Okay, I mixed up The Dream of Maxen and The Dream of Rhonabwy — easy mistake.
One’s a mythic honeymoon.
The other’s a beautiful, empty nightmare.
Rhonabwy dreams of Arthur… who’s just playing chess while messengers beg him to act.
It’s Tywin Lannister energy.
Cold. Regal. Absolutely useless.
And screw it — you try pronouncing Gwalchmei.

fashion yourself a girdle of gold hair
and ash that is woven tight and
strung so that it may impair
your second secund.

Makes you wonder how early we equated wealth with power — or more precisely, how tools of wealth (horses, land, mobility) became stand-ins for authority itself.
Maybe the myth is reminding us: kingship isn't innate. It's just someone who used to ride.

Just realized that the First Branch of the Mabinogi starts with Pwyll and Arawn doing some ancient version of Freaky Friday.
Arawn says: “You’ll rule my kingdom, sleep beside my wife, and wear my face for a year.”
Pwyll: “Seems legit.”
Mythic body-swapping, divine trust exercises, and magical honor codes — glad to know Lindsay Lohan has a clear mythological ancestor.
