“The Ceffyl Dŵr or water horse is a superstition common...to all the Celtic race...An evil spirit, who...would induce the unwary stranger to mount him and soaring over river and mountain would suddenly melt into...mist and precipitate his rider to destruction”
#Fairytaletuesday
The ceffyl dŵr is a Welsh fairy horse that inhabits mountain pools and waterfalls. In south Wales, it is often benevolent, but in north Wales it is not. It likes to get travelers to ride it, fly into the air, and then become mist, so the riders fall to their deaths #SwampSunday

Design update: In keeping with Welsh/Celtic mythology, Vera is now a Ceffyl Dŵr (shapeshfting water horse), Amanda's Trinity Knot now has the weave circle, and Frieda is now a Grwagged Annwn, which is a lake fairy #TheValeofWales

"The Ceffyl-dŵr, or water-horse of #Wales, was a beautiful but small creature who, after tempting the unwary traveller to mount him, soared over river and mountain, then suddenly melted into thin air and threw his rider to destruction."
