Superb myth Patrick - my parents have visited the Isle of Man and loved it. I enjoy western myths purely for appreciating human creativity. I’ve not read Indian mythology much but I really want to because your point of myths being your connection to your ancestors hit the nail on the head - the Ramayana and Mahabharata truly merit my in-depth analysis!
A Scottish aristo and antiquarian friend of mine lives there, and you've given us all sorts of history to discuss, including whether she speaks Manx. So...thanx!
I am so glad to have found your post as I too have long been working on the inspirations of Welsh mythology in my own novel. As I look and look at the story of Branwen, daughter of Llyr, I notice the potential in the characters of Nyssien and Efnyssien, which I now discover are reversed in the tale of Y Chadee. Thank you for your added insight into this tale. I now have even more ammunition to deepen my own tale!
