Meddygon Myddfai / The Myddfai Physicians | Llyn y Fan Fach
🕑 Added 2022-08-24 21:38:02 +0000 UTCS’mae!
Today we’re going to be looking at a piece of history that has been woven into the folkloric traditions of Llyn y Fan Fach / The Lady of the Lake, and finding out a little more about the (allegedly) half-fae sons of the Lady. Her sons are said to have birthed modern medicine in Cymru and these mystical beginnings have firmly solidified the Physicians place in our history.
You can read more about the work collected from the descendants of Meddygon Myddfai in this 1861 publication from the Royal College of Physicians, London;
