Interesting that. Possibly more the *Nordic* aspect of their history than Celtic / Gaelic as I have heard of no such creature in Irish myth, plus there is no 'V' (or 'W') letter in Gaelic, only sounds, but not letters as in 'Wulver'. It actually even sounds very Germanic / Norse. Thanks though for sharing your knowledge. Slán The Norse had many lycanthropic references and tales in their equally intriguing mythology.

7:36 actually the tradition of having a wake for the dead came about from people being mistook for being dead and being buried alive. The professional whalers were hired because the tones in their cries were actually able to wake someone who might have been mistaken for being dead, hence the phrase to someone being loud "you'd wake the dead" and hence the tradition of a wake is even called a wake in the first place.

Couch gaming news Creepy horseman thingy

ZanzaKlaus to be fair, that's more Norse than Celtic

[@TheHornedKing]

It's a demon living in the sea, but also walks on land at time. It is blamed for every kind of disaster; draughts, plagues, sick livestock etc. And people were so scared of it many didn't even dare speak it's name. It's most iconic for it's appearance; a skinned horse with a skinned human torso growing out of it's back, resembling a rider. It also had yellow veins, which were filled with black blood, which of course were visible for everyone to see, as it didn't have any skin.

[@LostArchivist]

ZanzaKlaus Oddly I once did a spur if the moment roleplay with someone online via a chatting service and they played as one of these and I was Mabel from Gravity Falls she had the journal of course, and staying in character, she actually escaped. It was awesome and I was amazed it worked.

Which is just ridiculous!

[@DodgerOfSheep]

Changelings have been theorised to be linked with down syndrome. The people would mistake the unusual facial features as meaning a changeling has taken their baby and put a bad replacement in its place. A lot of these "changelings" were unfortunately drowned instead of being reared.

[@LostArchivist]

DodgerOfSheep Probably not just Down Syndrome, but any disfiguring condition or syndrome is more likely. It would be far too unlikely for it to be comfortably linked to a single disorder as we u understand them.

[@sevatarlives185]

Also, it may have been something of a comfort to think of one's child who died in childhood as living on safely with the Sidh.

[@nickbailey9552]

I mean, it's possible, especially as it wasn't rare for many tribal cultures to "dispose" of infants unlikely to survive. Also, Jesus, can you imagine trying to raise a child with downs syndrome back then? Fuck that, kids a serious liability for the whole tribe

[@sevatarlives185]

Gromph Baenre Nope. It's named for John Langdon Down, the first doctor to identify it.

[@flamenmartialis6839]

They had changeling in swedish folklore too. One way to get your chold back was to do some regular worktask in a strange way, like using an eggshell as a cooking pot. The changling would then stand up and exclaim something like "Half a dozen forests have I seen grow and die, but nothing as stupid as using an eggshell for cooking" He had then showed that he wasn't a child and the real child would been returned. We also have something similare to the kelpie, näcken often a male that was found in rivers and streams. He would play fiddle and Could lure youngsters on to the water, sometime he took a maiden as wife to live under water. In rare case you could make a deal and he teach you to play fiddle, but there was often a catch you could only play a surtain number of songs in a row. Oftebn he would forget and keep playing and find that he could stop playing and the people couldn't stop dancing until they died of exhaustion.

No. A Banshee was originally just a woman who performed a certain kind of singing as a funerary right. It was common to have a Banshee interpret the grieving of a death through her song. When Christianity came, they didn't like the practice so they demonized the woman and told people that if you hear a Banshee you will die.

[@Not-an-Alien]

That quotation at the end is a mistranslation. "It's lay it on a bed of iron" the Fay cannot abide the touch of iron. It is an anathema and causes them great pain. If it is a changeling they will very strongly react. If it was human it would do no harm.

[@sadlobster1]

One creature of Irish myth I've yet to find more info on are the Oakshees. An Oakshee is a sort of tree spirit, from what I've heard

[@sevatarlives185]

sadlobster1 no such creature exists in Irish mythology, as far as I can tell. For a start, its name is an ugly portmanteau of the English word "Oak" (Doire/Daire in Irish) with the anglicised form of "sidh" stuck on the back of it. So "oak fairy" is what... whoever made up this term is trying to say (it seems a very... New Agey, pseudo-Celtic Reconstructionist thing from the pages I saw with mentions of it). Many types of trees were considered magical or holy by the ancient Celts, and there are still fairy trees around the place, that doesn't mean a vengeful Mother Earth animist avatar comes after you (you want Warhammer Age of Sigmar Treekin for that). Cutting down a tree beloved by the síthe would just get them angry with you in general.
