your work, but what a delight to stumble upon them! I'm going to have to listen to them all. I love your rendition of the Selkie lore. Peace of the sea to you.

[tatiaguita]

yo e leido el libro "ha llegado un extraño" y habla de el Gran Selkie, una gran foca macho que es rey de un mundo submarino, que en la tierra toma forma humana para cortejar a mujercitas hermosas de cabellos dorados para llevarselas a la profundidad del mar, de dnd nunca vuelven.

[broomstick25]

Another beautiful song from a wise one true.

Thanks for posting.

Blessed be.
