Faeries and Corgi

Stories of corgis and faeries intricately weave together in Welsh mythology, creating a tapestry of wonder and enchantment. The Tylwyth Teg, or "fair folk," have long been a part of Wales' rich cultural legacy, inhabiting the lush landscapes and historic burial mounds, lending the untamed area a magical quality. The myths about faeries and their connection to the beloved Welsh corgi breed are among the most endearing. Reports suggest that the faerie folk chose these robust, low-to-the-ground herding dogs as their mounts, endowing them with steadfast loyalty and intelligence as they traversed the undulating hills and valleys. It was thought that the corgis' elongated bodies and small stature were the result of faerie interference, intended to keep them from being carried away by the strong slipstream generated by their charmed riders' quick movement. Welsh folklore tells us that the faeries meticulously fashioned the corgis' distinctive appearance, giving them the ideal form to embark on imaginative adventures. The dogd's sleek bodies and short legs allowed them to move quickly through the tough terrain, keeping up with the faeries as they darted through the old woodlands and hazy glens.

The faerie folk regarded the Corgis as invaluable companions due to their bravery and undying love. They were more than just reliable horses; they were also sentries, keeping an eye out for any dangers or intruders and guarding the hidden routes that led to the magical land. The faerie queen herself trusted them for protection during her joyful processions due to their exceptional dedication. There are many stories of farmers and shepherds seeing these faerie processions and feeling both fear and wonder at the sight. Few humans had the good fortune to see the magnificent fairy queen riding her corgi, flanked by a procession of elegantly attired fairy courtiers and their own small canine friends.

These accidental meetings were considered auspicious signs of prosperity as long as the mortal witnesses behaved with appropriate deference and did not disrupt the faerie merriment. It was thought that upsetting or offending the faerie folk would bring disaster and undesirable luck because they were infamous for being erratic and cunning, capable of both kindness and cunning. It was thought that people who faced the wrath of the faeries would see their households beset by inexplicable misfortunes, their livestock roaming, and their harvests failing. In their collective imagination, the Welsh people still associate corgis with faeries. The continuing charm of faerie folklore and the breed's continued appeal blend together to remind us of the magic that permeates the misty hills and valleys of this ancient nation. The faint outline of a faerie rider is nearly visible when a corgi leaps through the Welsh countryside, serving as a momentary reminder of the enchantment that endures among people who uphold the rich customs of their ancestors.

Mitologia - Criaturas 

Em inglês, a palavra "fada" é aplicada a todos seres sobrenaturais, especialmente aqueles que tem corpos humanoides e que comem, dormem e usam roupas como os humanos. Sendo assim, qualquer habitante do Outro Mundo (com exceção dos deuses) pode ser chamado(a) de “fada” ou “das fadas”

Aes Sidhe: Aes Sidhe (Ei Xi) é uma raça sobrenatural da mitologia irlandesa e escocesa. "Sidhe" significa “colina sobrenatural” e as pessoas acreditavam que uma das passagens mais comum para o Outro Mundo eram os montes e as colinas.

Seelie e Unseelie: No folclore escocês, as fadas ou seres sobrenaturais são divididos em Seelie (Sili) e Unseelie (Ansili). Seelie: feliz, sortudo, bom...; Unseelie: infeliz, desafortunado, mau...

Tylwyth Teg: O povo das fadas na mitologia galesa é chamado de Tylwyth Teg (Télui Tig). Eles são bondosos, mas capazes de travessuras ocasionais.

Feeling cute and quirky might go leave some gifts for the tylwyth teg in the forest and seek spiritual connections with my ancestors

I am a fully grown ass adult and yet when some small household item goes missing in my house I think to myself "Well, a Borrower must've took it" 🤷

Faebruary Day 13~Tylwyth Teg

Tylwyth Teg are faeries found in Wales. It is said that they have fair skin and white blonde hair. The type of Tylwyth Teg I was inspired for this piece was the Ellyllon, or elves.

Today marks the last day of @brettmanningart ‘s Faebruary Art Challenge. I had so much fun drawing and learning about each theme. It also really inspired me out of my art block, so I’ll be working more on some new art. Thank you for sharing this art challenge, Brett.

I’ve got this original story concept I’ve had in my head all day and I don’t know what to do with it. Like bro??? Why the hell are the Tyleyth Teg doing here in my brain and what do they want from me???

watching recaps of these tiktok books is making me want to reread the omens series I read in late middle/early high school

Fairies have been victims of forced displacement for years, due to the advancements of technology and invasion of human. Curses and magic protection spells haven’t been enough to prevent the destruction of fairy homes.

The tiniest, usually tree protectors, have found themselves in the care of bigger fairies in order to be able to travel. Pixies, Devas and Will O’ Wisps have travelled along Tylwyth Tegs, Mouras and Gianes.

Salamanders have found themselves divided between enjoying the care of human animal lovers and breaking havoc setting fires. The biggest fires have not been their fault though, because humans have destroyed the ozone layer enough to cause their own. This has also caused debates within the salamander community.

The prevalent belief in Wales may be said to rest with the ignorant, to be strongest in rural and mining districts, to be childlike and poetic, and to relate to anywhere except the spot where the speaker dwells - as to the next parish, to the next county, to the distant mountains, or to the shadow-land of Gwerddonau Llion, the green meadows of the sea.
