Annwfn (I Fought the Law and the Law Won)
Where have I been?
Physically, here. I have walked around, gone to work, kissed my boyfriend, but my mind was elsewhere. At the bottom of that deep green pool, dancing with the spirits in a world like our own but different. I asked the spirts, “who am I?” but they just laughed.
“You are your father’s daughter”, some said.
“You are your mother’s daughter”, said others.
“It doesn’t matter. You are your own person.”, said the rest.
I wasn’t happy with the answers. I asked them, “where am I from?” and they all laughed again.
“You are from the lush green valleys, with castles on the hills”, said some.
“You are from purple mountains, scarred with deep lochs”, said the others.
“It doesn’t matter. You can be from wherever you choose”, said the rest.
“Go deeper”, the spirits whispered. So, I did.
“Annwfn (I Fought the Law and the Law Won)” is an invitation to join me as I descend into the mythical Welsh Otherworld, a place of magic, dancing and feasting, where time moves differently and the living and dead co-exist with the past and present.
