Kath Filmer-Davies, Fantasy Fiction and Welsh Myth: Tales of Belonging (St. Martin's Press, 1996) Around the world contemporary fantasy writers such as Susan Cooper and Jane Yolen are drawing more and more on ancient Welsh mythic tales and folklore as the basis of their stories. (See Grey Walker's review of Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising series.) Australian resident Kath Filmer-Davies is a Celtic researcher and twice winner of the Mythopoeic Society's Scholarship Award in Myth and Fantasy Studies. She has courses by mail in Celtic Studies and Arthuriana, and edits The Journal of Myth, Fantasy and Romanticism: Journal of the Mythopoeic Literature Society of Australia. In Fantasy Fiction and Welsh Myth she turns her keen eye on the matter of how Welsh myth is shaped by fantasy writers seeking to create something fresh. Jo Morrison notes in her comparative review of two different translations of The Mabinogion that "grand quests, swords, sorcery, gods, mortals, love, war, and a healthy sense of mystery can all be found in The Mabinogion ." But the author of this book rejects the commonly held theory that the richly detailed epics are why fantasy writers turn to the Welsh myths for inspiration. Instead, she believes their popularity stems from a sense of belonging she sees as inherent in the Welsh people and their myths.

26. Louise Lawrence, The Earth Witch it is a gritty glimpse through the lens of a welsh mythology that is as Instead, this tale is filtered through the sensibility of welsh mythology, http://www.greenmanreview.com/book/book_lawrence_earthwitch.html

Louise Lawrence, The Earth Witch (Harper and Row, 1981; Ace Fantasy, 1986) Sometimes perhaps oftentimes beautiful little books will come to you from almost out of nowhere. Such was the case with this somewhat obscure little gem from author Louise Lawrence, which I picked up for pennies purely by happenstance at a used bookstore, drawn to it by both the title and the cover art. But The Earth Witch is no quiet, unassuming little book; it is a gritty glimpse through the lens of a Welsh mythology that is as turgid and loamy and menacing as a deep wood on All Hallow's Eve. Weighing in at 184 pages (in my paperback version), The Earth Witch In contrast to some fictional works which treat the Welsh mythic cycle (such as Alan Garner's The Owl Service , of which Lawrence's book is reminiscent in both theme and ambience), The Earth Witch The real beauty and genius of The Earth Witch lies in its ability to create a convincingly primal atmosphere that conveys some sense, often missing in mythic re-interpretations, of humankind's lost relationship to the land. This relationship goes much deeper than recent platitudinous New Age visions of charming back-to-natureness and plunges the reader into the murky depths of a very pagan understanding of the urgency, implacability and indifference of the land to human concerns. Lawrence's brooding imagery brilliantly creates, and maintains, a sense of harrowing dread as the tale unfolds to its Hallowe'en climax (eerily recalling Thomas Tryon's

All help is greatly appreciated! Registered User (1/24/03 12:27:31 am) "The Mabinogion" is the one I hear most frequently referred to for Welsh mythology. (One site describes it as "A masterpiece of medieval literature, The Mabinogion is regarded by many as Wales’s greatest contribution to European literature... ). I've always wanted to own the version that Alan Lee illustrated.... My collection leans more to Irish myths, but a couple off of my shelves are: "Celtic Myths and Legends", by T.W. Rolleston. He gives quite a bit of commentary on the history of the Celtic people and how the mythology fits in with what we know or guess at - in addition to relaying some of the actual myths. Another one that references Rhiannon is "Tales of the Celtic Otherworld" by John Matthews. I have really mixed feelings about most of his books - they include alot of commentary that I find suspect from a scholarly point of view, but he usually has really interesting versions of the tales he is discussing.

