Love your videos! So informative. Would you consider doing one on daily practices in welsh celtic beliefs? Like practical things that people would do on a regular basis for well-being, protection, or for tradition (and why). I’m in Canada, so do you think those practices would uphold? Thank you!! Keep going
And ingredients for consurio 🥰🥰
This is fun. I am American with a lot of Welsh blood, so much so that when a poetry teacher in Highschool who was Welsh, asked everyone if they knew where their families came from when he came to me he just said, "I know you're Welsh, you look like most women in my family." and he passed me over.
What a wonderful spirit you have shine on Sister
Omg I’m so happy I found you!!!! So helpful. I have welsh lineage and this resonates so much with some information I was looking for ~ sending love !!
I just found your channel and I’m so grateful you exist!!!!! Thank you for SPEAKING THESE TRUTHS ✨
This was really cool. Diolch. Puts a whole new spin on oes gafr eto 😃
Yay! So happy to see you here Jessica! 💘
Its lovely that I've found your channel. I'm Welsh. From wrexham north wales. I've been trying to learn more about our pagan sides and practice as I'm feeling drawn to paganism. However like you said it's always irish or Scottish around. Have subscribed and looking forward to learning more and its lovely to meet you
Mhara, I am quickly falling in love with you! You offer such appropriate content, and with such clear and bold spirit.
I have Welsh ancestry. My name is Crowder. I am given to understand that the Crowder was an instrument played by Welshmen. They were said to be 'playing the crowd', they were Crowders!
I find myself drawn to Welsh mythology although I have years past initiated vis-a-vis D J Conway's Celtic Magic. I look forward to discovering where this path leads me.
thank you for sharing once again
Thank you, loving your vids so far : )
Glad I discovered your channel
Your knowledge is great and really interesting,hopefully we can hear more about your personal spell casting and beliefs 😉
You are a national and world treasure!
Thank you also for helping out w/pronuncuation : )

Ever since I realized I was clairvoyant I see so many house spirits, it confuses the hell out of me because I don’t know what some of them are. I believe the ones that like to follow we around are the house spirit fairies you mentioned or at least like them (sorry I don’t know how to spell their name I’m American) my local witch community are scared of all things fairies and fae so I thought they might be bad but they seem to protect me and my home, whatever they are they love nasty things and animals and I like having them around. I’m glad to now have some sort of understanding of them now so thank you.
Fascinating! I have some questions.
1. What do they all look like?
2. Were you scared when you first saw them?
3. Do they ever interfere / get in the way of / distract you home life?
Best video ever loved it, liove from Australia x
Very interesting !!!! Is it possible that you could write down the names of the Faeries you mentioned in Welsh. Are they mentioned in your book?
Aren't the cool days blessed! Oh yes! I DO believe!! Blessed core of my magic!! Fey!! That's where I'm at!! So grateful for your thoughts on this most precious topic!! Thank you!! Francis
I am absolutely loving your videos, I caught a ban on FB for 30 days for ther stupidest reason, I am canadian born but of Celtic Pagan Welsh Descent and I know for a fact that "Poutine Cheesecurd" & "Furry Canuck" are not hate words...... i am flabbergasted... but I absolutely intend to share all your videos on my fb as soon as i am able... Hugs & Blessed be
What’s your stance on the Corgi being a Faery battle dog ? I think it’s fascinating to learn about. And your take on the Cŵn Annwn and how they inspired the Christians hellhounds?
Little loaves of bread for faery battle dogs omg
I did not believe in fairies - then I saw one riding a hummingbird. My wife saw the samething. I was wondering about oak trees and how they can be used of different rituals.
Ooooh this makes me so happy :D
I feel like you would suit a fringe really well! Random but yes
Rly wish spelling was put up to help me research the names lol but love the video sm regardless! ^^
recommendations and pronouncements AND comparisons to other cultures (irish)? 10/10
Youre awesome!
Grate video thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for this, it was helpful to me, as a writer. My story does not deal exclusively in Welsh folklore, but one of my primary settings is a mine, and I had never heard of the Coblynau. You've given me another avenue to explore/research this "Preptober," and I thank you!
