Morgan Sheppard (1037 KP) created a post

Dec 22, 2025  
❄️ As December draws in and the world turns quiet, Sealed with a Curse invites you into a kingdom shaped by loss, grief, and the dangerous touch of divine magic.

Once, Selene walked the halls of Melthkior as a companion to its Princes. Now, she endures their cruelty as a swan herder—alone but for her beloved swans and the kindness of the kitchen folk. When the gods intervene and a terrible curse strikes the six Princes, Selene faces an impossible choice: help those who hurt her… or leave them to their fate.

A haunting, emotional fairytale retelling woven with Welsh mythology, perfect for reflective winter reading. 🦢✨

It's #FolkloreFriday 🍂

This week’s focus explores the traditional Welsh folklore of the crossroads (Yr Ysbryd ar y Groesffordd). In the old stories, a crossroads was treated as a powerful ecological and spiritual threshold; it was understood that spirits gathered at these junctions precisely because they existed outside the ordinary boundaries of the landscape.

Welsh folk beliefs treated these spaces with an immense seriousness; lingering at a crossroads after twilight was considered a direct transgression against the unseen inhabitants of the land. The old ways reminded us that when we stand at a turning point, we are never entirely alone; the geography itself holds the memory of everyone who has crossed there before us. ⛰️

It's #FolkloreFriday 🦉

This week’s focus explores the traditional Welsh folklore of the corpse bird (Aderyn y Corff). In the old stories, certain nocturnal birds were treated as vital ecological and spiritual indicators; it was understood that their behaviour changed precisely when the veil over the landscape grew thin.

Welsh folk beliefs approached these messengers with an immense seriousness; the sound of an owl near a sickbed was treated as an authentic call to presence rather than a simple superstition. The old ways reminded us that nature remains deeply connected to our personal transitions; the creatures of the dark are often the ones tasked with guiding us through the invisible thresholds of the year. ⛰️

"A dirty sexy rock & roll track from the future: that was my concept of it when I first heard it. At the time when he wrote it, it sounded pretty far out from anything he had written before. So, the challenge was finding an approach that would fit with the other songs we'd be doing. He'd write on a 12-string guitar mainly, so it always had a little bit of a folky element to it. It would sound like it came from a folk singer, but we knew it wasn't going to come out like a folk song so we would have to figure out how to break it down into a rock & roll context. Those are the things that would go through our heads as a band, and that one was, lyrically, summing up the whole Ziggy thing. You know: 'I'm an alien' and just the atmosphere around it. And when Mick Ronson did his solo on it, that was a new kind of solo. I think he used an echoplex thing, where it sort of went round on a tape machine and kept going and going and then he played on top of it – and it was pretty freaky! Pretty far out to play along with! The whole thing sounded as big as the universe while you were playing, but you had to keep grounded, keep that solid beat going and not be affected. Then when we heard it back it was like 'wow!' It went to the stars, but we still had our feet on the ground."