Email Gwydion Celtic Gods and Heros: Introduction to Celtic Mythology [credits] by John Patrick Parle Youngsters of school age almost effortlessly learn about the gods and heroes of Greek and Roman mythology. Names like Zeus, Hercules, Diana, Ulysses, Mercury, Venus, and others become widely familiar. Paintings, popular movies, and books trace their stories for enjoyment and enrichment. Most people even know something of Germanic mythology from films about the Vikings or the operas of Wagner. Thor, Odin, Siegfried, and the Valkyries are well-known, and in the English language, four of the seven days of the week are named after German gods. Well, a wonderful surprise awaits Americans and others of Irish, Welsh, and Scottish descent. A Celtic mythology of broad dimensions and rich quality exists, recounting the heroic stories of ancestral peoples of some 2,500 years ago. This Celtic mythology has hundreds of characters and is perhaps even more fantastical than Greek and Roman myths. And lovers of ancient stories who are not of Celtic descent will no doubt appreciate the many splendid Celtic myths, which for most are relatively unknown. For a thousand years of antiquity, the Celtic myths were in the domain of an oral tradition, not yet reduced to writing, and told to the members of each generation by bards, the Celtic poets and lyric story-tellers. Then, sometime after 500 A.D., Irish monks and their Welsh counterparts began capturing the Celtic myths of old on parchment and paper. The Irish monks applied the alphabet of the Romans to the Irish Gaelic language and diligently recorded the mystical stories of their ancestors in a Celtic tongue. In doing this, according the P.B. Ellis, the Irish Celts created Europe's third oldest literature, behind Greek and Latin.

But Celtic civilization existed in Britain centuries before the Latins' arrival, and before the Celts, societies existed in Britain sophisticated enough to build Stonehenge. The mythology of the Celtic Britons harkens back to a time before there was an England (that is, before the invasion of Angles and Saxons brought Germanic-speaking tribes to Great Britain). The Celtic Briton myths are centered mostly in Wales and are written in Welsh, a Celtic language. One can easily speculate that the deities of Welsh mythology once had a broader appeal throughout Britain, as has the mythic Celtic mortal from the region known to us as King Arthur. The pantheon of Welsh gods and goddesses came largely from two mythic families: the Children of Dôn and the Children of Llyr. Dôn was a goddess of the sky, and Llyr was a god of the sea. Charles Squire speaks of a struggle and opposition of these two divine families of the sky and of the sea. He envisages a general conflict of the powers of the sky/light/life versus the sea/darkness/death.

ARTHUR AND MEDIEVAL WELSH MYTHOLOGY Module Director : Dr. Margaret Tilsley Introduction and Course Aims The Arthurian Collection Course Content Bibliography ... Return to Welsh Studies Home Page Introduction and Course Aims This course is a one semester module in Welsh Studies as a Minor and Joint subject within the B.A. Humanities scheme. It seeks to demonstrate the role of myths and legends, particularly those concerning Arthur, in the development of the Welsh identity during the late Middle Ages and early modern period and to explain the entry of Arthur into the European mythological and literary tradition. The importance of Old Celtic mythology in the evolution of these myths is discussed, together with the ways in which that mythology was passed on to subsequent generations. Key Welsh texts such as The Mabinogion are studied in translation, with emphasis on those tales relating to Arthur, and references are also made to other texts such as Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain and Arthurian texts in English and other European languages. The course also addresses the issue of Arthur as a historical personage and the way in which he developed as a myth: for the Welsh in early imaginative literature, for the Normans, the French and other European peoples, for the Tudors in England and also as a myth in modern times, in the Victorian Age and in the present day. Students will be encouraged to interpret the myths in the light of contemporary conditions and circumstances and to account for the continuing importance of medieval myths and legends to the present day.

