It's #FolkloreFriday 🔥

This week’s focus explores the traditional Welsh folklore of the hearth spirit (Yr Ysbryd Llawr). In the old stories, the domestic fireplace was treated as a vital, active boundary; it was believed that the ancestors remained closely tied to the stone floor of the cottage to offer protection against the wild winter elements.

Welsh folk beliefs approached these domestic spirits with an immense, quiet seriousness; keeping a clean hearth and a respectful silence at bedtime was considered an authentic duty to the household. The old ways reminded us that history is not just found in books or ancient monuments; it lives quietly in the stone foundations of the places we inhabit every day. ⛰️

It's #FolkloreFriday 🐦‍⬛

This week’s focus explores the traditional Welsh folklore of the raven (Brân) at the start of the winter month of Tachwedd. In the old stories, the raven was treated as a vital ecological and mythic indicator; it was believed that these birds held the ancient memory of the land itself, acting as guardians of the ancestral soil.

Welsh folk beliefs approached the raven with an immense, quiet seriousness; harming one was considered a direct insult to the old protections that kept the valleys safe. The old ways reminded us that true strength is quiet and unyielding; the creatures that stay with us through the dark months are the ones that teach us how to survive. ⛰️
