Taliesin (‘radiant brow’) is the earliest known historical Welsh bard (6th c). Legend has it, he gained his gift when he put his scalding thumb to his mouth after 3 drops splashed on it from the Cauldron of Inspiration.

Memory is an important component of storytelling. In Greek mythology, Mnemosyne was the titan goddess of memory and mother of the nine muses, fathered by Zeus. It is from her name we get the word mnemonic, which is a memory aid.

We are the music makers
We are the dreamers of dreams
Wandering by lone sea-breakers
Sitting by desolate streams
World-losers and world-forsakers
On whom the pale moon gleams
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems

‘Sure-hoofed is my steed impelled by the spur;
The high springs of alder on thy shield;
Bran thou art called, of the glittering branches.’

🌿🌺🌿Cuckoo lore...
"In April, come he will,
In May, he sings all day,
In June, he changes his tune,
In July, he prepares to fly,
In August, go he must."

A rhyme of rival courtesans? In The Beggar’s Opera (1728) 'Lucy Lockit' loses her (rich)man to Polly. In reality 18thc courtesans Kitty Fisher & Maria Gunning were rivals; Maria wed wealthy Lord Coventry but Kitty had an affair with him thus 'picking her pocket'

This I want to discuss Thomas the Rhymer, a scottish laird and poet from Erceldoune in the border. After being carried off by the queen of elfland, who was charmed by his poetry, when he returned he had the power of prophecy and the inability to lie.

🌿💘🌿Ash leaves with an even number of fronds were believed to bestow good fortune, and were used in divination and love charms...
"Even, even, Ash,
I pluck thee off the tree.
The first young man that I do meet,
My lover he shall be!"

A warning about the Witch of Burwell survives in this rhyme:
'A wicked old crone
Who lived all alone
In a hut beside the reeds,
With a high-crowned hat
And a black tom-cat,
Whose looks were as black as her deeds!'

Counting cherry stones:
When shall I marry?
This year, next year, sometime, never.
What shall I wear?
Silk, satin, cotton, rags
How shall I get to church?
Coach, carriage, wheelbarrow, cart
Where shall I live?
Big house, little house, pigsty, barn