Welsh Mythology Agrona - The river Aeron, in Wales, is named after this goddess. She is the goddess of strife and of slaughter. Amaethon - He is the son of Don , and god of agriculture. He is responsible for the battle between the underworld deities, led by Arawn , and the Children of Don. His brother Gwydion transformed trees into warriors who helped defeat the underworld deities. Annwn - This is the Welsh underworld. It is ruled by Gwynn ap Nudd , and was at one time ruled by Arawn Arawn - He is the lord of the underworld. When Amaethon stole his dog, war erupted between the underworld gods and the Children of Don . Arawn's underworld forces were defeated when Gwydion created warriors from trees to oppose them. Arawn became friends with Pwyll , with whom he traded places for one year and one day. Pwyll defeated Hafgan , Arawn's rival. Arianrhod - Arianrhod means "silver wheel" which can be interpreted as "the moon." She is a descendant of Don , and sister of Gilfaethwy and Gwydion . When Goewin Math Mathonwy 's footmaiden, was raped by Gilfaethwy, Arianrhod offered her services as a replacement. She immediately fell pregnant as she stepped over Math's rod. She gave birth to a boy and a blob. The boy was named Dylan . Being a sea-being, he returned to sea. The blob was kidnapped by Gwydion. It was hidden in a chest until it became a baby. Arianrhod then gave three geasa to the boy. Unless she named him herself, he would have no name. Unless she armed him, he would bear no arms. He would wed no human woman. She therefore denied him the three passages into manhood. Gwydion raised the boy. One day, when Arianrhod saw the boy killing a bird with one thrown stone, she told him that he was a bright lion with a sure hand. This is the name he took

33. The Legend Of King Arthur Most of the 11 anonymous tales incorporate welsh mythology and folklore and This collection of Welsh Myths has a similar history to the Irish myths, http://www.lyberty.com/encyc/articles/mabinog.html

Y Mabinogion (The Mabinogion) A collection of Welsh prose tales , composed between the second half of the 11th century and the end of the 13th century, but based on older oral tradition . Most of the 11 anonymous tales incorporate Welsh mythology and folklore and deal with the Arthurian legend These stories are preserved in two manuscripts, the White Book of Rhydderch (circa 1300-25) and the Red Book of Hergest (circa 1375-1425) The first English translation was made from the latter in 1838-39 by Lady Charlotte Elizabeth Guest. The meaning of the name Mabinogion, which she adopted as the title, is the subject of debate. It is derived from the group of four related stories that begins the collection, "The Four Branches of the Mabinogi"; of 11th-century composition, they concern the life of Prince Gwri, or Pryderi. This cycle is followed by four independent tales also based on native Welsh lore. The collection concludes with a group of three Arthurian romances, showing Norman-French influence and bearing some relation to the work of the 12th-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes, although originally of Welsh origin. There are eleven stories.

At the period of maximum expansion (fifth-third centuries BC) the Celtic world occupied an area from Ireland and part of Spain in the west to Hungary and Czechoslovakia in the east (but including Galatia in Asia Minor), and from northern Scotland to north Italy and what was formerly Yugoslavia. Mediterranean authors first speak of Keltoi about 500 BC and it is then, or even earlier, that archaeologists can distinguish a certain homogeneity in material culture over much of Europe north of the Alps. From the third century BC, Celtic place-names and personal names endorse this geographical distribution of Celtic peoples.

But Celtic civilization existed in Britain centuries before the Latins' arrival, and before the Celts, societies existed in Britain sophisticated enough to build Stonehenge. The mythology of the Celtic Britons harkens back to a time before there was an England (that is, before the invasion of Angles and Saxons brought Germanic-speaking tribes to Great Britain). The Celtic Briton myths are centered mostly in Wales and are written in Welsh, a Celtic language. One can easily speculate that the deities of Welsh mythology once had a broader appeal throughout Britain, as has the mythic Celtic mortal from the region known to us as King Arthur. The pantheon of Welsh gods and goddesses came largely from two mythic families: the Children of Dôn and the Children of Llyr. Dôn was a goddess of the sky, and Llyr was a god of the sea. Charles Squire speaks of a struggle and opposition of these two divine families of the sky and of the sea. He envisages a general conflict of the powers of the sky/light/life versus the sea/darkness/death. Dôn, like the Irish goddess Danu, was a divine mother image. Among her children were the god Gwydion and the goddess Arianrod, both described further below. Through her husband Beli, Dôn conceived Nudd (sometimes called Lludd), who founded a dynasty of his own. A Welsh Triad (a short descriptive verse) sees Nudd as one of the "three generous heroes of the Isle of Britain." Another Triad sees him as having nearly inexhaustible wealthbeing the owner of 21,000 milch cows. Nudd (or Lludd) was said in myth to have founded London. There he built Caerlud (the Castle of Lludd), which over time came to be called Caerlondon, and finally London. According to tradition, St. Paul's Cathedral in that city is where a temple of Nudd once stood. The son of Nudd was Gwyn, a bold warrior.

