Skeptic Psychic: Hello!
Skeptic Psychic: and welcome once again to the skeptic psychic tonight's a very special topic trigger warning. We will be discussing a very, very famous Catholic priest will, which which will have overtones of Ca Catholicism. So
Skeptic Psychic: with me tonight is a such a wonderful host, guest!
Skeptic Psychic: Greatest thing in the whole world.
Skeptic Psychic: third only. To my wife and my mother.
Skeptic Psychic: Kimber Rodriguez.
Kim Rodriguez: Hey! How are you this week.
Skeptic Psychic: I'm doing fine. How are you doing.
Kim Rodriguez: Doing good. As you mentioned, there is a lot of religious overtone in this tonight's episode. Does a trigger warning? We are not endorsing it. It's just part of the history of the story.
Kim Rodriguez: So you know. Listen.
Kim Rodriguez: if you like. If you wanna skip this one, you know we totally get it.
Kim Rodriguez: But anything exciting happened with you this past week.
Skeptic Psychic: Not this past week, but next this upcoming week.
Skeptic Psychic: September twenty-fourth until April the second, as a very exciting week for me.
Kim Rodriguez: You mean? March 20, fourth.
Skeptic Psychic: Yeah. March 20, fourth to April second.
Kim Rodriguez: What's happening during that week.
Skeptic Psychic: That is the week
Skeptic Psychic: in Christianity which I personally believe in.
Skeptic Psychic: in which the final days of Jesus happens.
Skeptic Psychic: Palm Sunday starts tomorrow, and then that whole week leads up to Good Friday.
Kim Rodriguez: Oh, so you're talking about Holy Week!
Skeptic Psychic: Well, not to me. I don't delete I don't call it Holy Week.
Skeptic Psychic: I just call it my favorite holiday.
Kim Rodriguez: interesting! Well, I did. While I was waiting for you this evening I came across an interesting article.
Kim Rodriguez: that I you know this is something in nature that's natural, but it's still kind of strange, and out there, and rarely seen. So I thought it would fit
Kim Rodriguez: since we are, you know the skeptics I kick
Kim Rodriguez: anyway The article is from Kwx, which is out of
Kim Rodriguez: Waco, Texas, and, as you know, Waco, that's where our daddy was born.
Skeptic Psychic: Well, Steve Martin, and Dr. Pepper.
Kim Rodriguez: Yes.
Kim Rodriguez: But anyway, this article is actually.
Skeptic Psychic: And maybe dusty. I'm not too sure.
Kim Rodriguez: Yeah, I think he was born to Waco, too, I think.
Kim Rodriguez: But yeah, this article, even though it was written by a local news station in Waco. It actually takes place
Kim Rodriguez: on Mustang Island, which is off the coast of Corpus Christi.
Skeptic Psychic: Christy yep.
Kim Rodriguez: And what this article talks about is a strange spaghetti monster
Kim Rodriguez: that spotted washing up on shore.
Skeptic Psychic: No, not the strange spaghetti monster.
Kim Rodriguez: Yes, that's a phone.
Skeptic Psychic: Going to do.
Kim Rodriguez: Now as opposed to what we know as a religion of the spaghetti monster, where they wear the strainers on their head. This is an actual sea creature that is similar to the Portuguese man of war.
Kim Rodriguez: And it's actually a colony of animals that live together as one
Kim Rodriguez: and
Kim Rodriguez: each and
Kim Rodriguez: I'm sorry.
Kim Rodriguez: lost my train of thought was still thinking of the strangers on their heads.
Skeptic Psychic: Yes, the great spaghetti muster. They have to wear their special strainers.
Kim Rodriguez: Yes, but this one. It is very similar to a jellyfish, as it does have tentacles that can sting.
Kim Rodriguez: So if you are on the beach right now, as it is spring break, and you happen to see this creature.
Kim Rodriguez: Just go ahead and admire it from the distance. Don't get up close, but
Skeptic Psychic: Come with this dance.
Kim Rodriguez: I would.
Skeptic Psychic: You might not get stuck.
Kim Rodriguez: I will!
Skeptic Psychic: So am I, Bernie, yet for you.
Kim Rodriguez: No, you're fine, but I will post that on our website, since it is something that is strange and obscure, even if it is a true animal.
Kim Rodriguez: and
Kim Rodriguez: yeah, it is spring break right now. So I'm avoiding South Padre Island with, you know, at all costs, because it is one of the top 10 spring break destinations in the country.
Kim Rodriguez: It has been swarmed by not aliens. Not strange. Well, sort of strange creatures, but college kids.
Kim Rodriguez: So yeah.
