Monday, Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

Once again, it's technically Monday now -- past midnight Eastern time -- and here I am on Dreamwidth, so it's time for another Magic Monday.  Ask me anything about occultism and I'll do my best to answer it. Any question received by midnight Monday Eastern time will get an answer, though it may be Tuesday sometime before I get to them all.

With that said, have at it!

This Magic Monday is now closed to new questions. See you next week!

Re: Welsh gods

[ecosophia]

Let me start by adding to the confusion. How the Welsh "u" is pronounced depends on whether you're talking about northern Wales or southern Wales. In south Wales, the "u" is usually pronounced "ee". In north Wales, it's pronounced more like the German ü; try pursing your lips as though you're about to say "oooooh," and then without changing the shape of your mouth at all, try saying "eeeee" instead. In either case, though, it's not "oooh," so "Hee the Mighty" and "Hesees" are close enough to pass.

There's some material on the old Druid Revival gods in Ross Nichols' The Book of Druidry, and some in Lewis Spence's The Mysteries of Britain -- both classic works of Druid Revival teaching.

Whoa, I'm glad this question was asked - seems I've been mispronouncing them since I started!

How can I make amends, or do I need to?

Don't worry about it. They seem to be pretty mellow.
