Miscellaneous Myths: Tam Lin

Honestly I’m surprised she was the first to hear of sexy mysterious sensitive elf boy and (totally by accident) forget her rings and cloaks

[@willieoelkers5568]

Keep in mind there could be *a lot* of negative stigma with a girl losing her virginity before the wedding night. As in literally ruin your life forever and get you married off to some creep who probably doesn't want a woman with no other options or place to go for pure and noble reasons. Plus we don't really know ahead of time whether he's sensitive or... *not* . Plenty of versions of the Faire Folke have shaky if not nonexistent understandings of "consent" or "no means no".

I like how the tokens, that are supposed to be placed in the forest are rings and green cloaks. In a way Tam Lin protects the travelers through this forest with this story from suffering his own fate, because if they carry green cloaks, the elves are unable to see them (as we learn later) and the rings probably show, that the person is already married, making them less interesting to the elves (maybe a bit of a stretch, I know).

Tam Lin - "Wow, no girl has actually ever been through these woods without some kind of offering." Janet - "Their loss." Also pretty kick-ass that this pregnant girl goes against the *Fairy Queen* in order to save her baby-daddy. Yeah, he couldn't actually harm her in those forms, but she gets points for not freaking out and continues to hold onto a lizard, a snake, a bear, a lion, a chunk of hot iron, and actual flames.

Well, in Celtic polytheism the Other World was simply a place you went to when you died, and when you died there you simply came back; and, according to Druidic poetry, you were reincarnated as something else, which is why Celtic art tends to be more anamorphic and surreal, images that flow from humanoid shapes to that of animals and plants. You can see this in the Gallic La Tene style of Celtic art. It's really a elegantly bizarre, yet charmingly modern strain of theology.

I mean... in ye olden days being preggers with no father present was a major, like, life-crippling problem. Nobody at the time wanted to raise someone else's kid, hence why virginity was valued so highly. There were no social welfare systems, but you also couldn't work to support the kid because you were too busy raising him, the only people that could afford professional child supervisors like nannies or even tutors to an extent were the obscenely rich. This, combined with the social stigma could leave a person completely without So you were just stuck permanently destitute, or willing to take any man who could support you, typically the kind who was so vile, abusive, and neglectful no other woman would have him not even in arranged marriage situations because a father is still going to try to find a good husband for his daughter, or you do the one job a single woman of poor reputation, no means, and high desperation has available, which unfortunately can also result in further pregnancies. But hey, at least you can try to enjoy the experience that gets you in that mess in the first place.

@@yes1667 Exactly. It's called "marrying up". Everyone wants to get the best partner they can. A lot of people just suck at it, because they don't understand that A)life isn't fair, and b)what values are; so they pick losers who waste their time, because they're immature, incompetent, insensitive or just plain abusive. It doesn't help that immature, incompetent, insensitive and abusive people just have a natural tendency to pair bond with each other, the vast majority of chronic reciprocal violence being, roughly, 50/50.

Let me guess, if you have time for it, the next story for this season is the tale of Jack of the Lantern? Which amusingly explains where Jack-o-lanterns get their name. The story is actually pretty amusing, seeing as it involves a not-so-nice guy pranking everyone, including the devil himself, and managing to get out of having his soul get eternal punishment in Hell but still being punished for his morally irreprehensible behavior.

[@colmryan9289]

I always loved that story when I was younger!

[@URLsareannoyingto]

I thought that story was about will-o-wisps, with the guy forcing the devil to promise not to take his soul. Then after he dies he tries going to heaven but isn't allowed in since he's too evil, so he goes to hell instead but can't get in since the devil swore not to take his soul. When the guy complains to the devil about not having a place to go, the devil throws hellfire at him and tells him to go find one, and the guy uses it as a lantern and wanders across the earth looking for somewhere to be.

[@dracone4370]

Name Explain actually addresses all this in his video on why we call carved pumpkins during this time of year Jack-o-Lanterns. The only discrepancy in what I said is he refers to the Irish using "really big Turnips" while the version of where they originate from I heard and am familiar with is the Irish using "Giant Beets" and to be honest, both are as equally viable when you think about it.

This reminds of a book I had growing up. "Gnat Stokes and The Foggy Bottom Swamp Queen." Or something along those lines. Basically it's about this thirteen year girl name Gnat who was raised by her grandfather and whom the townsfolk believe is the daughter of a witch. She finds a cat in the swamp that is carrying a gold locket in it's mouth that is engraved with the name of a local girl whose boyfriend mysteriously disappeared. Gnat decides to keep the locket and as a result falls hopelessly in love with the missing boy. As it turns out, the boy had sent the cat to deliver the locket to his girlfriend, but Gnat finds it instead and resolves to find the boy and save him because it's obvious he's being held captive by the swamp witch (who turns out to actually be Gnat's mother and she plans to sacrifice him in order to maintain her youth and beauty.) So Gnat finds the boy after following the cat (who is a magical cat that can talk while in the confines of the swamp) and he tells her what must be done in order to free him from the witch, however he insists his girlfriend is the one that has to do it. Unfortunately, his girlfriend has extremely poor eyesight and is also a bit slow, so at the last second Gnat decides she's the one that has to do it. And just like in this myth, she grabs hold of him as he's passing by on a horse, her mother puts him through three transformations, the last being a fiery hot grill or something that sets Gnat on fire. She launches both herself and the grill, or whatever it is, into a nearby pond at which point the spell is broken and the witch loses all her magical powers thus becoming a mortal woman. The boy and his girlfriend reunite and Gnat goes back to her life with her grandpa, except now she has the ability to see into the future and what she sees is her parents reuniting, so happy ending all around, I guess?