In Slavic folklore (I’m 1/2 South Slav & 1/2 British Isles) our house spirit is the Domovoi. I leave an old shoe (they live in that), honey, bread and salt at my hearth for them. Domovoi Feast Day is coming up: January 28th.
great video
Thank you! Tullwyth Teg.. I always called them twilleth!
northern and southern dialect i think
Well, I confess, My Ancestors were wild Scotts, but my soul is Welsh! The most gorgeous language on earth! Most of my many animals have had Welsh names...right here in Iowa! You should watch an Iowa farmer trying to get his tongue round A Welsh name! Now THAT is funny!
Wonderful, well informative video!
I discovered your channel yesterday and I'm so happy, you're a lovely human being. I found your videos looking for information on Gwydion. He entered my personal pantheon, but I'm struggling to find new information. A lot of places have the same facts and I don't know exactly where to start a connection with Him, althought I already feel the presence guinding me. Do you have any suggestions of books, sites or other channels that I could look for that stuff? Or even your personal view on Him, if possible. In any case, thank you for all the information here, please continue with the work
Hello! Thank you so much for the lovely compliments! 🥰 I will film a video all about Gwydion and all that I know of him, as well as the resources surrounding him, in the next couple of weeks. Thank you for the inspiration!
I found you YAY!!. I follow you on Tiktok, I hate tiktok but I stay for the few people I adore, Like you!!
So I am not a Welsh practitioner more eclectic, but I have always had a very strong connection to the Fae. Even as a small child, maybe I should look into my lineage.
I was wondering about Wicca if it is new or how it relates to paganism/ druidism. I like how you are very informative. I was curious why people say welsh and not just gealic and can you understand all Gaelics languages? I like your positive energy.
Wicca is a fairly new religion which claims to take inspiration from older beliefs! 😊 I’m not Wiccan, so I recommend reading the works of Thorn Mooney, Doreen Valiente, and Janet and Stewart Farrar to learn more on Wicca! Plus Ronald Hutton for a more academic voice.
As for Gaelic - Wales and the Welsh language are not Gaelic. Welsh is a Celtic language, but it is not Gaelic. The Celtic languages fall into two families…Gaelic and Brittonic. Welsh is Brittonic/Brythonic. All Celtic languages are related…but I cannot understand Gaelic languages just because I speak Welsh.
I hope that helps in some way! 💖
@@mharastarling2730 Thank you. wow I learned a lot from you. you have gave me a great history lesson. you are amazing
Diolch yn fawr!
There is the third category of "semi corporeal". The hag could literally be something in between. Im half welsh & half native American by DNA & it is quite interesting at how similar the 2 belief systems are.
I am under the morrigan. I smell like the cave where the cats dwelled. In the trailer it's become a total wreck. What will become of me? You are a sensible wiccan. Bless you and your family.
I saw a fairy once it was in the desert of Mojave and it was riding a hummingbird in the middle of the night. Do you know which fairy this was?
try a shamanic meditation . it could have been another type of spirit being too. or even try shamanic practitioner and ask them or an deep energy healer
@Maryann Taylor You might be right it could have been anything. I just thought it was a fairy due to a synchronicity of seeing the previews to the Disney movie epic the very next day. Whichever it might be it really did a number on what I pay attention to. I used to be up with today's topics now I spend my time paying attention to the wild life and I'm much more relaxed now.
Please forgive me for commenting of topic. but I have to say you are gorgeous lovely beautiful and amazing...I dont mean to offend or anything but you are gorgeous beautiful..
I need a goat
Yeah, changelings, saddest thing ever. Mostly misunderstood medical conditions not limited to mental or cognitive abilities. Although later most mental conditions were viewed as some form of demonic possession via Christianity. Changelings were stoke sufferers and people with cerebral palsy, survivors of meningitis and a whole lot of other conditions beyond the language and understanding of the times. Essentially, your loved ones would be replaced overnight, not just children, everyone was at risk. The dribbling, drooling fae creature left behind was NOT your loved one and unfortunately, treated as such. Milder mental conditions like adhd led to the popular phrase "away with the fairies" meaning you needed to work harder with them to keep their concentration. Changelings are UNIVERSAL and unbelievably sad.
Dullahans are the most interesting to me but they are of Celtic origin
Diolch yn fawr!
