    Traditions of the British and Emerald isles?

    Hey guys, I need some help finding some good resources.

    I'm interested in adding or even changing my path as of recently. I've become increasingly interested in the folk religions and tales of the British Isles. I'm not necessarily speaking about the really old Celtic faith, but more so the folk tales and little spiritual niches that have developed and survived since. An example is the British creature, the Brownie. So basically stuff like that, folky stuff, I hope that explains it enough.

    So if anybody has any good resources on that area, or any personal tips, please throw 'em at me.

    In Days of yore,
    From Britain's shore
    Wolfe the dauntless hero came
    And planted firm Britannia's flag
    On Canada's fair domain.
    Here may it wave,
    Our boast, our pride
    And joined in love together,
    The thistle, shamrock, rose entwined,
    The Maple Leaf Forever.

        I have never been across the way
        Seen the desert and the birds
        You cut your hair short
        Like a shush to an insult
        The world had been yelling
        Since the day you were born
        Revolting with anger
        While it smiled like it was cute
        That everything was shit.

          Hi Doc - I've been thinking about this one. This is quite a good - and full - resource: https://archive.org/details/afl2317.0001.001.umich.edu

          It's Marie Trevelyan's book of the folklore of Wales. Pretty comprehensive I think. Very interesting anyway. Then of course there's the Mabinogion which you should be able to find online somewhere. That would be a good start, I think (at least for the welsh stuff.) If there is anything specific you need, just let me know and I'll see what I can find.

              Tairis is a great website to try (although they seem to be having a few website problems at the moment): http://tairis.co.uk/
