#FolkloreSunday #Celtic: Hares were sent by the dwellers in the hill to warn mortals if they trespassed too closely into forbidden places, or sought to damage or destroy the old mounds. So if you happen to be in the wild places of Ireland when the moon waxes full above and see a hare looking at you steadily from the tall grass, look out! Source:

#FolkloreSunday #Celtic: #Ceridwen represents the human subconscious as a water goddess. The legend of Ceridwen teaches us that one must dive deep into the realms of the subconscious before the doors of true creativity are opened to one. She is associated with the colour silver and the star of the moon, as well as the symbols of the cauldron, boat and ear of grain. Which of her manifestations and symbols she chooses to appear to the willing is her decision and cannot be predetermined. Source: Murray Hope Magic and Mythology of the #Celts
