The Isle of Man is where Gerald Gardner originates, (the Father of Wicca who had a long white beard like Pan and who authored the Witches Bible after the repeal of the Witchcraft Act in the 1950's when he came out of hiding and declared the Ancient Greek Horned Goat God Pan as alive and authored his massive Pagan Witches bible with details of natures energies.)

Wiccans (often called white witches) are usually either Alexandrian followers or Gardnerian (Gerald Gardner) followers and nature lovers. Gardner was a very peaceful person and a nature loving person whose motto and Wiccan Rede is just one simple rule for Wiccans to follow: 'harm no-one' (including never harming yourself.)



The Isle of Man has a 1000 year old Viking style parliamentary body and customs.

The flag of Tynwald, the high court of the Isle of Man, has a Viking ship on it. The Tynwald (Manx: Tinvaal), or more formally, the High Court of Tynwald (Manx: Ard-whaiyl Tinvaal) is the legislature of the Isle of Man.

It is claimed to be the oldest continuous parliamentary body in the world, consisting of two Houses:
the directly elected House of Keys and the indirectly chosen Legislative Council.

The Isle of Man's flag is unusual.

Isle of Man



Large international motorbike racing events are held on the beautiful island.



Historians, architectural experts, archeologists, linguist experts, DNA experts, teams of anthropologists, etc, conducted the largest ever research across the British Isles and Normandy in the BBC documentary The Blood Of The Vikings.
People in the Isle of Man were also tested for their DNA in this 5-part documentary.



Steam trains are still preserved on the island and some steam train trains are still operating in parts of England (named after Engel Land - Land of the Engels (Engel means Angle in Old German, although the modern translation of the word Engel in Germany and Denmark is Angel) - since the Germanic Angles and Saxons came from Germany with the Angles settling in the north of England and the Saxons settling in the south, and the Jutes from Northern Denmark settled along the central southern coastal area of Engel-land.

Then the Viking-descent Norman conquest happened later, along with Viking Danes conquering half of England who were kept under the Danelaw and given heavy taxes, and also the Pagan Viking Norwegians did the first ever Viking raid in history and a strong religious attack when they launched their wrath and raided the newly christianised holy island of Lindisfarne (throwing the blood of slaughtered church priests around the churches on the small north-east English island,) and they took gold and items during the raids in order to fund their defences against the holy wars that were launched on Pagan Scandinavia by the judeo-christians.

There's no records of Viking raids ever happening prior to the holy wars launched on Pagan Scandinavia and Lindisfarne was where the first ever Viking raid took place. The Vikings also settled in areas of England as well as in other parts of the British Isles, such as on the Isle of Man. You can see a lot of bent coins in Danish museums which was known as 'Dane-gold' or 'money for the Danes' which they took when they raided the British Islands and taxed people. They'd bend the coins they took to test the quality of the metal.

Steam trains also operate in parts of Scotland and Wales too.

This is a cultural museum in Castletown on the Isle of Man:

The Manx people have the worlds oldest parliamentary system with a Viking flag for their parliament and Viking cultural festivals are held on the island, like with the Orkney Isles, the Shetland Isles and in Yorkshire... since the City of York was once the capital of England and they have large Viking cultural festivals there too. (The city was named as Jorvick ('Yor-vik') by the Vikings and it was later shortened to York. York also has a Viking museum and a cultural learning centre there too called the Jorvik Viking Centre. )

Celtic Cornwall has a great Witchcraft Museum in Boscastle and Celtic Pagans like to gather at one of the tens of thousands of ancient sacred stone circles across the British Isles, such as Stonehenge during the equinoxes and solstices. I think Manx people are also proud of their ancient Pagan history and roots and they like to celebrate their ancient culture with Viking festivals on the island.

They also celebrate their Celtic heritage too. The Isle of Man, Cornwall, Wales, Scotland, Brittany and the Republic of Eire are the 6 official Celtic nations where Celtic languages are spoken as shown on Wiki and on the Celtic flag.

The Celtic nations flag shows the flags of the 6 official Celtic nations:

'The Manx (Manx: Ny Manninee) are an ethnic group originating from the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea in northern Europe. They are primarily a Celtic people, though with significant Norse and English influences.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_people

'The Isle of Man (/ˈmæn/; Manx: Ellan Vannin [ˈɛlʲən ˈvanɪn]), otherwise known simply as Mann (Manx: Mannin, IPA: [ˈmanɪn]), is a self-governing British Crown dependency located in the Irish Sea between the islands of Great Britain and Ireland. The head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, who holds the title of Lord of Mann. The Lord of Mann is represented by a Lieutenant Governor, but its foreign relations and defence are the responsibility of the British Government.

The island has been inhabited by humans since before 6500 BC. Gaelic cultural influence began in the 5th century AD, and the Manx language, a branch of the Gaelic languages, gradually emerged. In 627, Edwin of Northumbria conquered the Isle of Man along with most of Mercia. In the 9th century, the Norse began to settle there. Norse people from Scotland then established the Kingdom of the Isles. The King's title would then carry the suffix, "and the Isles".

Magnus III, the King of Norway, was also known as "King of Mann and the Isles" as part of the Hebrides civilization between 1099 and 1103. A Norse-Gaelic culture arose and the island came under Norse control. In 1266, the island became part of Scotland, as formalised by the Treaty of Perth.

After a period of alternating rule by the kings of Scotland and England, the island came under the feudal lordship of the English Crown in 1399. The lordship revested into the British Crown in 1765, but the island never became part of the Kingdom of Great Britain or its successor the United Kingdom, retaining its status as an internally self-governing Crown dependency.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man

Manx people are very superstitious and greet the fairies.

I want to know more about the Manx nation.

What are they? I heard they descend from Gaelic people who came there from Ireland or Scotland. Where there people there before they arrived?

I dunno but the. (we) Ulster Irish are related. I might be mistaken but I don't Ulster Irish is pure Irish Gaelic dialect I think it has significant infusions from Scottish Gaelic and Manx. Hmmm, if I had to guess I would the original Manx would be very similar or the same to Neolithic-Mesolithic native Britons who built stone-henge.I dunno, though I am not scholar on the subject.
