The Nanteos Cup
The colourful urban legend that surrounds the Nanteos cup features escaping monks, secret tunnels, and a crusader, but perhaps more than any other factor, it is a tribute to the power of the Internet. This damaged medieval mazer bowl, unearthed during renovations at a monastic site, found its way into a stately home in Wales. It was exhibited at an archaeological meeting, gained a local reputation for ‘healing’, and was absorbed into early twenti…
I Cannot Find the Hanged Man
In 1909, the occult publishing firm Rider and Son issued a pack of Tarot cards created by the artist Pamela Coleman Smith and the writer Arthur Edward Waite, both members of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This new Tarot linked a divination device that originated in the eighteenth century with current esoteric ideas. T. S. Eliot’s use of the cards in The Waste Land fixed the image of Tarot as the embodiment of a mystical quest, and, as the…

Fantastic Creatures in Mythology and Folklore
Drawing on historical sources, myth and folklore, Fantastic Creatures in Mythology and Folklore explores the roles of fantastical beasts - particularly the unicorn, the mermaid, and the dragon - in a series of thematic chapters organised according to their legendary dwelling place, be this land, sea, or air. Through this original approach, Juliette Wood provides the first study of mythical beasts in history from the medieval period to the present…

Fairytales and the Magic Lantern
Among the collections of The Folklore Society, London, are a number of hand-painted magic lantern slides by Henry Underhill, an amateur scientist and naturalist who lived in Oxford during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The slides illustrate Japanese, Irish, Russian, Norwegian and French folktales drawn from various printed sources. They add a new dimension to our understanding of folktale reception at the period and to the int…

Filming Fairies
This study examines the idea of fairy lore (faery) as a modern concept with personal and humanistic overtones transmitted through mass media phenomena such as films. Analysis of the relationship between folk and popular culture has become increasingly sophisticated and has widened our appreciation of the ways in which mass-culture audiences use tradition to shape popular culture. Fantasy films draw on recognised traditional elements, but the sign…

Folk Narrative Research in Wales at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century
Although published at the beginning of the twentieth century, John Rhŷs's work on folklore remains an important source for the study of Welsh folk narrative. There exists, however, no overall assessment of his contribution, his concept of folk narrative, his sources, or his interpretation of his material either in terms of Welsh culture or in the wider context of folklore theory, then and now. This paper is intended as a platform from which some …

Folklore Studies at the Celtic Dawn
At the end of the last century Alfred Trubner Nutt, distinguished folklorist and celticist, was president of the Folklore Society. On the occasion of his untimely death by drowning in 1910, Jessie Weston published an appreciation in the Folklore Society's journal which contained a succinct summation of Nutt's contributions to folklore and to Celtic studies: The great value of Mr Nutt's work has been his appreciation of the fact that the progress …

The Fairy Bride Legend in Wales
ON a recent visit to a Cardiff bookshop specialising in Welsh publications, the writer of the present article counted eleven different published versions of the story of the fairy from Llyn Y Fan Fach. The tale, which first appeared in print in the nineteenth century, tells the story of a fairy woman from the depths of Llyn y Fan Fach in Carmarthenshire who married a mortal. She returned to her supernatural realm when her husband violated conditi…
The Holy Grail
In his search for the Grail, Tennyson's Lancelot follows a sweet voice singing in the topmost tower: ... as in a dream I seemed to climb For ever: at the last I reached a door ... It gave, and throe' a stormy glare, a heat As from a seventimes-heated furnace ... And yet methought I saw the Holy All palled in crimson samite ... (Idylls of the King, 2:829-44). Just over a century later, publishers regularly advertise Lancelot's vision of the Holy w…
Perceptions of the Past in Welsh Folklore Studies
This paper discusses various ways the concept of the past has been interpreted and used in Welsh antiquarian and folklore studies, beginning and ending with illustrations of popular concepts of “Welshness” in the tourism and heritage industries, and en route making a critique of “centre vs periphery” scholarly models. Special attention is paid to the work of the Celtic scholar Sir John Rhys and Iowerth Peate, the founder of the Welsh Folk Museum
The Celtic Tarot and the Secret Tradition
The proliferation of new writing on the tarot in recent years has tended to obscure the fact that interpretation of tarot cards as an esoteric device was suggested in the context of the occult revival at the end of the eighteenth century. Writers associated with the French occult revival at the end of the eighteenth century began to link the Tarot, first with Egyptian hieroglyphs, then with the cabbala (Howe 1972, 40-4; Cavendish 1975, 11-59; McI…

The Old Man of the Mountain in Medieval Folklore
THE character of the Old Man of the Mountain is no doubt known to many modern readers through Fitzgerald's brilliant and freely translated account of his supposed friendship with the poet of the Rubaiyat. However, this enigmatic and sinister figure had already made his presence felt in European history and tradition during and after the period of the Crusades as the leader of a dreaded sect known as the Assassins. In modern European languages the…

Virgil and Taliesin
AT the beginning of the sixteenth century a work appeared describing the marvellous feats of Virgil, which he performed, according to one translation, 'by witchcraft and negromancye thorwgh the helpe of the devils of hell.' Welsh manuscripts of Hanes Taliesin written towards the end of that century included stories and poems about Taliesin describing his ability to prophesy, to call up storms, and to perform other magical feats.2 Both these figur…

Alan James Bruford, 1937–1995
It is my sad task to announce the loss of Alan Bruford who died suddenly earlier this year. Dr Alan James Bruford had been archivist of the School of Scottish Studies since 1965. As archivist, field worker and teacher, he was a tireless advocate for the traditions and culture of Scotland. Born in Edinburgh in 1937, he was educated at Edinburgh Academy and Winchester College. He went on to read History and Anglo-Saxon at St John's College Cambridg…

Diana Memorabilia
No one witnessed the scenes that followed the death of Diana Princess of Wales could doubt either the intensity of the emotion or the crucial role of the mass media its blanket coverage and global broadcasting. In the months since her death, commentators have begun to analyse both the causes and effects of this event. Certainly, one result in Britain has been a further re-assessment of the monarchy, the institution that so long projected itself a…
