More on Myth

As I've mentioned, I'm doing research on Celtic mythology for an upcoming project, and have looked into Teutonic mythology just to see what correlations I can find. The particular correlation I'm looking for is one I'm not finding, which is informative. It's also noteworthy that the particular bit I'm looking for (about the gods going underground) is clearly expressed in *Irish* Celtic mythology, and not much beyond that. I'm going to have to look into the Welsh a bit more before I'm sure of that.

Today, however, I spent the morning with Brian Branston's The Lost Gods of England. ( More about what I found out behind this cut. )

In other news, I've discovered that I'm theoretically supposed to only renew books from my library once, which means I have quite a few that need to go back soon. This probably also means there will be more mythology postings in the near future as I sift through all the material I ordered in...