Kim Rodriguez: Don't want to get into the one of those encounters right now, you know, you might not be able to find our way back.
Skeptic Psychic: Nope now to now. Didn't find the way back. But anyway.
Kim Rodriguez: Let's get into a nice topic.
Skeptic Psychic: Yes.
Skeptic Psychic: now for those of you who say, Oh, my gosh! It's St. Patrick's Day! Saint Patrick was the one who drove up the snakes in Ireland.
Skeptic Psychic: Guess what?
Skeptic Psychic: That's only a myth and a legend. Tonight we're going to tell you who exactly what, exactly and how exactly St. Patrick saved the the aisle known as Ireland.
Kim Rodriguez: Yes. Would you like to start us off? Oh, great brother.
Skeptic Psychic: Oh, sure, I'm the Great Brother now.
Kim Rodriguez: You're always the Great Brother.
Skeptic Psychic: Alrighty. So going into the Saint Patrick is celebrated for a good half of the planet.
Skeptic Psychic: obviously in Ireland, but also in the United States.
Skeptic Psychic: Australia, Canada, Russia, Singapore, Japan, Argentina, Croatia, India, Malaysia, Monthly, Musterate, Norway, Spain, South Korea.
Skeptic Psychic: Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Arab emigrants, and the Uk. Let us also not forget. Say, Patrick's day is also celebrated differently, but also in Mexico.
Skeptic Psychic: Now
Skeptic Psychic: to think about it, what do you really know about the holiday
Skeptic Psychic: for one Irish. It's a national holiday.
Skeptic Psychic: and what with a true meaning of purpose. So why is the rest of the world uses this as an excuse to wear green and eat corn, beef, and cabbage.
Skeptic Psychic: which
Skeptic Psychic: also down large amounts of green beer
Skeptic Psychic: with water, set a saw Caribbean Island, only 16 meters long and 11 kilometers wide. Consider this an important holiday as well.
Skeptic Psychic: Well.
Skeptic Psychic: let's start off with
Skeptic Psychic: the ancient homeland
Skeptic Psychic: of Ireland.
Skeptic Psychic: and the arrival of one set scared British teenager, most likely named methane
Skeptic Psychic: suket.
Kim Rodriguez: May win, second.
Skeptic Psychic: Yeah.
Kim Rodriguez: It went suck it. Yeah.
Skeptic Psychic: Maiwan Suket.
Skeptic Psychic: He was born at the end of the Roman error
Skeptic Psychic: which they ruled over the the Britana, and the year of 3 87 Ad.
Skeptic Psychic: Some scholars suggest he lived in the birds
Skeptic Psychic: birds so wild.
Skeptic Psychic: Bruce Swalde.
Skeptic Psychic: some 20 miles from Highway, so Hadrian's wall in northern England.
Skeptic Psychic: though he was most likely born in Scotland or Wales. His father was a deacon in the Catholic Church, and his grandparent was a priest.
Skeptic Psychic: though Maidwin
Skeptic Psychic: had no affinity one way or the other towards God. At that time
Skeptic Psychic: that family was well off enough, and he was lived in a comfortable life.
Kim Rodriguez: Now what is known about Patrick
Kim Rodriguez: comes from the writing called
Kim Rodriguez: Confessor
Kim Rodriguez: Cadetio.
Kim Rodriguez: Confess to you, thank you.
Kim Rodriguez: Confess 0.
Kim Rodriguez: And this was
Kim Rodriguez: probably more than likely written by Patrick himself.
Kim Rodriguez: He doesn't give any other name other than Patrick.
Kim Rodriguez: so there is no indication as to why he chose that particular name.
Kim Rodriguez: Only reason that we can suggest
Kim Rodriguez: or suspect suggests. The only reason we can suspect his name
Kim Rodriguez: and was may win, is because
Kim Rodriguez: he does mention the names of occupations of both his father and grandfather in Britain.
Kim Rodriguez: given historians a chance to track him down through his lineage.
Kim Rodriguez: Now, according to Patrick's confessio.
Kim Rodriguez: when he was about 16
Kim Rodriguez: he was in a rating party.
Kim Rodriguez: and this was a party of Irish pirates
Kim Rodriguez: that had kidnapped him and sold him as a slave in Ireland.
Kim Rodriguez: His purchase was by a chieftain
Kim Rodriguez: named Miliyu
Kim Rodriguez: of Atri.
Kim Rodriguez: and he put Mae went to work herding sheep and pigs.
Kim Rodriguez: a smelly and thankless job that kept him out of the elements.
Kim Rodriguez: As such. The boy had little interactions
Kim Rodriguez: with anyone.
Kim Rodriguez: and no one bothered him much.
