"...We built a line
of fires across the hills, hiding
the bog poets, extraordinarily gifted
idiot savants who rippled into
that invasion of sensibility..."

#MythologyMonday Shapeshifter Pwyll spent a year masquerading as Arawn, King of the Underworld. During that time Pwyll maintained a chaste relationship with Arawn's wife, never sharing so much as a kiss. The King was so impressed by this behaviour, the men became close friends. #Mabinogion

Please do wishlist Tales from the #Mabinogion! This might be the most prominent Welsh mythology-inspired game on the horizon that I can think of.

Just dropped two full reviews over on Fable:
📖 The Brothers Karamazov — messy, philosophical, full of gossip and grace
🐉 The Mabinogion — surreal, unyielding, dreamlike myth before myth made senseIf you're into books that punch through time, hit me up here:

How Culhwch Won Olwen is like if Perseus, Achilles, and Hercules merged into one guy — and then outsourced all their quests to King Arthur.
Culhwch does nothing. Arthur assembles the mythic Avengers.
Tasks include:
Fighting a giant boar with scissors in its ears
Rescuing a demigod from time itself
Borrowing a barber
Peak mythic sidequest energy.

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.

Well, considering I spent the last 6 days in a crisis center, I got the opportunity to catch up on my Mabinogion readings.
While trapped in my own Winterfell crypt, I read The Dream of Macsen — and I swear GRRM has read it front to back.
Roman emperor dreams a woman into power
Marries her
Her brothers get roads and kingdoms
Seven years pass like a spellIt’s Lannister-coded as hell.
Tywin would’ve built those roads himself.#Mabinogion #Mythology #Arthurian #GameOfThrones #CelticLore

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.

Check out David Lightbringer’s video where he dives into Bran lore and its deep connections to Game of Thrones, Bran the Broken, and the Nightfort.
David’s always worth highlighting — his myth analysis is 🔥

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.
-
Reading about Peredur in the introduction and just now realizing:
This is where the Fisher King myth comes from.A wounded king. A cursed land. A missing question.
Brân the Blessed: hurt through the thighs, bound to the land, keeper of a sacred cauldron.I can see what George R.R. Martin was reaching for with Bran Stark.
The mythic echoes are there.
But when the time came, the arc didn’t land — no redemption, no Grail. -
Reading The Mabinogion:
“The hero travels to a strange land to retrieve a cauldron… or a woman.”
Me, immediately:
Ian McKellen in The Da Vinci Code whispering:
“Look at the negative space between them. What do we see?
A cup.”It’s not my fault. That’s just how my brain mythologizes.
-
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.
