Gwragedd Annwn
on her boat in wales 

Good evening my dear Friends & Followers I have a wonderful tale of an welsh water faerie Gwragedd Annwn. I hope you might stop by to have a good read when you have some time in your busy days..  They legend starts as this my dears ~ Once there was an legend of an submerged town in one of the many lakes in Wales near the Black Mountains. Some have said it was to be the home of Gwragedd Annwn. They say the people of Wales that live near these lakes have seen Towers and rooftops beneath the surface of the water. Plus if your lucky on a beautiful clear sunny day, they can even hear the bells from the towers below the depths of the lake. The tale of the water faerie Gwragedd Annwn is an wonderful story and to many they believe that it is true and is still very much alive today as do I! The Gwragedd Annwn or Gwrageth anoon are the welsh water faeries that live in the beautiful lakes of wales. These water faeries maidens that live on and in these lakes all over wales will occasionally take on an mortal husbands to live with inside their beautiful castle beneath the lake. Well there is one well-known legend that tells of a young man who used to graze his cattle by a small lake near the Black mountains. One day he saw a most enchanting creature rowing gently to and fro in a golden boat on the surface of the lake. He fell deeply in love with her and offered her some of the bread he had brought from home for his midday meal. She answered that the bread was too hard and disappeared into the depths of the lake. The young mans mother gave him some unbaked dough to take with him the next day and he offered this to the faerie of the lake, but when she appeared from the lake, she answered that it was too soft and again disappeared into the depths of the lake. Finally on the third day his mother gave him some lightly baked bread, and after the beautiful Gwragedd Annwn appeared from the lake and tasted the bread it did indeed passed. Suddenly three figures rose from the lake, an old man with a beautiful daughter on either side of him. The girls were identical and the father told the young farmer that he was willing to offer him the daughter with whom he was in love with if he could point her out. Well, the farmer would have given up in despair , but one slightly moved her foot and he; recognized  her slipper, won her hand.

The Faerie Gwragedd Annwn

The water-faerie was given a fine dowry and they lived together happily. However, the young farmer had been warned that he would lose his beautiful wife should he ever strike her three times cause by even the smallest strike. So the farmer thought nothing of that because he would never strike his beautiful wife. But after a few years had went by, it so happened that even though they were indeed blissfully happy; His wife the Gwragedd Annwn had some curious faeries traditions, she might weep at a wedding or laugh and sing at funerals of a child and this eventually led to her loving husband reproving her three times more by a love-tap than a blow, but this was enough in her family's eyes to force her to leave him. She did not forget her sons that she had with the farmer and taught them many secrets of medicine so that they became famous physicians of the mortal world. I hope that you all Enjoyed the tale  of the Faerie of the lake. I hope to bring you more

'THE POISON DRESS'

GOOD AFTERNOON MY DEAR FRIENDS & FOLLOWERS. FOR ANOTHER POST TODAY SINCE I AM ON A ROLL TODAY! I THOUGHT I WOULD BRING YOU ALL THROUGH 

A COUPLE OF URBAN LEGENDS!

THIS CREEP URBAN LEGEND IS ABOUT

'THE POISON DRESS'

THIS IS HOW THE TALE OF THE URBAN LEGEND GOES!

IT SEEMS THAT THE STORY WAS TOLD LAST THANKSGIVING BY

AN COUSIN WHO WORKED IN THE FINE WOMAN'S WEAR AT 

NEIMAN MARCUS IN BEVERLY HILLS. THE COUSIN SAID THAT SINCE 

NEIMAN MARCUS HAS A VERY LENIENT RETURN POLICY, MANY WEALTHY

WOMEN PUT $10,000 DRESSES ON THEIR CHARGE ACCOUNTS, WEAR 

THE EXPENSIVE DRESSES ONLY ONCE, HAVE THEM DRY CLEANED 

AND THEN RETURN THEM TO THE STORE FOR A FULL REFUND.

THIS IS WHEN THE TALE GETS INTERESTING! SOMEONE AT THE

STORE HAD TOLD THE COUSIN WHAT HAD HAPPENED ONE TIME BECAUSE

OF THIS PRACTICE IN THE FINE WOMEN'S WEAR AT NEIMAN MARCUS, 

BEFORE HE EVEN STARTED WORKING THERE! 