Kim Rodriguez: and to replace his tattered clothing.
Kim Rodriguez: I'm sorry no one.
Kim Rodriguez: no one bothered to replace his tattered clothing.
Kim Rodriguez: so the winters he had to work
Kim Rodriguez: to keep from freezing. As his original garment slowly turned to brags.
Skeptic Psychic: It went from riches to rags.
Kim Rodriguez: Now, during this period of his life, is when he became a firm believer in God.
Kim Rodriguez: having no one else to talk to.
Kim Rodriguez: Maywin would rather would later write about this period in his life.
Skeptic Psychic: And these are the words from May with.
Skeptic Psychic: at the time I did not know that the true God
Skeptic Psychic: I was taken in the captivity in Ireland.
Skeptic Psychic: along with thousands of others. We deserved this because we had gone away from gold
Skeptic Psychic: and did not keep his commitments. We would not listen to our police, who advises us that how we sound could be saved.
Skeptic Psychic: The Lord brought on the strong anger upon us, and scattered us among many different nations, even to the ends of the earth.
Skeptic Psychic: It was
Skeptic Psychic: among the 4 owners
Skeptic Psychic: that was seen how little I was.
Skeptic Psychic: It was only after 6 years in slavery that God revealed.
Skeptic Psychic: 2 may win
Skeptic Psychic: at a vision that it was time to flee from safely, and he would walk on a coral.
Skeptic Psychic: Oh, walk to the coast, not the coral, but the coast.
Kim Rodriguez: Well, there is coral on a coast so.
Skeptic Psychic: Yes, but
Skeptic Psychic: some 8, 180 to 200 miles away, and that a ship would be waiting for him there. It would take him
Skeptic Psychic: home again.
Kim Rodriguez: Home again, home again, jiggity Jake.
Skeptic Psychic: Trusting in May, when walked to the coast, traveling through unfamiliar wilderness and foraging as he went.
Skeptic Psychic: Once he reached the shore he did indeed find a British ship
Skeptic Psychic: anchored there. That he did was able to board and go home.
Skeptic Psychic: He hadn't been home in a long, and probably still recovering from the years of his abuse, when God sent him to another vision. According to his confessional, Kim.
Kim Rodriguez: I saw a man coming.
Kim Rodriguez: as it were, from Ireland.
Kim Rodriguez: His name was victorious.
Kim Rodriguez: and he carried many letters.
Kim Rodriguez: and he gave me one of them.
Kim Rodriguez: I read the heading, The Voice of the Irish.
Kim Rodriguez: As I began the letter. I imagined
Kim Rodriguez: in that moment that I heard the voice of those very people who were the wood, who were near the wood, a full cut
Kim Rodriguez: which is beside the western sea, and they cried out as one voice, We appeal to you, holy servant boy.
Kim Rodriguez: to come walk among us
Kim Rodriguez: now about this time, May, one would have been about 22 to 23
Kim Rodriguez: But he didn't think of himself, but only of the people imploring him to come and help.
Mawin traveled to gal and studied for 25 years.
Kim Rodriguez: Eventually he was sustained by Saint Germanus, who was Bishop of
Kim Rodriguez: Oxyear.
Kim Rodriguez: Bishop was well aware of Mawyn's vision.
Kim Rodriguez: and gave his blessing for the young man to leave Britain's shores and bring gospel to the Irish.
Kim Rodriguez: According to the records. Maven would have been going by the name of Patrick from this point on.
Kim Rodriguez: And that kind of does make sense cause, I know, like in the Catholic religion. When people are ordained, whether it be, you know, to priesthood, or, you know, to become a nun, they always take on another name.
Kim Rodriguez: so it would make sense.
Skeptic Psychic: Sometimes praise kind of like. Oh, there's 5 or 5 acre.
Skeptic Psychic: father of holiday, you know.
Skeptic Psychic: Usually when they can become up with the pictures, so they become a holly folder.
Skeptic Psychic: filius.
Skeptic Psychic: Other sacred rooms.
Kim Rodriguez: But that would make sense. Why, he stopped going Byron, and started going by Patrick when he was ordained by the church
Kim Rodriguez: He did reach the Irish shores
Kim Rodriguez: of. So he reached the Irish shores of slain on March 20 fifth.
Kim Rodriguez: in 43,
Kim Rodriguez: 433 A. D.
Kim Rodriguez: And by now he would have been 48 years old.
Skeptic Psychic: Interesting to note by the time this is probably be in the future it'll probably be May about May 20, fourth, May 20 fifth, so
Skeptic Psychic: pretty interesting thing!
Kim Rodriguez: Yes.
Kim Rodriguez: you mean March not, may.
