As confusing his old story gets what about this fellow's horde, the Coranyid?????????

[@TheBrythonicPantheon]

Haven't come across the Coranyid in anything I've read. Please feel free to shed some light on it. I'd be interested to know.

Nice video! I have limited knowledge on Welsh mythology and confused as to where he is on the timeline, I believe he's in the Mabinogion but I'm not sure if he's good or bad. It'd be ironic if he's bad since 'Gwyn' has only good connotations like, fair, blessed, white, smart, etc. I hope not much has been christianised since I hate when that happens. Also, the U in Welsh is pronounced like the ea in Neath

Check out the video I did on Annwn. I discuss Gwyn a lot there. Is he good or bad? Neither, I feel he represents the dark half of year while Arawn represents the light half. He is commonly believed in mythology to be a psychopomp and leads the wild hunt with his hounds the Cwn Anwn (the supernatural hounds of Annwfn) collecting the souls of the dead. As with most of these stories, It can be a challenge to know where ancient beliefs finish and mythology begins

@@TheBrythonicPantheon .................. The Song Of Albion by Stephen Lawhead has the brief story of Nudd and his brother plus their father, and the character trapped at the pit ( the books call it the Cythrawl ) But the Horde of Nudd is chasing the humans in this triology, it made me have to research frog secrets. I don't yet get the ideas of these underworld characters. However I can see the old Silver Hand idea quite clearly A silver hand is like if Taran and Moana were one person saving both worlds
