1. Animal Symbolism In Celtic Mythology Overview article by Lars Nood©n, discussing the tie between animals in Celtic and welsh mythology with fertility and vitality. http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lars/rel375.html

Animal Symbolism in Celtic Mythology A paper for Religion 375 at the University of Michigan by Lars Noodén, 22 November 1992 Animals in Celtic and Welsh mythology are tied in with fertility and vitality, because they are living, moving, and growing. They also provide vitality and continued life for the tribes through their meat, skins, and bones. In addition, they are a connection to the realm of spirits and the gods. This connection is seen through their use in the hunt, search for secrets and wisdom. Specific animals have specific associations depending on the characteristics of the type of animal. Birds, fish, serpents, deer, cattle, swine, and so on all tend to be used as symbols. Boars fishes serpents birds , and herd animals are the most frequently described. In addition to representing fertility and wealth, boars symbolize courage and strong warriors MacCulloch , 356) for they are strong, dangerous, and very hard to kill. Their appearance in dreams and visions also indicates warriors. Isolt's forewarning of the death of Tristan, a great warrior, came in a dream about the death of a great boar

8. A Welsh Myth Concordance A Welsh Myth Concordance. by Mike Nichols of variant sources (both published and oral) ever attempted as a continuous narrative of welsh mythology. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/7280/welsh.html

A Welsh Myth Concordance by Mike Nichols "Books are words of wisdom spoken by the dead to the living." Welsh proverb The following concordance is based on the four branches of the Welsh "Mabinogi", as retold in the four books by Evangeline Walton: "Prince of Annwn", "The Children of Llyr", "The Song of Rhiannon", and "The Island of the Mighty". Unfortunately, the Ballantine editions of these books, which were used in preparing this concordance, are long since out of print. Although later editions have been published, they do not maintain the same pagenation as the Ballantine originals. Therefore, I have not included page number references in this edition of the concordance, although I reserve the right to add them to future editions, if standard editions of the books are published. Walton's original publishing dates span a range from 1936 to 1974. The Evangeline Walton books were selected as the primary texts for this concordance because they, like Lady Gregory's treatment of the Irish myths, represent the most comprehensive synthesis of variant sources (both published and oral) ever attempted as a continuous narrative of Welsh mythology. Although Walton does not list her primary sources, an educated guess would be that the Lady Charlotte Guest edition formed the basis of the works, with supplimentary material drawn from various scholarly sources (most notably on the Welsh Triads).

10. LLew In welsh mythology in particular, there is a startling vindication of the The Welsh myth concludes with Gwydion pursuing the faithless Blodeuwedd http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/7280/LLew.html

THE DEATH OF LLEW A Seasonal Interpretation By Mike Nichols Not of father, nor of mother Was my blood, was my body. I was spellbound by Gwydion, Prime enchanter of the Britons, When he formed me from nine blossoms. Hanes Blodeuwedd , Robert Graves, trans. In most Pagan cultures, the Sun God is seen as split between two rival personalities: the God of Light and his twin, his “weird”, his “other self”, the God of Darkness. They are Gawain and the Green Knight, Gwyn and Gwythyr, Llew and Goronwy, Lugh and Balor, Balan and Balin, the Holly King and the Oak King, etc. Often they are depicted as fighting seasonal battles for the favor of their Goddess/lover, such as Creiddyled or Blodeuwedd, who represents Nature. The God of Light is always born at the winter solstice, and his strength waxes with the lengthening days, until the moment of his greatest power, the summer solstice, the longest day. And, like a look in a mirror, his “shadow self ”, the Lord of Darkness, is born at the summer solstice, and his strength waxes with the lengthening nights until the moment of his greatest power, the winter solstice, the longest night. Indirect evidence supporting this mirror-birth pattern is strongest in the Christianized form of the Pagan myth. Many writers, from Robert Graves to Stewart Farrar, have repeatedly pointed out that Jesus was identified with the Holly King, while John the Baptist was the Oak King. That is why, “of all the trees that are in the wood, the Holly tree bears the crown”. If the birth of Jesus, the “light of the world”, is celebrated at midwinter, Christian folk tradition insists that John the Oak King (the “dark of the world”?) was born (rather than died) at midsummer.
