[Tales from the Mabinogion @MabinogionGame]

#folklorethursday
The seas, forest and skies of the Mabinogion are more than mere settings. They are mysterious and transformative, enchanted realms full of magic and power, symbols of the thresholds between our world and the mystical Otherworld.

When Bran the Blessed leads an army across the sea to rescue his sister, Branwen, the voyage symbolises the transition from peace to conflict, a crossing into a land of dark magic and danger. When Pwyll encounters Arawn, Lord of the Otherworld, the forest serves as a mystical gateway where fate and identity become altered. And when Lleu Llaw Gyffes transforms into an eagle, and soars into flight after being wounded, the sky becomes a refuge, a symbol of his resilience and divine connection.

These tales remind us that in the Mabinogion, the natural world is itself a living, breathing force, a part of the journey and transformation that each character undertakes.

In Finnish mythology, the northern lights are created by the Arctic Fox. The cold night sky is illuminated by magical sparks from the tail of the fox as it gallops across the snow-covered mountains.

Natural depressions on the 6m tall menhir of La Pierre aux Fées on the edge of the forest in Silly-en-Gouffern (Orne) were imprints of the hands of the fairies who erected it and on moonless nights a white hare came and sat by it but disappeared before dawn. #FolkloreThursday.

In the Hebrides, the forlorn and lonely songs of seals were transcribed and used as folk tunes... #FolkloreThursday 🎨John Duncan

Slavic myth: Leshy, the old man of the forest, plays tricks but can be treacherous. Often heard laughing or whistling but rarely seen, as he lures children into his forest. He’s as tall as the trees but shrinks to grass size outside it. #FolkloreThursday
