A glossary of sorts
Jan. 31st, 2017 12:08 amI thought rather than write on one topic tonight, I’d post the beginnings of a glossary some of the people, places, beings and ideas that have shaped Welsh history, culture and folklore.
As will be apparent from my postings so far, I’m not limiting this blog to folklore or the supernatural because I believe such a distinction is artificial and, to some extent, downright unhelpful. Welsh history and culture has been influenced every bit as much by supernatural as natural phenomena, otherworldly beings as people of this world, and I hope to reflect some of that diversity in future posts.
Here, then, is the first part of the glossary. I fully expect it to grow with subsequent postings and I will try to post a cumulative update from time to time. The glossary will follow the order of the Welsh alphabet[1]. The rest of the blog will not necessarily mirror this glossary (there will be entries here that are not mentioned in the blog) but I hope to include here every person, place, idea or being that I do mention in the posts.