Skeptic Psychic: March, 20 fifth.
Kim Rodriguez: Yes, you are getting your your your days mixed up.
Skeptic Psychic: I'm sorry. That's okay.
Kim Rodriguez: You want the share to be over with, obviously.
Skeptic Psychic: Exactly
Skeptic Psychic: now.
Skeptic Psychic: At the beginning the local package did not like what Patrick had to say, and there are accounts of him being imprisoned. Numerous times and attempts were made on his life.
Skeptic Psychic: But as Patrick began carrying a dagger.
Skeptic Psychic: this is hardly surprising, but more on that. In a minute
Skeptic Psychic: what was on Patrick's side was that he was to become one of the most
Skeptic Psychic: of the time he spent to that. Okay.
Skeptic Psychic: what was on Patrick's side was that because of his time he spent in Ireland as a slave, he had an understanding of what their native language, culture, and religion.
Skeptic Psychic: He built us alliances with the local leaders and merged the Irish law with Christianity.
Skeptic Psychic: Basically.
Skeptic Psychic: he kind of cheated.
Skeptic Psychic: He moved the Christian celebratory
Skeptic Psychic: days to one that corresponds with those Irish who used to celebrating.
Skeptic Psychic: He used local shamrocks or 3 leaf clovers and shared them, representing the Holy Trinity.
Skeptic Psychic: The number 3 was already significant to the patch pagan tree. So it was easier
Skeptic Psychic: to step in and include the 3 most deities of sorts to their belief systems which are already included the tripled deities.
Skeptic Psychic: The now popular Celtic cross.
Skeptic Psychic: our Celtic cross
Skeptic Psychic: with the 3 arms and a base joined by the circle of a mashup of the Christian cross, and the Irish
Skeptic Psychic: Trescallian, or triple spiral.
Skeptic Psychic: In the
Skeptic Psychic: annuals of the Kingdom of Ireland it is stated that
Skeptic Psychic: nothing could be clearer than that Patrick emerge consistency only pagan superstitions with so much speed and skill.
Skeptic Psychic: He really won the people over in Christian religion before they understood that exact difference between the 2 systems of belief.
Kim Rodriguez: Now the first Christian church in Ireland was, thanks to Patrick.
Kim Rodriguez: however, he was not the first Catholic to try to reach Irish shores.
Kim Rodriguez: A noble man named Pilateus from Gaul was actually the first known Bishop to tread the Irish shores.
Kim Rodriguez: He was married
Kim Rodriguez: to a young I'm sorry he he was a married man.
Kim Rodriguez: with a young wife and young daughter.
Kim Rodriguez: When he decided to dedicate himself to the Church
Kim Rodriguez: according to history.
Kim Rodriguez: he kissed them all in a manner of the apostles which we're taking to means
Kim Rodriguez: and weeping openly
Kim Rodriguez: before he left for Sicily to study.
Kim Rodriguez: Apparently his last
Kim Rodriguez: act before leaving, was give his own daughter away to a convent.
Skeptic Psychic: To a kind of rich woman.
Kim Rodriguez: Yes, now it wasn't clear it wasn't known
Kim Rodriguez: whether she or her mother approved to joining this convent.
Kim Rodriguez: but maybe their feelings are recorded
Kim Rodriguez: on some long decaying and forgotten parchment or scroll deep in within the Roman vaults, or maybe they were never even recorded
Kim Rodriguez: I mean
Kim Rodriguez: at that time women didn't have any rights, so if he had said, My , daughter's going to a convent, really, there couldn't be much argument behind that.
Kim Rodriguez: But I digress.
Skeptic Psychic: According quoting Shakespeare, get thee to a nunnery woman.
Kim Rodriguez: Yes.
Skeptic Psychic: Oh, I'm sorry, woman, get me to a notary.
Kim Rodriguez: Either way.
Skeptic Psychic: Oh just just a little bonus question here. Who could tell me where that's from?
Kim Rodriguez: I want to say Taming of the Shrew.
Skeptic Psychic: No.
Kim Rodriguez: Where is it from?
Skeptic Psychic: Hamlet.
Kim Rodriguez: Okay.
Kim Rodriguez: Now back to our story.
Kim Rodriguez: Piladius, upon becoming a full priest and commanded off to Ireland.
Kim Rodriguez: He refused to work with the people and refused to set accept their ways.
Kim Rodriguez: Perhaps if he tried acting like he even wanted to be there.
Kim Rodriguez: Maybe if he gave less arrogant lectures.
Kim Rodriguez: Maybe if he didn't dam the way the Irish were living for centuries.
Kim Rodriguez: maybe Pelettius would have had a chance to be successful in Ireland.
