 Välkomna till mina betydande subskrivare idag. Jag är tillbaka med en annan bookreview. Jag har läggat The Kelt från Peter Beresford Ellis. Jag har faktiskt läggat den senaste året, men jag har läggat några siffror. Jag trodde på en steg att jag skulle göra en video tala om den läsenen av den här booken. Nu, innan jag började att lägga på den här booken, jag skulle vilja lägga till er alla av de faktorna jag har skrivit. Q&A-tredje på Patreon och subskrivare. Så om du vill fråga en fråga för den kommande Q&A-videoen, vilket jag gör i några dagar, kan du gå över till de här två pagesen. Och också en note här på crowdfunding. Crowdfunding allow mig, som en kontentkreator, att inte ha att relatera på sponsorskrips. Jag tror på mig. Jag har skrivit ganska flera eftersom jag har läggat 100.000 subskrivare här. Och jag vill fortsätta med min integritet. Jag vill inte vain att förlata nåt som inte är i ljudet med min talare. Jag måste förlata fördelningen. Det är mormen. Jag förlatar. Jag vill vara sannolikt med det. Och det är möjligt för mig att göra så eftersom jag också får ditt hjälp. Så om du vill förlata kanalen och så, inte verkligen att förlata dig, men det som gör att världen var en annorlunda för mig. Så ja, det är på grund av en patron och en subskrivare. Så checka ut första ljudet i beskrivningen. Och jag kommer att se dig där. Nu anyways, på till Kälts. Och som det säger, det är en brev historia av Kälts. Det är inte överlig, det är ganska... ...konsekt. Och det ger en bra introduktion. If you want to delve deeper into any particular area, there are of course plenty of other books. But this was recommended to me to just give, you know, introduction to that time period. And I have a few sections here in the book which I would like to elaborate on. Because I think that can... It's a lesson from history that is applicable at our current stage in our civilization. So first and foremost in the chapter of Celtic warriors. Here you have Karinunnos. I don't know if I even pronounced that correctly. But I posted actually this picture to Jultoname Nutrition's Instagram page the other day. If you are on Instagram you can follow me there as well or follow the supplement company. I tried to post a bit about mythology etc. Primarily Nordic, but also Celtic and Slavic and interesting stuff. Anyway, on to the quote. To the Celts warfare was a matter of honor which could begin and end in a personal single combat. It was often a matter of individual courage. Generally the Celts were not interested in central authority and discipline. They thought and acted as individuals and were natural anarchists. In modern times these attributes are seen as laudable. In ancient times they were the reason for the downfall of the Celtic peoples. Does this sound familiar to you? It sounds very familiar to me. You know it's the curse of the western man. This constant individualism. Everyone wants to be his own boss. And no one wants to subjugate himself to a hierarchy or authority. And you know in comes someone who works as a collective. Completely demolishes the people at hand. So he's talked about the Roman invasion of Gaul. You know Romans under the blasphemous Julius Caesar. I don't like Caesar. I will talk about this in a later video. But briefly I don't like him because of the way he treated Vercingetorix. I think it was completely unnecessary to treat Vercingetorix with the lack of respect. You know if you have won a great victory you can show some humility. Because then you can afford you don't need to humiliate a vanquished foe. So basically what happened was that when Vercingetorix surrendered to Caesar. He was brought to Rome and was held captive there until Caesar had completed his conquest of Gaul. And upon the return of Caesar to Rome when they had their triumph. They brought out Vercingetorix to be executed basically. So not a particularly glorious and honorable end. And if I had been Caesar I would have perhaps executed him with honor directly. Or come up with some other solution. But the way it was handled now is not something I can endorse. That's another video though just throwing it out there. I'm not a fan of Julius Caesar. Now anyway point being the Celts the Gauls fought as he says as individuals. The Romans came in with their military hierarchy. Military discipline and conquered the Gauls. So think of that today all libertarians. At this moment in time we can't afford to be all too individualistic. We need to work as a collective if we are to overcome the challenges that our great civilization stands in the midst of. Anyway that was one worthy lesson. Another worthy lesson or something I thought was interesting at least. So also the aforementioned Julius Caesar. And I quote from the book here. However Caesar goes overboard when he says of the British Celts. And this is a quote from Caesar then. Wives are shared between groups of 10 or 12 men. Especially between brothers and between fathers and sons. But offspring of these unions are counted as the children of the man with whom a particular woman cohabited first. And then the author. So Peter Beresford Ellis continues. This is a total misrepresentation of the polygoma society of the early Celts. The Romans seemed preoccupied with the liberated attitude of the early Celts. Dio Cassius comments on the fact that the Empress Julia Augusta criticized what she saw as a lack of morals in the way Celtic women were free to choose their husbands and lovers and did so openly without subterfuge. The object of her criticism was the wife of a north British chieftain named Argen Toccoxos. No idea if I pronounced that correctly. But yeah a British chieftain at least. The encounter took place early in the third century AD. According to Dio Cassius the wife of Argen Toccoxos turned to the Empress and replied with dignity. We Celtic women obey the demands of nature in a more moral way than the women of Rome. We consort openly with the best men but you of Rome allow