http://www.britannia.com/history/biographies/constantine.html

Extractions: After the gradual withdrawal of Roman troops from Britain in the last decades of the 4 th century, several generals rose to power as Emperors over the mainland British. Legend, particularly perpetrated by Geoffrey of Monmouth , states that the British people looked to their cousins in Brittany for such leadership. King Aldrien of Brittany declined the British High-Throne, but offered up his young brother, Constantine in his stead. Constantine landed in Britain with 2000 men and overcame the barbarians already invading the Island's shores to become High-King as Constantine Waredwr ( the Deliverer Constantine has been variously identified with one of several near contemporary men of this name appearing in ancient Welsh Royal pedigrees: the Galfridian brother of King Aldrien of Brittany, a son of the Emperor Magnus Maximus or a King of Dumnonia in South-Western Britain. The latter is perhaps the most popular, yet also the most unlikely and based on his grandson

http://www.britannia.com/history/h17.html

Extractions: Geoffrey Ashe is an internationally known historian, author and lecturer who writes extensively in the areas of British history and mythology. In his career, he has written more than 20 books and has contributed numerous articles to scholarly publications. He has held visiting professorships at seven American universities and has been involved with television projects related to King Arthur and British mythology in the capacity of advisor, interviewee and commentator. He was the co-founder and secretary of the Camelot Research Committee, the group responsible for the 1966-70 excavation of Cadbury Castle, a strong candidate for the site of King Arthur's Camelot. Mr. Ashe enjoys wide public recognition and acceptance of his works and is arguably the pre-eminent popularizer of the history and legends of King Arthur in the world, today. We met with Geoffrey Ashe for the first time in Glastonbury, Somerset, in early April, 1995. Our meeting took place in the sitting room of the George and Pilgrims Hotel, a medieval hostelry which had been constructed to accommodate pilgrims to the famous abbey, there. We spent a fascinating day talking about King Arthur and touring some of the Arthurian sites in and around Glastonbury. Mr. Ashe had been a favorite of ours, for years. We had read a number of his books and were impressed with what he said and the way he said it. He presented his material in an engaging, conversational way. His writing made the legends and the locales come alive in a way that the more "scholarly" books don't. In recent years, there have been many new theories about the "true identity" of King Arthur and, quite frankly, some of them are pretty off-the-wall. Ashe's ideas, on the other hand, are derived from a careful evaluation of existing historical material combined with a willingness to think unconventionally, when conventional thinking leads to a dead end. Unravelling the mystery of King Arthur at a distance of 1,500 years is uncertain and difficult work, at best, and one should not be too dogmatic about the conclusions one reaches. To us and to many others who have read his books, though, Geoffrey Ashe provides a solution to the problem that makes alot of sense.

http://www.iit.edu/~phillips/personal/lore/treelett.html

Extractions: The following is a long, long post. If you're not interested in reading about etymology of words, mythological inferences, and the Druidic calendar, then skip this now. But this is too good to pass up, IMHO. The author, John King, did an impressive job of researching the past, and I will do my poor best to summarize it. From The Celtic Druids' Year The Beth-Luis-Nion, named after its first three letters, just as we call our modern alphabet the ABC, has only thirteen consonants [corresponding to the 13 lunations or moon cycles of the year] and five vowels, as follows: B L N F S H D T C M G P R ; A O U E I Robert Graves, in The White Goddess , adds four letters to the Beth-Luis-Nion, as follows: B L N F S SS H D T C CC M G P R ; AA A O U E I II Top The four added letters are 'doubles' of their accompanying letter. SS (or Z) follows S; CC (or Q) follows C; AA (or long O) precedes A; and II (or Y) follows I. The significance of the Beth-Luis-Nion alphabet is that it contains within it a series of references which would only be known to the initiated (specifically, Druidic initiates). The references as listed below are a greatly simplified version of the long, densely detailed description from Graves. B is for Beth (beh), which means Birch.

http://philtar.ucsm.ac.uk/regional/europe/

Extractions: This page includes sections on "Ancient Monuments", "The Gods' Homepages", "The Vikings", and "Related Links", the later of which includes an interesting essay on 'Nordic Mythology'. Many of the discussions of the gods draw directly upon either the Poetic or Prose Edda. Among the ancient monuments may be found, for example, an account and photographs of the Sigurd Runestone, which tells the story of how Sigurd slew the dragon Fafnir and his companion Regin. History, Folktales, and Beliefs of Pagan Lithuania Professor Michael Branch discusses this Finnish epic myth, which focuses primarily around Vainamoinen, the "eternal sage" who brings order to chaos. The article is organized into four parts following the introduction: (i) Construction of a past; (ii) Universals (cross-cultural beliefs and practices); (iii) A new literature; and (iv) A national symbol. Lithuanian Mythology Although intended chiefly for children, this site provides a useful introduction to Nordic mythology for adults also. Subjects discussed include, for example, the gods Odin, Thor, the mischievous Loki, the World Tree (Yggdrasil), and Ymir, the giant from whose body our world was formed. Also provided are 'Notes for Teachers'.

INTERVIEW WITH ALAN GARNER
From Raymond H. Thompson's "Interviews with Authors of Modern Arthurian Literature".Category Arts Literature Authors G Garner, Alan Now this led me, through my background reading, into an awarenessof british mythology that was not part of my formal education.
http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/intrvws/garner.htm

Extractions: Since I interviewed Alan Garner the day after my arrival in Britain from Canada, I was suffering from jet lag. It dawned, however, a bright spring morning and the Cheshire countryside was clothed in a fresh green growth that lifted the spirits. To my surprise, I found that Garner lived in not one but two houses, the second of which had been moved onto his property and was being lovingly restored. After lunch with Garner and his wife in a traditional farm kitchen, he and I settled down in front of an open fire in his study for the interview, a very appropriate setting for the author of the Alderley Edge books, The Wierdstone of Brisingamen (London: Collins, 1960; rev. ed. London: Penguin, 1963) and The Moon of Gomrath (London: Collins, 1963). At first sight, neither book seems particularly Arthurian, but closer scrutiny reveals a number of borrowings, particularly the Cave Legend. The story of a king and his followers sleeping in a secret cave certainly predates Arthur, as Garner points out, but it became attached to him in the minds of many who passed it on, including Garner's own family. Why he chose to mute, rather than strengthen, the Arthurian links was one of the topics we explored that afternoon. Another was the challenges he encountered embarking upon a career as an author, for The Wierdstone of Brisingamen

Welsh folk-lore, fairy mythology, legends and traditions by Wirt Sikes Fairy Tales and the Ancient Mythology Classification of Welsh Fairies Lake Fairies Mountain Fairies Changelings Living with the Tylwyth Teg Fairy Music Fairy Rings Piety as a Protection from the Tylwyth Teg Origins of Welsh Fairies Fairy Money and Fairy Gifts in General WITH But since the knowledge of our maturer years destroys all that, it is with a degree of satisfaction we can turn to the consolations of the fairy mythology. The beloved tales of old are 'not true' but at least they are not mere idle nonsense, and they have a good and sufficient reason for being in the world; we may continue to respect them. The wit who observed that the final cause of fairy legends is 'to afford sport for people who ruthlessly track them to their origin,' [Saturday Review,' October 20, 1877] expressed a grave truth in jocular form. Since one can no longer rest in peace with one's ignorance, it is a comfort to the lover of fairy legends to find that he need not sweep them into the grate as so much rubbish; on the contrary they become even more enchanting in the crucible of science than they were in their old character.
