A bit of an intro


By Indilwen, 2013-03-12

I'm an American mutt, primarily Hungarian in blood, with Dutch and British (Heath clan, my maternal grandfather's mother, however, was a Price, which is traceable to the Welsh name ap Rhys, son of Rhys, thus making it in its origins a Welsh clan also).

My birth father is full Hungarian, mainland Hungarian on his mother's side, and Transylvanian Hungarian minor nobility on his father's side.

I have a strong interest in all things Celtic, regardless of origins. I regard the Bretons and Picts as the earliest British--hence the Celts were actually there first, (in the case of the Bretons, the Picts are, I believe, Pre-Celtic, not certain of this one)the 'England' name comes from the Angles--who were Germanic. So the trouble started in Germany--go figure. Grins

I am one of the millions enamoured with the Arthurian lore-histories, and I count them as Otherworldy histories rather than just legends or 'myths.' I regard the use of 'myth' to mean incorrect telling as an insult to the term. It simply most accurately meaneth 'story'--no judgement (in the sense of evaluation) implied as to whether it is fictional or actual/historical.

I've studied the lore-histories/mythologies of various lands, Greek, Cornwall (Avalon) and Norse, a tiny bit of Welsh, and Irish much more than any of the above save for the Greke. I don't put Roman here because that's a repeat of the Greke with different names. :-)

My main interests are history, (ancient, Medieval, and Renaissance, primarily), especially that of the ancient Celts, the British Isles in general, and of the Huns, (I'm Hungarian), and those of the Middle East, and archaeology of all of the above, especially the first two, because that of the Hungarian peoples is a bit similar in some areas to the Celtic (the white stag for example, white is a Faerie colour in Welsh, and British faery lore.

I'm a Christo-Pagan with Celtic and New-Age leaning, and Elven leanings.

Any questions for me I'll be glad for to answer to the best of mine ability.

Hugs,

Indilwen
