It's #FolkloreFriday 🌊

This week’s focus explores the traditional Welsh folklore of the river washer (Y Golchwraig). In the old stories, remote waterways were treated as highly active liminal boundaries; it was believed that certain spirits were bound permanently to the streams to act as keepers of ancestral memory.

Welsh folk beliefs approached these water spirits with an immense, quiet seriousness; passing a mountain brook after dark required a deliberate step and a respectful silence. The old ways reminded us that nature does not easily forget the lives that have touched it; the rivers we cross every day are carrying more than just the autumn rain. ⛰️
