Hello friends my name is Arith Härger and today I'm going to talk about the Boar in the Celtic culture
just the other day I have spoken about the bear as an
ancient symbol related to strength and leadership so why not talk about the boar?
also an animal of great symbolical significance to our ancestors
but let's focus on the Celtic culture
there are many mythological accounts concerning Boars
in a variety of cultures throughout the world
Boar-hunt and all its process, from tracking the animal, chasing it and delivering the final blow at the end
has always been a very ritualistic activity greatly linked to initiation rites
tests of manhood, strength and an exercise to prepare for war
To start: Hercules chased and capture a ferocious and gigantic boar
the goddess Artemis sent a boar to Calydon to ravage, lay waste, to create chaos in that region
because Oeneus, the king of that city, forgot about the early sacrifice rituals to the gods
in Norse mythology of course we have Gullinbursti - the god Freyr's mount - a boar
and in indu mythology the boar Varaha the third of the ten avatars of Vishnu
and under that form Vishnu defeated the demon Hiranyaksha
well it's not my intention to give you a list of mythological accounts about the boar
I just want you to understand that this was an animal of
great importance in many cultures but well let's focus on the Celtic culture
so through archaeology we know our ancestors started the process of
domesticating animals during the beginning of the Neolithic period
of course, obviously, they domesticated animals before this period but the
Neolithic marks a time when man's actions greatly changed the behavior and
the physical appearances of animals, changes in animal eating habits
changings in the habitats and interbreeding to enhance certain
features of an animal - the earliest genetic changes
- well, a variety of factors which contributed to change the physical appearances of animals
boars were domesticated and we have transformed them into pigs
and for millions of years in general to us there has always been this idea that boars
were just wild pigs and pigs were domesticated wild pigs
so there was no great difference between the two, however, to the Celts a pig was a pig
and a boar was a completely different creature
in the Celtic languages there are different
words for a pig and for a boar, I mean, the Celts didn't just refer to boars as wild pigs
the Celts did not identify the two animals as being from the same species
for instance
the word for "boar" in ancient Irish and Gallic-Scottish is "torc", in Welsh is "baedd gwyllt"
and in Cornish "bath" - this shows us the singularity of the boar in the Celtic cultures
both the bear and the boar were considered to be the most fearsome
creatures of the forest in pre-christian times and throughout the early Middle Ages
the Celts highly respected and admired the capacity the boar had to
defend itself when the creature felt threatened, so the boar became a symbol
of courage and bravery and also ferocity in battle
to the Celts and also among the anglo-saxons the boar assumes a zoomorphic figuration of the ideal warrior
which is why the figure of the boar appears in decorations of weapons
and in the equipment of warriors, most prominent in helmets and shields
when the Celts went to war one of the most characteristic objects
they would take with them was the Carnyx, those long bronze trumpets
with an animal head from where the sound would come and most of the heads were
representations of a Boar's Head, of course there were other animal
representations such as serpents, but the boar was the most used
representation for these wind-instruments
the boar being an animal linked to courage, bravery and ferocity in battle, it's really interesting to see
this very creature represented in these objects emitting a battle chant from the depths
frightening
the boar is also associated with certain Celtic deities
such as Vitiris - a Celtic God who was worshipped in the British Isles
a very popular deity amongst young warriors and even Roman warriors
who adopted this God
and the god Mogons, also associated with the boar
and Moccus adeity from Gaul, worshiped by boar-hunters
the goddess Arduinna
also from Gaul, a goddess from a specific forest in ancient Gaul, and she is associated
with hunt and the boar, she even rides a boar
and of course in ancient Lusitania the cult of the God Endovélico, involved sacrificing boars and also pigs
so the boar was one of the main animals used in the cult of a variety of Celtic deities
and we have other spiritual/religious references to the boar such as
some of the warriors from ancient Celtic Scotland - they wore wild boar skins
or even a celtic tribe from northern Britain whose name was "Orci"
which means "tribe of the boars" and then a wondrous variety of statuettes and
figurines of boars and boars represented in coins
the boar was one of the most represented animals, second only to the horse
in conclusion the boar is one of the most representative animals of the Celtic culture as a symbol associated
with war, but above all, courage, bravery, ferocity in battle and in a variety of
folktales and Celtic legends even the ones about King Arthur, the boar is also
associated with magic and the Otherworld
in Celtic mythology, especially in Welsh mythology
the boar can speak with humans and the creature is able to
lead people into the world of the spirits, linking the animal to initiation rites
rites of passage
Alright friends, I know this is a short video
but I just wanted to tell you that at a certain point in history we used to
respect animals in our prehistoric communities, is very shamanic in their spiritual network
and then society evolved, economy, politics, technology and even the religious structure
so animals' abilities and skills, animal power
passed on into gods and we started to worship gods, but even during those times we still respected animals
and nowadays what I see is that a lot of people are
becoming vegans and vegetarians but I'm afraid that is becoming a trend
not everyone of course, but a lot of people are becoming vegans and vegetarians
because it's cool and- I'm not trying to say that please everyone
become a vegan or don't, you can eat whatever you want
what I'm trying to say is that instead of radically change our eating habits
we should first try to introduce this concept of respecting nature
respecting animals, respecting life in general, and maybe for that we should turn to certain
traditions, certain spiritualities that help us to understand why we should
respect animals as living beings, respect life in general, I think that would be
one of the best steps we could take towards-
towards the future, towards a better society
well...

주니엘 앨범 제작 프로젝트JUNIEL Album Project is now opened::Makestar - Duration: 2:02.
Hello you all, It's JUNIEL.
Pisces _ JUNIEL
JUNIEL's pop-ballad song, led by the tender piano melodies. It strongly describes the devastating break-up between lovers, and the feeling of desperately missing someone.
LAST CARNIVAL _ JUNIEL
JUNIEL's medium-tempo Lounge song with a touch of the retro, 'Shibuya Kei' rhythm. JUNIEL wrote the song based on her hurtful personal experience of being in a past relationship with a violent lover.
Lately, I have been devoting all my attention and energy to the production of my new mini album,
and in the meantime I've been working on the new track, this refreshing idea appeared on my thoughts.
Which made me decide to launch my 1st Project on the 'Global Crowdfunding Platform,' Makestar,
that I look forward to conducting soon, so it will allow me to hear and feel the fans' voice soon.
I'm very excited and hope this new opportunity will invite in not only the fans in S.Korea, but also those who are from many different countries.
I can guarantee you all will be soon witnessing much diverse sides of me while we're carrying out this project together.
So, hope you all will find this worthy of taking part.
Do not forget to keep your eye on for the release of my new mini album too~~!!
Let me feel you all's lots of support and love~~