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED! ITS SEEMS THAT AFTER A WOMAN RETURNED

A VERY EXPENSIVE DESIGNER DRESS, ANOTHER WOMAN WOULD BUY 

THAT SAME DRESS. HOWEVER, LATER AFTER THE SECOND LADY HAD

BOUGHT THE EXPENSIVE DESIGNER DRESS, SHE HAD BREAK OUT IN A 

HORRIBLE RASH WHILE WEARING THE DRESS.

SO THE NEXT DAY, THE WOMAN WENT TO HER DERMATOLOGIST, TO SEE

WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HER SKIN?

TO HER SURPRISE THE DOCTOR TOLD HER THAT SHE WAS

EXPOSED TO FORMALDEHYDE. SO AT THIS POINT SHE SUED

NEIMAN MARCUS FOR THE DOCTOR BILLS AND THE DRESS. PROBABLY BECAUSE

SHE COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT SHE WAS EXPOSED TO 

FORMALDEHYDE BY JUST WEARING A DESIGNER DRESS. 

IN THIS CASE OF THE POISON DRESS THE LADY DID LIVE! 

HOWEVER, THE STORE DID TRACED THE DRESS BACK TO THE VERY FIRST

WOMAN WHO FINALLY ADMITTED WHAT HAPPENED.

THIS IS WHEN IT GETS CREEPY!

THE FIRST WOMAN WHO HAD THE DRESS SAID THAT, HER MOTHER

WANTED TO BE BURIED IN THAT SAME VERY EXPENSIVE DESIGNER DRESS 

FROM NEIMAN MARCUS IN HOLLYWOOD LA. 

HOWEVER, THE DAUGHTER DIDN'T WANT TO BURY SUCH AN 

EXPENSIVE DRESS, SO SHE GOT IT BACK FORM THE MORTICIAN AFTER 

THE FUNERAL SERVICE AND RETURNED IT TO THE STORE.

THEN THE SECOND LADY WHO HAD BOUGHT THAT SAME DRESS

THAT HER MOTHER WAS DRESSED IN AT THE FUNERAL HOME,

WAS THEN EXPOSED TO THE FORMALDEHYDE THAT SOAKED INTO THE 

FABRIC FROM THE CORPSE OF THE DEAD MOTHER.

~WELL THERE IS A TWIST TO THE TALE~ 

THIS IS AN TRUE STORY BUT NOT AS DRAMATIC AS YOU MIGHT THINK!

IT ENDS UP NOT BEING FROM THE DESIGNER NEIMAN MARCUS 

HOLLYWOOD EXPENSIVE DRESSES BUT, FROM WHAT THE COUSINS 

GIRLFRIENDS SAID WAS THAT HER GRANDMOTHER WOULDN'T LET

HER EVER! BUY DRESSES FROM THE THRIFT SHOPS BECAUSE OF A

WOMAN WHO ACTUALLY DID DIED! FROM FORMALDEHYDE POISON IN

THE FROM OF A SECOND-DRESS.

Yamato-Takeru Japan's Greatest Epic Hero

Yamato-Takeru Japan's~ 
Greatest Epic Hero~

 As I promised my dear Friends & Followers I would do a post on the saga of the Yamato-Takeru; Japanese greatest epic hero. So for today's post I thought today would be a good day for this great Japanese hero. Originally, named was Ousu. He was the younger of twin sons born to the Emperor Keiko and proved his warlike prowess early on when in a fit of rage he killed his older brother Ousu(Yamato-Takeru).  After killing his older brother the Emperor Ousu, Keiko feared for both his life and his throne. Keiko's father had dispatched him first to Izumo and then to Kumaso, in what is now Kumamoto Prefecture, to put down rebellions, hoping that his recalcitrant son would not come back alive. However, his son the young prince was victorious in every campaign, as much by guile as by his military prowess. Much to his Fathers dismay he surpassed everything, even the rebels that his father sent to have him killed. Much of how he was able to surpass his father's rebels was, during that time Kumaso had disguised himself as a maiden servant and managed to gain entrance to the palace where the Lord of Kumaso was hosting a drinking party. Once the Lord and his guests were thoroughly drunk, Ousu/Kumaso shed his female garments, drew his sword and mortally wounded the rebel chief. Then on his deathbed, Lord Kumaso showed his profound respect for his slayer by renaming him Yamato-takeru; meaning 'Brave One of Yamato'. From that point on it was his only name used!

