A Blue Moon & a Micro Full Moon on the same night: returning twice, & still keeping its distance. In Welsh mythology, the moon was never just a light in the sky. Tonight, that feels very near.
Drop a moon emoji in the thread if you caught sight of it 🌕

Happy #FolkloreFriday 🌿
In Welsh folklore, the Cyhyraeth is a disembodied wailing cry heard before death or disaster, a moan carried on the wind that no living throat could make. She doesn't appear, she doesn't linger, she simply passes through the dark and leaves a cold certainty behind. Some say she was heard before shipwrecks along the Welsh coast, her voice rolling in ahead of the waves. Not every warning comes in time to matter. 🌊
Somewhere beneath Cardigan Bay, the bells are still ringing. Cantre'r Gwaelod, the drowned kingdom of Welsh legend, was a fertile land protected from the sea by great sluice gates. One night, the gates were left open, and the sea swallowed everything whole. On quiet evenings, so the story goes, you can still hear the bells of its sunken churches calling out beneath the waves. Some losses echo for a very long time. 🔔

The Gwragedd Annwn are Welsh lake maidens. Women of the Otherworld. Beautiful, gentle, dangerous to lose.
They rise from hidden lakes. Marry mortal men. Teach healing secrets. Then vanish if sacred promises are broken.
Perhaps they became the first Lady of the Lake. 🌿✨
