In some Welsh legends, the little fairies eat poisonous mushrooms and a "fairy butter" found in the crevices of limestone rocks. Fey illusions make the food's appearance and taste more appetizing. More charmingly, fairy gloves are made from foxglove flowers.

In Welsh folklore, King Rhitta was a giant who fashioned a huge cloak out of the beards of all the kings he conquered. When King Arthur received a message from King Rhitta demanding Arthur's beard to patch the cloak, Arthur dueled the giant and forced Rhitta to shave his own beard.
Walter Crane

In Welsh folklore, when King Arthur attacked the first sister of the giant Cribwr, he said his name was "Hot Porridge." When the giantess screamed that she needed help with Hot Porridge, her brother called back from another room that she should just let it cool.

#acrylicpaintnib

rev. queen of pentacles
10 of cups
unwater of earth, manifestation of all stages of the cycle of water.

Following on the page from 18., some new colors have entered the mix.

My question now is, if acrylic paint is one step away from being awkward ink, is a nib therefore the most excellent small round brush? Is a nib the best painting tool for details? Will I make a second pen set reserved for oil paints?

Every May 1 until Judgement Day, the Welsh hero Gwythyr battles Gwyn ap Nudd (king of the dead) for Creiddylad (Gwythyr's kidnapped fiancée). As May 1 is the first day of the Celtic summer, many scholars interpret this as a conflict between summer and winter.

In Welsh myths, when the people of northern Wales offended the fairies, the fairies unleashed an army of monsters. It included a huge toad with sharp claws, a serpent with 100 damned souls writhing under its skin, and a 100-headed monster so huge battles could be fought on its jaws.
Jason Kang

"I see Queen Mab hath been with you....
She gallops night by night
Through lovers' brains, and then they dream of love;
O'er courtiers' knees, that dream on court'sies straight,
O'er lawyers' fingers, who straight dream on fees."
- William Shakespeare, "Romeo and Juliet"
Warwick Goble

Far darrigs are nasty, solitary Irish goblins famous for their red coats and rat-like features, including a snout and long tail. They love to play cruel tricks on humans, such as replacing babies with changelings or filling their sleep with nightmares

rev. 4 of cups
rev III. Empress
I am lacking energy today, at the very least. Maybe there will be more flower varieties the next day!

In Scottish folklore, if a house goblin such as a brownie is treated with disrespect, it can transform into a "bogle." This nasty goblin will devote itself to vandalizing the house and tormenting its inhabitants with the same dedication that the brownie kept things neat and tidy.

The bean-nighe (Scottish Gaelic for "washerwoman") or "Washer at the Ford" is a Scottish fairy and omen of death. She appears as an old woman at some desolate stream or pool, where she is washing the blood from the grave clothes of someone who will soon die.
Katherine Soutar

The pech are Scottish goblins who have great strength despite their small size. An old, sick pech on his deathbed was able to shatter a metal cup by squeezing it. Along with the giants, the pech were said to be the builders of Scotland's ancient stone megaliths.

Went to the allotment yesterday to discover the pond fairy has had a makeover by the local flora.

"By the craggy hillside,
Through the mosses bare,
They have planted thorn trees
For pleasure, here and there.
Is any man so daring
As dig them up in spite,
He shall find their sharpest thorns
In his bed at night."
- William Allingham, "The Fairies"

-for fey, spirit creatures. nature spirits, etc. For tt/rpg, d&d, other gaming or immersion in fantasy style culture love!

This is a mini zine page detailing how to write in sylvin horizontal short form!

As last time, (for sylvin branch form) the page for geblin will help you understand better.

There is a variation for v instead of f,
and another for c instead of Ch,
if you are trying to use these to write english instead of geblin.

the Tzren character from branch form is used here also, but not pictured.

If you have any questions, I would be happy to help!
Imagine using them as campaign materials, or for journaling!

geblin and numbers/letters, for reference to letter/number order.
