P'nawn Da #WelshCraftHour ! As an antidote to this awful heatwave, here's a reminder we had snow on the 4th of January!






The blog is posted. The Witch has been reduced to a puddle, and it utterly diminished after this week's events which included a reenactment of Ragnarok... Join her for tea, poetry and Greek mythology. #Writing #Poetry #SundayFringe #WelshCraftHour #SmartSocial ko-fi.com/post/A-Coin-Fo…



Something to cool us down - 'Ffordd Lâs’ (Gwernymynydd), a watercolour and pastel painting.






That's #WelshCraftHour for today. Keep crafting with #shopindie 7.30pm tonight #CraftBizParty Anytime #UKGiftAm has moved but you can still use the hashtag #SundayFringe 10am Sunday #SmartSocial 11am Sunday

Cats at Sea: Ill Omens or Uncanny Guardians? 🐈⬛⚓ Welsh sailors once watched their ship’s cat with nervous eyes. Was it stretching? Wiping its face? Turning its back on the captain? Each movement could spell calm seas… or catastrophe. In old Welsh maritime lore, cats were more than mousers — they were weather prophets, spirit-sensors and bearers of strange luck. 🐱 If it scratched the mast, all hands were doomed. 🐱 If the cat singed its fur, nothing could save the crew. 🐱 A playful cat meant a storm was brewing: “a gale of wind is in their tails, and there is rain in their faces.” Cats were uncanny, but they weren’t alone — the high seas were awash with superstitious practices. Sailors tossed coins from the bow, stepped aboard left foot first, and carried Good Friday bread to ward off shipwrecks. 🐾 Would you sail with a cat? via Mark Rees #Caturday #Folklore #Gothic #Wales #uncanny #Superstition
