    It's great to see another brilliant video from yourself! Beautifully shot and edited, gosh what a harrowing story. I especially loved the delivery of Parcy's monologue as he's being betrayed, gosh there are some epic lines in there! Thanks so much for sharing, looking forward to seeing more soon! I've just finished a video about the Triple Goddess Brigid but next week I'll be heading back to Rathlin for some more filming over there. It was so great meeting you there last year! I hope you're keeping well :)

    Beautiful video.. although awfully sad.. what was done to Percival Reed was far worse than hanging.. To maim a man.. after he fought so valiantly.. and leave him to bleed to death.. ..was indeed cruel.. And the Halls betrayed him.. Felt badly for his family.. amazing he lived as long as he did without bleeding to death.. and that the herdsman was there to ease his agony and warn his family.. Your telling of this memorable tale was well done.. and you had us perched on the edge of our chairs.. Ach… it is your voice that brings this tale to life, kind sir.. and puts the proper mystical magic into the telling of it🌹☘️ The result is achingly beautiful..we so thank you 💜💙
