HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY, my subjects!
A little fennec flits from leaf to leaf, sneaking up on the unsuspecting to cause magical mischief. But if he can be caught, that magic can be wielded by the catcher in exchange for his release. Be wary, the fae are out tonight, dancing upon the toadstools.
For those of you who are going out tonight, be safe! Have a designated driver, and be aware that perhaps others on the road are not being as responsible.
On a side note, I've lately really come to appreciate OG British folklore. Shakespeare, and King Arthur are rife with them, mysterious and whimsical. Despite the positive magical veneer presented by Disney's Tinkerbell, fairy lore is actually pretty dark. There's a lot more depth there than one might think.

A very lovely fairy indeed!
Also if you're interested in British folklore, as a Welsh person, I would love to suggest the Mabinogion. Though the original stories were written around 1000 years ago in Welsh, they have been preserved and translated into many languages for many to enjoy. It's a proud part of our culture I wish more people knew about and hope it piques your interest. Thank you ❤

Indeed! Is this a book or should I youtube it, etc?
But yes, it seems like... when people think of myths and legends and fairy stories, society's attention always goes to the Greeks and then Egyptians, and then to the Norse... but there is rich folklore from other places too. And the old-world druidic nature-spiritual vibe of the old pre-Christianization legends resonate with me. I'm not saying I believe in them, I just think they're cool.

It's a compilation of stories. Youtube is probably your best bet and there's a few good readings on there too. I found one channel called David Reid Audiobooks where some of the stories have been broken down into 15-20 minute long videos and they were good. He speaks with a soft Welsh accent and more importantly pronounces the Welsh words properly so I'd listen to those <3
I agree with you there as well. There are so many interpretations of Greek and Egyptian mythology nowadays, those cultures have certainly had a great influence on the world. I suppose it's a triumph that we know so much about these long lost cultures. It's beautiful that they aren't forgotten. With the Celtic mythology, we're definitely far behind in terms of representation in popular culture but I find it heartwarming that people do want learn about it. People like you!
I'd like to leave you with one final thing. You said you felt like those old Celtic druidic legends resonated with you more. Do you like The Lord of the Rings? If so, the Elvish language used there was based on Welsh and Tolkien had a great love for our language and culture. In a lecture, he once described it saying "for many of us it rings a bell, or rather it stirs deep harp-strings in our nature." I'm sorry if I've infodumped a little bit but I really felt like you were describing a similar sort of feeling here and I thought there was a certain poetry to it. Thanks for reading and engaging with me~