yourselves to be deborged in the secret by the vilest. It is not recorded how the Empress reacted. So yeah they are having a bit back and forth the British Celtic women and the Roman women on who is more degenerate basically. And there is something to be said here about conquering others and finding it just cause for war. It just cause for colonization etc. That is if you have an immoral people, if you have a people who are degenerate. You know as Caesar says these Gauls, these Celts, they share wives between ten men. You obviously feel a disgust in your body just hearing that. Now Caesar lied, it was not the case that the Celts had these sort of unnatural family constellations. But he says this to justify his own conquest because no one likes promiscuity basically. And that is also used as an excuse to conquer a people. So if we take today's example if you have Muslims on one hand who have maybe a stricter moral code than our contemporary western liberals have. You know it can be seen as just cause to bring Islam or bring some more moral guideline to these degenerates. Same thing here. You know they say the other side is more degenerate to prove their own moral superiority. And if you have a moral advantage you have a better claim to your own independence. So it's almost like the Romans say you know your degenerates we need to conquer you. The British say you and Rome are the true degenerates. And I quote again I thought it was a fun quote here. You allow yourself to be debauched in secret by the vilest. And you know the Romans were quite degenerate especially towards the end of the Roman Empire. So yeah important lesson don't be degenerate. Then I have another little thing I thought was interesting here. So another passage here. Like their fellow Indo-Europeans the Hindus the Celts regarded water with veneration and they had their sacred rivers. They bathed in them and offered votive gifts to the deities of the springs and rivers. These offerings included wooden models of themselves or the affected part of their limbs together with all manner of treasures. Most Celtic river names are identified with goddesses. The Marne for example comes from Matrona which means mother. So yeah I just thought that was a nice little thing to know. The sacredness of waters and the shared similarities between ancient religions. Now of course if any Indian men of power are watching this you need to clean up your rivers. It's sacrilegious to pollute them so much. But anyway this is not a video about such sad matters I'm just throwing it out there. If you believe in a religion who views rivers etc as holy you can't pollute them. Now on to the last thing in the book I thought was worthy of mentioning is the following. And I quote from the book. They also noticed that the motions of the moon could in some cases affect men and women and their mental attitudes. From these initial observations they developed a belief that the motions of what were then thought of as stars influenced individuals and events on earth. So what you're talking also about here is the moon. And this of course correlates with something I have written about and talked a little bit about. And I thought to yeah tie it into what they're talking about here. Full moon can alter your and this might be a bit. I don't have any exact scientific study. I did some studies that says that there are more violent crime during full moon. These were two British studies. You can Google them if you want. So here is one study titled full moon and crime. And you can see in the abstract here that the incidence of crimes reported to three police stations in different towns. One rural one urban one industrial was studied to see if it varied with the days of the lunar cycle. The incidence of crimes committed on full moon days were much higher than on all other days. I can link this in the description box below as well. But anyway I've noticed on myself that I am a bit stronger during full moon. That I have prepared exactly the same. I have actually tested this. I did this last year. So I did deadlifts on as many full moons as I could and compared it to the non full moon deadlifting sessions. And I noticed there was a difference. I couldn't explain it in any other way than it was full moon. Then of course it could have been a bit of a placebo as well that I thought now is full moon. So now I will be extra strong. But there might be something in it. There might be something that ties into the legends of werewolves as well. You know that you have men transforming into werewolves during full moon. Because it alters your mentality a bit and you can think about this yourself. Do you have problems sleeping during full moon? You might be a bit more agitated. I know I am. I have a harder time sleeping in full moon. So yeah that is interesting to many different cultures have this relationship with the moon. With the full moon. Something primordial. Also I will admit when I created the werewolvesbrygd. Which means where wolves brew. So the pre-workout it was intended to take during full moons. Then of course you can take it every day if you want. Just that it is quite high in caffeine. But yeah I wanted to invoke that feel of you transforming into a werewolf during full moon. Extra aggressive. Have a really good session in the temple of iron. Make the most out of the ancient knowledge we can derive from cultures and mythologies. So full moon deadlift. And I will make a wild hunt video on it. Where I encourage you to deadlift during full moon. But I will do it when the corona pandemic is over. And we can all get back to the gym. So anyway that was just some thoughts I picked up while reading this. Otherwise it's a really good introduction. It talks about quite a lot of different things. Agriculture, societal issues, relations, wars, everything. So yeah I can recommend it if you are interested in the Celts. So thank you for watching and have a great rest of your day. XOXO BOO!
