#MythologyMonday: There`s a pre-Celtic cosmic tale in which the winter sun’s daughter is born as an old woman and grows younger through the winter, ending as a lovely maid, which was adopted by the arriving #Celts and melded to their own myth of the bestowal of sovereignty on the chosen king, who typically had to kiss or have intercourse with the #Cailleach in her hag form before she revealed herself as a splendid young woman.

According to Welsh mythology, when the giant British king Bran the Blessed was killed, his companions buried Bran's huge head where the Tower of London now stands. As long as it's there, Britain can't be invaded. However, some say King Arthur dug it up, s he didn't want anyone except himself to be Britain's guardian.