The King
Kim Rodriguez: of Leinster in the Eastern province banished him.
Kim Rodriguez: and his son, Prince Nafi, made sure that Paladius got on the boat to North Britain.
Kim Rodriguez: he, he ended up working to establish parishes among the already faithful up in Scotland.
Kim Rodriguez: Now Scottish tradition holds that Paladius eventually pulled together a Christian community
Kim Rodriguez: that he settled in and would preside over for nearly 20 years. But that's in Scotland. Let's go back to Ireland.
Skeptic Psychic: now. Palladius had 4 companions who had accompanied him to Ireland, and none of them were upset at instead of the masses, and they were allowed to stay if they wished.
Skeptic Psychic: Brother Sylvester
Skeptic Psychic: Selenius remained in Ireland.
Skeptic Psychic: but Augustus and Benedictus followed Palladius until his death sometime around the year 4 50 A. D.
Skeptic Psychic: After that they both returned to wherever it was they came from, and aren't really important to the story anymore.
Skeptic Psychic: Now Sylvester and Zonius did not appear to do well that their history seemed to be added in with Palladius, leaving them to run a church pelican had established, and though
Skeptic Psychic: don't shout aaria
Skeptic Psychic: which translates to the
Skeptic Psychic: Church of the High field. Okay.
Skeptic Psychic: the local record recorded 30 year 3,300 years later, states that the monistic foundation was built with where we owned medieval church once stood. Ironically they named it Saint Syvester.
Skeptic Psychic: however, the church was named it after the Pope Syvester the first. Not this lonely priest.
Skeptic Psychic: Sure.
Skeptic Psychic: so it's no wonder the Irish want to do harm to Patrick when he first came to the scene 2 years earlier, they hadn't exited whom not have been
Skeptic Psychic: around 30 at that time, and 2 years later. Here comes the new guy, only older.
Skeptic Psychic: namely, Patrick.
Skeptic Psychic: who would have been in his late forties wanting to push that god Agenda again.
Kim Rodriguez: So much for the younger guy. It turns out the old man would be the only one to truly set a flame of Christianity alight. Within a couple of decades the entire nation was converted to Christianity.
Kim Rodriguez: Now that is a major achievement.
Kim Rodriguez: So with the name St. Patrick. You think the Catholic Church was the one who granted him his statehood right.
Skeptic Psychic: He!
Kim Rodriguez: Nope.
Kim Rodriguez: this is just one of the many things that you might not know about the man.
Kim Rodriguez: Patrick has never actually been sainted by the Catholic Church.
Kim Rodriguez: It's only in name, and the Irish themselves have proclaimed him one.
Kim Rodriguez: Now, why didn't the Church do it
Kim Rodriguez: well for starters? They hadn't even established a formal process for sainthood during his life.
Kim Rodriguez: And that's the stuff he's legend for
Kim Rodriguez: really you can't call it any. Really, you can't call it anything miraculous.
Kim Rodriguez: you know again, this isn't our opinion.
Kim Rodriguez: He did work tirelessly, and converted thousands to an Established churches and monasteries all across the country.
Kim Rodriguez: but as far as the Catholic Church is concerned, you need to have 2 miracles to be granted canonization.
Kim Rodriguez: Now, there are so many tales about Patrick that sound miraculous.
Kim Rodriguez: after all. Didn't he stop on the snakes of Ireland?
Kim Rodriguez: It's true that Ireland has no native snakes.
Kim Rodriguez: Any snake you may possibly come across was either imported in and is kept in a zoo, or as a pet.
Kim Rodriguez: or it was a pet that got loose or was leased into the wild.
Skeptic Psychic: But with the lack of snakes, really isn't anything miraculous, but rather a regional explanation.
Skeptic Psychic: Ireland, like the other aisles of the northern seas.
Skeptic Psychic: Once we're all part of the same land mass.
Skeptic Psychic: What now is Ireland shores. What's what's merely
Skeptic Psychic: lowlands? In fact.
Skeptic Psychic: Ireland became an island long before Britain, which is closer to the Eurasian mainland.
Skeptic Psychic: As Britain was still landlocked, many reptiles, including snakes, were able to migrate, due to the warming climates.
Skeptic Psychic: Ireland was already an island continent that the time the snakes reached their coast
Skeptic Psychic: south.
Skeptic Psychic: Why, the stories about St. Patrick's stomping all the snakes of Ireland.
Skeptic Psychic: It doesn't make much for a grand rail till
Skeptic Psychic: share over a pint nearly a roaming fire at night, but he is actually an allegory.
Skeptic Psychic: C.
