Okay, I mixed up The Dream of Maxen and The Dream of Rhonabwy — easy mistake.
One’s a mythic honeymoon.
The other’s a beautiful, empty nightmare.Rhonabwy dreams of Arthur… who’s just playing chess while messengers beg him to act.
It’s Tywin Lannister energy.
Cold. Regal. Absolutely useless.And screw it — you try pronouncing Gwalchmei.

Lludd and Llefelys is only 6 pages, but it goes deep:
Castor & Pollux meets Moses & Aaron
Red vs white dragons = spiritual warfare
A scream that causes miscarriages
A sleep-spell thief who steals feasts
Maybe even mythic surveillance
These old myths carry bloodlines of meaning. Wealth, power, fear — all wrapped in story.

Makes you wonder how early we equated wealth with power — or more precisely, how tools of wealth (horses, land, mobility) became stand-ins for authority itself.
Maybe the myth is reminding us: kingship isn't innate. It's just someone who used to ride.

Just realized that the First Branch of the Mabinogi starts with Pwyll and Arawn doing some ancient version of Freaky Friday.
Arawn says: “You’ll rule my kingdom, sleep beside my wife, and wear my face for a year.”
Pwyll: “Seems legit.”Mythic body-swapping, divine trust exercises, and magical honor codes — glad to know Lindsay Lohan has a clear mythological ancestor.

Part of the fun of reading The Mabinogion is confidently pretending I know how to pronounce names like Manawydan, Llwyd, and Pryderi—when in reality, I’m just mumbling fantasy syllables like I’m casting spells.
If it sounds mythic, that’s good enough.
