A strange, beautiful journey. I’m glad I walked it.

The horse — just out of reach — becomes a symbol of lost sovereignty.
Maybe power was never divine. Just someone who used to ride.

All I can hear is Ian McKellen in The Da Vinci Code whispering:
“Look at the negative space. What do we see? A cup.”

Reading The Mabinogion like I know how to pronounce Manawydan, Llwyd, or Pryderi.
I don’t. But I say them with confidence.
Like a man casting spells and hoping they land.

Rhiannon in Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed really said:
“Let me humiliate this man in a magic bag so I can marry the other one.”
Welsh myth doesn’t play.

The Mabinogion has the chaotic energy of a bard on mushrooms, dared to out-weird both Homer & Gygax. Culhwch and Olwen is 90% side-quest, 10% demon-boar, 100% “what the hell did I just read?”

Pwyll, a young prince of Dyfed, met Arawn, King of the otherworld Annwn, and his hounds while hunting near the river Cych. Pwyll angered Arawn by stealing a deer his hounds were eating and was made to atone by disguising himself as Arawn and defeating his rival Hafgan.

From the fairytale 'the wooing of Olwen' - excerpt: 'So Olwen came, clothed in a robe of flame-coloured silk, and with a collar of ruddy gold, in which were emeralds and rubies, about her neck. More golden was her hair than the flower of the broom, and her skin was whiter than the foam of the wave, and fairer were her hands and her fingers than the blossoms of the wood anemone amidst the spray of the meadow fountain. Brighter were her glances than those of a falcon; her bosom was more snowy than the breast of the white swan, her cheek redder than the reddest roses. Whoso beheld was filled with her love. Four white trefoils sprang up wherever she trod, and therefore was she called Olwen.'
'So Olwen Came' based on an excerpt from the Welsh Fairytale (see alt for the excerpt!)
I really want to revisit this, it's been 9 years since I made it and I have new ideas and a newfound interest in historical costuming... #fairytale #watercolour #olwen #welshmyth
Text of a poem: Blodeuwedd, by Math Jones. Text is too long for alt text, but a link to an audio file on SoundCloud is in the comments.
Reading "Blodeuwedd" recently, by @ynysafallon.bsky.social, and feeling a bit flower-faced myself...
Sharing this, my poem, Blodeuwedd, for the woman made of flowers.
First published in Sabrina Bridge, 2017, from Black Pear Press.