Skeptic Psychic: The Irish
Skeptic Psychic: have a long history of and be invaded and decimated, invaded and decimated, invaded and decimated. In fact, a lot of the trial Irish history is only known for about.
Skeptic Psychic: because an anonymous author in the eleventh century
Skeptic Psychic: compiled a document that he somehow helpfully named the Book of the Invasion.
Skeptic Psychic: though it's always been referenced to as the Book of taking of Ireland.
Skeptic Psychic: depending on those who translate to refer to
Skeptic Psychic: the information it contained across the about the Celts cells.
Skeptic Psychic: their myths and poems tinkering with the history of the back of the Old Testament.
Skeptic Psychic: which still was used over a century late later.
Skeptic Psychic: now interesting to note.
Skeptic Psychic: Ireland was the name given, I believe, to one of the conquerors. The the Celts called the the ranch salt.
Skeptic Psychic: but they spelled it the same way.
Skeptic Psychic: Now each time they were conquered the inhabitants were either killed or allowed to flee, which is why there's a lot of
Skeptic Psychic: Mitha Mithraes.
Kim Rodriguez: Miss Laura.
Skeptic Psychic: Myth floor, mithry, myth floor.
Skeptic Psychic: east time they were conquered. The inhabitants were either killed or allowed to flee, which is where a light of the Irish
Skeptic Psychic: myth. Laura comes from
Skeptic Psychic: the further point.
Skeptic Psychic: and the Dweller did the native.
Skeptic Psychic: All right. So
Skeptic Psychic: a further bore at the Tuatinthian
Skeptic Psychic: were said to have gone underground, giving birth to many of the Fay.
Skeptic Psychic: the Malevian
Skeptic Psychic: Milthians.
Skeptic Psychic: Polarians, the Leviens
Skeptic Psychic: from Spain, are set to be the ancestors of modern day. Irish.
Skeptic Psychic: Funny enough, the Millleans, if you go back into their history, who are involved in building the Tower of Babel
Skeptic Psychic: when they lived under a Scythian rule
Skeptic Psychic: far from Spain
Skeptic Psychic: Peak.
Skeptic Psychic: The King
Skeptic Psychic: Fantasy, had a son who married the daughter of an Egyptian Pharaoh. Their son Gabe, is also known as the original ancestor of the Gaelic people.
Kim Rodriguez: When Gaydale was a child he was bitten by a poisonous steak, and was rushed
Kim Rodriguez: to Moses for healing.
Kim Rodriguez: Moses then prophesized that gay deals as descendants
Kim Rodriguez: would one day follow the setting sun and find land where no stakes could be found.
Kim Rodriguez: After the Pharaoh's round in the Red Sea.
Kim Rodriguez: Gabil and his family returned to Cythia.
Kim Rodriguez: where his descendants
Kim Rodriguez: decided to search for this promised land, and arrived in Spain.
Kim Rodriguez: Once they got there they realized that Spain was not the promised land.
Kim Rodriguez: but there was nowhere else for them to go with the time.
Kim Rodriguez: Sorry I lost where we were at. Let me go back.
Skeptic Psychic: You, okay?
Kim Rodriguez: Yeah, I just had lost my place.
Kim Rodriguez: I'm trying to get back to it
Kim Rodriguez: now. Brogan, who was leading the search instead, built a town.
Kim Rodriguez: and it was called Briganti Brigantiya.
Kim Rodriguez: He raised a large shower on the cliffs above the sea.
Kim Rodriguez: Now the story goes on to say that Brogan's son, if climbed the tower on a clear day, and spotted Ireland in the distance.
Kim Rodriguez: Becoming entranced by it, he set sail with a crew of men to see the land for himself.
Kim Rodriguez: The Taratha day Dean, mortally wounded.
Skeptic Psychic: They did in.
Kim Rodriguez: Yes, to Waffa Dana to Dan.
Kim Rodriguez: Good.
Skeptic Psychic: Day down, and of course.
Kim Rodriguez: And shut up, but it sounds like it.
Kim Rodriguez: The tooth day. Dan and imm mortally wounded
Kim Rodriguez: this
Kim Rodriguez: and his men carried him to their ship to set sail for home.
Kim Rodriguez: It was his kinsman, who led the expedition to Ireland, seeking revenge.
Kim Rodriguez: It took a long time for the revenge to take place, as the men had trouble finding this place. In the first place.
Kim Rodriguez: that's too many places.
Kim Rodriguez: anyway. The myth says that this is due to Tawafi using magic
Kim Rodriguez: because the Miloseins couldn't fanth them any other explanation. They had made their island invisible
Kim Rodriguez: by the time they landed they claimed the land for themselves.
Kim Rodriguez: so the Towthans insisted it couldn't be conquered. A conquest.
