Here is my understanding:
1. White and red symbolize coming from another world. Asling herself and her red-eyed black wolf have this distinctive feature, as well as the pure white pangur ban. And the opening white swan, whose feathers are used for writing.
2. The name Asling itself is a bit like a feminine symbol of the Irish nation. At the beginning of the film, Asling said that he had seen many things in the eyes of salmon, deer and wolf from a long time ago, symbolizing the development of the whole country. Salmon is a symbol of wisdom in Celtic mythology.
3. The savagery of the Vikings can be seen from the cover of only knowing to seize gold and the Book of Kells.
4. In the end, Asling lost the ability to transform into a human form, and lost the ability to speak, and language is very important in Druids, Druids' previous knowledge was passed down by word of mouth, and the loss of language ability may mean that Druids The decline of teaching.
5. Those who come from another world have special abilities, such as the illusion of asling, and the transformation of pangur ban into a ghost.
6. The forest has always been a place where mysterious events take place in Celtic mythology. Branden must enter it to come into contact with another world.
7. The town has been Christianized, as can be seen from the numerous crosses in the town.
8. The name of the monster is Crom Cruach , and it is also a god in ancient Ireland.
