It's #FolkloreFriday 🐱

This week's folklore Friday explores the cat in Celtic and Welsh mythology — a creature the tradition never quite trusted to be simply domestic.

The Cath Palug of Welsh legend began as an ordinary kitten and grew into a creature of monstrous destructive power, which reflects something the broader Celtic tradition understood instinctively about cats. They were threshold guardians, Otherworld creatures that chose to sit beside human fires without ever fully relinquishing where they'd come from. They watched things invisible to everyone else. They knew things by means that didn't bear close examination.

The Celtic animal month of the Cat is running alongside the tree month of Holly right now — both of them quietly liminal, both of them more formidable than they first appear.

Happy Folklore Friday! 🌸

Today's figure is one of the most complex and compelling in all of Welsh mythology. Blodeuwedd, whose name means flower face, was created from the blossoms of oak, broom, and meadowsweet by the magicians Math and Gwydion to serve as a wife for Lleu Llaw Gyffes, a man whose mother had cursed him never to take a human woman.

She was never asked. She was made, and given, and expected to be content.

What happened next depends on how you read her. She took a lover, Gronw Pebr, and together they plotted Lleu's death. The plan nearly succeeded. When it failed, Gwydion transformed her into an owl as punishment, condemned to fly only at night, shunned by all other birds. 🦉

Welsh mythology doesn't really give us villains. It gives us people, and Blodeuwedd is perhaps the clearest example of that. She was created without consent to fulfil a function, and she refused it. Whether that reads as betrayal or defiance says rather a lot about the reader.

She's stayed with me for years, and I suspect she always will.

I was given this book by a friend who knows of my love of "fantasy" books and folklore / mythology. This was an absolutely magnificent read that draws you in from the first page and keeps you guessing until the end. Exceedingly well written with characters you can associate with. I have to admit that my favourite part of the book is actually the location of Wales and therefore the folklore given is Welsh. It make such a refreshing change to read about Wales' history and not just Ireland.

Would highly recommend it to simply everyone!!!