Kim Rodriguez: as they had no armies of their own.
Kim Rodriguez: They claim the rules of war, therefore.
Kim Rodriguez: and
Kim Rodriguez: they claimed the rule of war did not count. However.
Kim Rodriguez: the Miloseins were willing to set sail and find the island again.
Kim Rodriguez: and then the too often would accept their rule.
Skeptic Psychic: Of course Mr. Watson's magic came into play again at the Massilians.
Skeptic Psychic: Had had that set sail when a hurricane bared them down to our boats.
Skeptic Psychic: scattering them and sinking Mini.
Skeptic Psychic: but eventually the remaining Massilians, despite being separated from one another, managed to land their shifts along the different parts of the island
Skeptic Psychic: they now are. They now upset.
Skeptic Psychic: People begin slaying the Tuatin's rulers over the scattered rest of the underground.
Skeptic Psychic: Well, the rest of them scattered underground.
Skeptic Psychic: The kingsmen, 3 brothers, named Ibar, Finn, and Amaron.
Skeptic Psychic: then divided the Ireland between them.
Skeptic Psychic: The Celts
Skeptic Psychic: were descendants of the mills, as it was
Skeptic Psychic: from the tales that the militias told their children, and passed on to their children, and to their children, and so forth, and on and on and on, creating with a rich tapestry. That is the Irish mythos.
Skeptic Psychic: But
Skeptic Psychic: where does that leave St. Patrick?
Skeptic Psychic: Well, those snakes that said there would be the allegory from actual St. Patrick, routing out the old superstitions and bringing Iris Lind
Skeptic Psychic: to the Catholics
Skeptic Psychic: doesn't sound like as a poet, as they say.
Skeptic Psychic: Some priests walking around prophesetizing about God is okay, and all the in images from a man walking out into a pit of snakes lifting the hill
Skeptic Psychic: are lifting his priestly robes high to keep off them clean, and then stopping and smashing of those critters from the earth
Skeptic Psychic: with his own 2 feet, is something that can be either humorous or even brave. If anyone of the storytellers give the snakes poison this spangs, or makes them, and doing as as to the size of an Amazonian and python.
Kim Rodriguez: So
Kim Rodriguez: sorry again. But there were no snake stomp performed on the Irish soil.
Kim Rodriguez: no scaly mass murderer. Historical sites exist.
Kim Rodriguez: but it would be a tourist destination if there was one.
Kim Rodriguez: It was the British who actually gave the Ireland its name.
Kim Rodriguez: basing it off the
Kim Rodriguez: the Gaelic language.
Kim Rodriguez: the name they had for themselves was Aaron
Kim Rodriguez: as an Aaron Gobrah, which roughly translates today as Ireland forever.
Kim Rodriguez: the Irish, perpetually conquered
Kim Rodriguez: couldn't even keep a name for themselves.
Kim Rodriguez: The Irish didn't observe St. Patrick's Day until the tenth century, which was long after Patrick's body had turned to dust.
Kim Rodriguez: There were no parades
Kim Rodriguez: or revelry that the holiday is now known, for
Kim Rodriguez: it was actually the Americans who took the Irish holiday and super sized it as we do everything else here in America.
Kim Rodriguez: There was no one in Ireland dying rivers, green or drinking green beer.
Kim Rodriguez: The whole.
Kim Rodriguez: if you're not wearing green you'll get pitched, is also a hundred percent American.
Kim Rodriguez: because we do love finding ways to torture each other here in America.
Kim Rodriguez: In fact, St. Patrick's color wasn't even green.
Kim Rodriguez: but he wore blue
Kim Rodriguez: as such. When King Henry the Apes declared himself the King of Ireland in 1541
Kim Rodriguez: he made up of coat of arms in solid blue, with a golden harp.
Kim Rodriguez: This can still be found in use on the Irish presidential flag.
Kim Rodriguez: The color green didn't stick until the eighteenth century.
Kim Rodriguez: when the shamrock became seen as a symbol of rebellion for the identity of the Irish.
Kim Rodriguez: the great Irish rebellion of 1641 was shown as a revolt against the English crown.
Kim Rodriguez: so they waved green flags with a golden harp. As a sign of their defiance of the English rule.
Kim Rodriguez: They trotted green out again during the Irish rebellion of 1798, as they sang
Kim Rodriguez: The Wearing of Green.
Kim Rodriguez: an Irish Street ballad, limiting to their own people to come out and support the rebellion by wearing something green.
Kim Rodriguez: Since that time
Kim Rodriguez: Ireland and the color green have been
Kim Rodriguez: linked irrevocably.
