Here's ane Alison micht be interestit in.
In Irish Gaelic literature, folklore, and mythology, a legendary heroine. Deirdre, who was renowned for her beauty, was brought up by Conchobar, King of Ulster, who planned to marry her. However, she fell in love with his nephew Noíse and they fled to Scotland, accompanied by his two brothers. Emissaries of the king induced them to return to Ireland, and when they did, Conchobar had the three brothers treacherously killed. Deirdre then died of grief.

Subject: RE: BS: weemin fae hell From: katlaughing Date: 15 Aug 00 - 06:21 PM No, you get me all wrong, ljc...the first I ever knew of the kelpies was that they were faeries, so I was thankin' ya for that "from the horse's mouth" validation of my earliest memories of it. When I first read of the other explanations, I was a bit devastated...as it was always a benign, good being to me...now do ya 'spose it's any coincidence that the last name I chose, as a kid, to use with Kelpie, was Cameron!? ta,Kat |

Subject: RE: BS: weemin fae hell From: Little Hawk Date: 15 Aug 00 - 06:42 PM Nice little tour. I have never seen so much grey stone in a long time. I believe I would favor the Shakespeare...I like the name. The "Shakie" is a great name for a pub. |

Subject: RE: BS: weemin fae hell From: celticblues5 Date: 15 Aug 00 - 06:48 PM great pix, ljc - thanks for the link. Is High Street still such a beautiful, broad boulevard? It's not the same street as the pic with the tank, is it? What is the history of the razing of the buildings at Blue Mountains? Here in the US, Prince Charles' interest in old building preservation has received a lot of press play. Is he really doing anything toward this, or is it just PR? |

Ah hope that is straightened oot noo.Sorry if ah got yese puggled. LJC |

Subject: RE: BS: weemin fae hell From: Stewie Date: 16 Aug 00 - 09:42 AM LJC, Brownies seem much more pleasant. Your thread prompted me to drag out my copy of Katherine Briggs' 'Dictionary of Fairies' which has been gathering dust for years. Kelpies sound like downright nasty characters and unworthy of their Australian canine namesakes. Briggs says that a Kelpie was a Scottish water horse that haunted rivers. He could assume human form - that of a rough, shaggy man - and would sometimes leap up behind a solitary rider, gripping him and crushing him, and frightening him almost to death. Before storms, he could be heard howling and wailing. His most usual shape was that of a young horse. He played the bogey-beast trick of alluring travellers on to his back and rushing with them into a deep pool where he struck the water with his tail with a sound like thunder and disappeared in a flash of light. He was also suspected of sometimes tearing people to pieces and devouring them. I am sure Joe and his helpers would much rather be thought of as Brownies rather than Kelpies. --Stewie. |

Subject: RE: BS: weemin fae hell From: Stewie Date: 16 Aug 00 - 09:55 AM Sorry, I overlooked the link to the previous discussion on meaning of Kelpies that Kat posted above, but I have read it now. My quote from Briggs added a little, so it wasn't entirely redundant. --Stewie. |
