While the text was good and fairly informative, the majority of the photos used on this video are very misleading. Naked dancing maidens? That has nothing to do with CR. Waterhouse's images of Arthurian mythology? Again, nothing to do with CR.

@caoimneadh While I can appreciate where you are coming from, not all the imagery was meant to be taken literally. They were meant to add to the overall aesthetic of the video. Plus, there were only so many images I could find {that were even remotely relevant} without infringing on copyright.

Can't please everyone all the time I suppose.

So what status do the Celtic languages play in this movement? For example Irish or Welsh or Scots Gaelic?

[nefaeria]

@RoyalKnightVIII Hi there! I think that it all depends on the individuals, households, or tribes. I know that many try to conduct at least part of their rituals in the language of their chosen pantheon/culture. I would say the pronunciation of names and places are obviously important to most, while others dedicate as much time as possible to thoroughly learn the language(s) of their chosen culture(s).

Where did you find this great music? I really enjoyed it, especially the drum and violin piece!

[RoyalKnightVIII]

@nefaeria Ah thanks for the response, seeing as how rough the language has had I was curious to see it used in other contexts. Thanks for reply ;) Nice vid by the by.

You western Europeans,have destroyed the unity of the church before 1000 years,because of the proud of the pope and the interests of the Frangs.And now you dont like the religion you have done!It have became so repulsive to you,that you prefer the ancient fairytales...In some years nor that faith will be likeable to you...Were will you believe then?I do not want to express my thoughts...-nice vid and music!