Home Site Map Celtic Roman Nordic Quick Guide Llew Llaw Gyffes Llew is seen by many scholars as the Welsh equivalent of Lugh, (which means light) the Irish god of light who is master of all the crafts of men. There are several parallels to his character and Llew, who is also known for his deftness of hand and skill in all things. Llew was the son of Arainhrod, brought up by the bard Gwydion. His mother puts several geises upon him; that he cannot take a mortal wife; cannot bear arms, and cannot have a name. These important rites of passage are overcome with the cunning of Gwydion, who tricks his mother into naming him and supplying him with weapons. Gwydion and Math also create a wife for him out of flowers and nine elements. His new wife Bloddeuwedd soon falls in love with a hunter called Gronwy, and the two set about plotting Llew's death. She tricks Llew into revealing how he can only be killed by standing with one foot in a cauldron placed on a riverbank, with the other foot on a billy goat, at twilight. Blodeuwedd suggests this is impossible and has Llew show her that it is not. At this point Gronwy jumps out from behind a bush and severely wounds Llew with a spear. Llew changes into the form of an eagle and flies away to an ancient oak tree. Gwydion eventually restores him to mortal form, and changes Blodeuwedd into an owl as penance. Cerridwen (Keridwen) Cerridwen can be seen as a form of the dark goddess, associated with wisdom, magic loss and renewal. In Welsh mythology her dwelling place was said to be in the middle of lake Tegid, which is also called lake Bala in Gwynedd Wales. She is the accidental creator of the great bard Taliesin: She gives birth to two children, a daughter called Crearwy who is the most favoured woman in the world, beautiful in every way, and a son Affaggdu who is born malformed and ugly and the dark aspect of her coupling.

GUIDE Welsh Culture From Merlin to Mining, Wales has a culture that is deeply rooted in the myths and legends of the land and has a vibrant and strong industrious identity. The Welsh People Saints and Symbols Literature Music Sport The Welsh People In the National Census of 1991 the total population of Wales was 2,813,500, nearly two thirds of which live in the industrial areas of the southeast around the main cities of Swansea, Cardiff and Newport. The remaining third of the population are found around the smaller coastal towns and scattered throughout the rural interior of the country. When the Welsh economy moved from a poor one of agriculture to a prosperous one of industry the population also moved from the rural heartlands to the coal mining valleys creating closely knit communities and strong working class identities. In the States, the Welsh National Gymanfa Ganu is held every year in Buffalo New York. This celebration of Welsh heritage dates back to 1929 and is the largest in North America.

@import url( http://dedanaan.com/wp-content/themes/aiden/style.css ); DeDanaan Not all who wander are lost. 09 May 2005 Animal Symbolism The theme of the hunt uses animals to pass to and from the realm of magic and the gods in Celtic and Welsh mythology. For example, during the excitement of the hunt, the chosen party pursues an unusually fleet of foot, magical prey out of the world of the mortals and into a place of magic. Other ways to enter the other world are by charm, like the song from magical birds (Ford, 71), or by spell, like the mist descending over land (Ford, 77). Wells, springs, rivers, and earthen mounds are some of the magical places that border with or co-exist in the other world. In these places, magic is much more prevalent and sometimes even time passes differently there. Fertility and continuation of the clan was a major concern of the Celtic and Welsh peoples. Here again, animals figured strongly with fertility in Celtic and Welsh mythology. A prosperous tribe was indicated by healthy, plentiful animals.
