#you shouldn't have removed your fathers head from the white hill Arthur!

I have literally been obsessed with Hypnos the god of sleep in Greek mythology for years, to the point I did an art project based on sleep in art school.

 I have also been obsessed with the relationship he has with his twin brother Thanatos (death) his wife, one of the Charities Pasithea, and his son Morpheus.

The fact that the god of sleep and the goddess of hallucination and relaxation bore the god of dreams is amazing.

The fact that sleep is the twin of death, that they are very similar but very different. That death is a permanent sleep and a permanent step into dreams, which actually links more to the Welsh myth of the afterlife Annwn which is the land of gold and plenty

Tri Thiws ar Ddeg Ynys Prydain | Thirteen Treasures of the Island of Britain Series: 1/13  - Dyrnwyn, the Sword of Rhydderch Hael

The Dyrnwyn ("White-Hilt") is said to be a powerful sword belonging to Rhydderch Hael,[3] one of the Three Generous Men of Britain mentioned in the Welsh Triads. When drawn by a worthy or well-born man, the entire blade would blaze with fire. Rhydderch was never reluctant to hand the weapon to anyone, hence his nickname Hael meaning "the Generous", but the recipients, as soon as they had learned of its peculiar properties, always rejected the sword.

BOD - BARDIC COURSE

I have decided to study the Bardic course of the British Order of Druids just to get some structure into my personal practice.

I will be using this Tumblr as a diary/ journal of the course as I go along.

Historically, a sword identified as Excalibur (Caliburn) was supposedly discovered during the purported exhumation of Arthur's grave at Glastonbury Abbey in 1191.[26] On 6 March 1191, after the Treaty of Messina, either this or another claimed Excalibur was given as a gift of goodwill by the English king Richard I of England (Richard the Lionheart) to his ally Tancred, King of Sicily.[27] It was one of a series of Medieval English symbolic Arthurian acts, such as associating the crown won from the slain Welsh prince Llywelyn ap Gruffudd with the crown of King Arthur

My thoughts get pulled between Hellenic and Cymraeg polytheism constantly, which comes from worshipping two very different pantheons.

But it happens in my life too, like the two jobs I have had this year one has been in Cwmbran (Bran - Welsh) and Swansea/ Abertawe (Swan - Zeus - Hellenic), and my new job that I start in a month is back in Cwmbran.

A coincidence maybe, but it is something I think about.