Skeptic Psychic: Now the Association of Referecons can firmly be laid at Walt Disney.
Skeptic Psychic: See? Walt Disney was well received in the 1959 classic movie Darby O'gier and the Little People.
Kim Rodriguez: I love that movie that's such a good one. A young Sean Connery.
Skeptic Psychic: Yes.
Kim Rodriguez: Trying to sing.
Skeptic Psychic: And the mythos of spending St. Patrick Patrick's Day doubting massive amounts of beer as St. Patrick was preaching for the Catholics. Why wouldn't they be drinking beer in the middle of a Lent?
Skeptic Psychic: Don't Miss Catholics give up beer for lit? Well, celebrating St. Patrick was seen as a break from whatever you're trying to do.
Skeptic Psychic: fasting, or whatever.
Skeptic Psychic: though the nations and downs a lot of pints for the holiday, the Irish appear to enjoy whisky more than ale.
Skeptic Psychic: as most aren't. Down with the pub, anyway.
Skeptic Psychic: as if St. Patrick's Day, as seen as days to spend with family.
Skeptic Psychic: It is a day of prayer and reflection.
Skeptic Psychic: It but then, of course, for we Americans again.
Skeptic Psychic: are Americanized Irish immigrants who had turned it into a wild party seen to become here.
Skeptic Psychic: There are really. Aren't Irish eating corn, beef and cabbage bangers and mash for the holiday, either.
Skeptic Psychic: As it was a family gathering, a pork roast would usually carved out in the meat of the day.
Kim Rodriguez: Sorry my computer is acting up
Kim Rodriguez: now, is there anything we know that is to be true about this holiday?
Kim Rodriguez: Well, we know the use of the the shamrock in Patrick's teachings is true.
Kim Rodriguez: and when you come across stainless glassworks
Kim Rodriguez: or illustrations of him.
Kim Rodriguez: there is usually a shamrock held in his hand.
Kim Rodriguez: It's not a hundred percent proven, as records of Patrick's death have been found to have been written much later.
Kim Rodriguez: but March seventeenth is agreed by all to be the day of his death.
Kim Rodriguez: even if the year is in question.
Kim Rodriguez: One such document claims that Patrick died at the age of a hundred 20,
Kim Rodriguez: but most callers believe he was
Kim Rodriguez: far, much younger than that
Kim Rodriguez: that does make sense. As exact date and year of his birth is also debated by scholars.
Kim Rodriguez: so you know. Why wouldn't it be that his death is
Kim Rodriguez: argued as well?
Kim Rodriguez: Now we do know that Patrick existed, and that he died in the Irish town
Kim Rodriguez: of Down and Downpatrick, Northern Ireland.
Kim Rodriguez: and there is a large boulder that covers the place where his body is supposed to rest.
Kim Rodriguez: and this is on top of the local heel.
Kim Rodriguez: however, the boulder is a newer stone that was placed in the early 19 hundreds.
Kim Rodriguez: as too many pilgrims that visited the site were removing soil from the Holy
Kim Rodriguez: from this holy site to carry as relics.
Kim Rodriguez: The zone is simply carved with a Celtic cross, and the name Patrick.
Kim Rodriguez: There is an older Celtic cross at the Stu, at the site that dates back to the Tenth Century
Kim Rodriguez: Memorial plaques
Kim Rodriguez: citing who Patrick was, and his importance to the Irish people can be seen at a nearby cathedral
Kim Rodriguez: that was dedicated to the saint, and it was erected in the twelfth century.
Kim Rodriguez: This cathedral still stands today
Kim Rodriguez: at the bottom of the hill you can find the St. Patrick's center.
Kim Rodriguez: This is the only permanent exhibit in the world dedicated to its most faithful saint.
Kim Rodriguez: The hailed apostle of Ireland is still prevailed today for the Irish Catholics. Wherever you find them.
Kim Rodriguez: The holiday again in Ireland is a day of remembrance, and pilgrid's
Kim Rodriguez: pilgrimages are still made.
Skeptic Psychic: So there are no leprosy in the story, no monstrous snake seeking out the righteous to devour. Ireland's great today is the beauty and the coming of springtime.
Skeptic Psychic: as we all
Skeptic Psychic: fairly certain that no one is tipping a ha!
Skeptic Psychic: A hat to one another, saying, top of the Bonata.
Skeptic Psychic: and if you're really implying here the shout a greeting to the Irishman you meet.
Skeptic Psychic: remember that it's St. Patty's Day spelled with a double d. And not decided for merely Patty PATT. Y.
Skeptic Psychic: It is made for him to correct you so that way the Ireland, instead of find
Skeptic Psychic: and do it for Ireland instead.
