La femme celte

I'm blogging today about the myth of the Celtic Woman, over on Charles Stross' blog, for those who are interested. Comments are down there, at present, due to spambots, but you can comment here, if you're interested.

Skirt of the day: red and gold silk wrap.

>Peoples who speak related languages, even mutually comprehensible ones, often differ quite noticeably from each other in culture.

Downtown Swansea on a Saturday night; the Bell, Skenfrith, Saturday night. I rest your case.

I'm glad I live now, is all I can say.

Extremely interesting article - thank you.

Oh, me too.
I do not like the sound of mediaeval plumbing, not one bit!

Great article! I'm wondering how it would go down in Glastonbury though :)

K has given a talk on this to 200 Druids. Used to Ronald H beating them over the head with historical accuracy, they took it well.

They were very decent about it, last time!
I *do* have an alternate persona (she's called Gail) who believes in Celtic Druidical Princesses and fairies and says things like 'your aura is all tingly!' who I keep mainly for Glastonbury and winding up certain Witchcraft shop male owners...
