[edit] Mabinogion

Thanks for the complements! I think your idea is a great one. I think the main reason the New Age material is so frustrating to deal with is that its well-meaning proponents tend to blur the lines between analysis of the sources and modern interpretation. Treating the newer additions separately but truthfully and without judgement will go a long way in correcting that. Keep up the good work!--Cúchullain t / c 20:47, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Robert von Ranke Graves

I saw, and replied to, your note on The Pump; you have my heartfelt sympathy. I have suggested a technique there. In your case, this would be: grit your teeth, look up Arianrhod in The White Goddess, and put a paragraph in the article summarizing what Graves says, and the facts that are the reasons you don't believe it. Actually saying Graves was full of it would actually be less effective. Septentrionalis 15:51, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Llŷr a Llwyd

Diolch yn fawr iawn i ti! I went sort of crazy in the last few days when I realized how amateurish a lot of Wikipedia's material on Celtic mythology is. Manawydan and Manannán are brothers?! Fand (deity) and Fand (fairy) are different people? Llud is a god of the Thames based on Lludd Llaw Eraint? Oy gevalt! :-) QuartierLatin1968 20:01, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