So When Yamato-takeru returned to the court in triumph, Keiko feared his son more than ever. So this time he sent him on an even more perilous mission; to subdue the Emeshi, who were almost certainly Ainu to kill his son or his father thought! However, in the vicinity of what is Today's Tokyo Bay - Before his son when off to the next mission his father sent him out on, his aunt, Yamato-no-hime, the 'Princess of Yamato' who was also the high Priestess of Amaterasu at the Ise Shrine and the guardian of the Mura-Kumo sword, gave the weapon to her nephew, along with some amulets, to help him in his quest. So now armed with a magical, Excalibur - like sword, Yamato-takeru gained a series of important victories in war, one of which came close to fulfilling his father's fondest wish!  In the course of the battle at Sagami,
in what is now Kanagawa Prefecture, his enemy set fire to the open grassland on which it was being fought. As his opponent had managed to kill Yamato-takeru's horse, he had not means of escaping what appeared to be certain death. However, even thought it appeared there was no escaping death, at this critical juncture in the war, the magical sword that was given by the High Priestess Amaterasu 'Princess of Yamato' wielded itself in front of the hero and mowed down the grass that was fueling the fire. Saving the Hero. Which prompted Yamato-takeru to rechristen it to Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi the 'Grass-Mover-Sword' Which in Japanese literature it still bears this name!

Once the fire had stopped burning down in the grass toward the prince he used one of the

magical amulets his aunts had given him to start a blaze burning in the opposite direction, that was toward his enemy and won the battle. Then Yamato-Takeru married Miyazu-hime, a princess with whom he had fallen in love during an earlier expedition. Well it seems that they would have a happen ending to the tale, and the did live happily together for a time, however the hero of japan had one last task to perform; It was to defeat a monster that lived
on a nearby mountain. So ignoring his dear lovely wife's pleas to not take on the
monster, and to take Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi with him, he only brought with him
the magical sword, and claimed that he could vanquish the creature with his own
bare hands and left for the mountains. So as he descended up the mountains
to faced the monster with his magical sword, he actually did, kill the beast, but with
great cost. It seems soon after the great battle of the monster, his final battle
the great hero fell victim to a fatal illness contracted in the course of his struggle of
the battle.  Even thought the hero fell fatal ill after he saved his kingdom, his Queen and
followers carried the dying hero on a litter to the coast, near the city of Otsu,
where like all good Japanese warriors, ancients or modern warriors are brought. He
died soon after writing his own death poem. And shortly after, his death his soul turned
into a beautiful white bird, which flew off to Yamato. It seems that later when his
tomb was opened it was empty showing to his people that that day
it was truly him that flew off as a white bird into the heavens.
I hope that You all will Enjoy the tale of the Yamato-Takeru
Hero of Japan I love you all very much

Jokao Giant

Jokao Giant-

An Iroquois Native Indians before they
turned to the Jokao stone Giants

Good Evening my dear Friends and Followers and welcome to the Jokao Giant of the Iroquois Seneca Native American people.  This Giant was named after the classic cannibal giant in the Traditions and beliefs of the Iroquois Native American Indians.

The Jokao are also known as the Stone coats as theses  enormous humanoids are entirely covered in stone plates for their skin, which holds the secret of their power. They were said to have been engendered  by winter itself or during a particularly severe winter when famine wracked the earth; the people of the northern villages started to eat their neighbors and finally their own families. Some escaped in the end and went to the warm south across the river, however those who remained soon turned into the monsters Jokao Giants of stones that developed the stone coats. One who realized that had gotten as far as the river, but was too frighten to the water. He called for help to a man in a canoe, who gave him hot deer fat to warm him and as soon as he drank it the stone coat fell away and he was free. There are many ceremonies and legends where the Jokao Giant lived in Native American culture. 

I hope that you all Enjoyed the legend of the 

Jokao Gaint of the Iroquois Native American People 

Love you all my dear Friends and Followers
