A lovely glass Swan sculpture: $80.00 |
Scotland abounds in stories and legends of magical seafolk (selkies and mermaids), changeling legends about fairies stealing or possessing the bodies of babies, and tales of shape-shifting witches, ghosts, and family curses, not to mention their famous lake monster. |

| It's hard to know what to make of all this. Some consider the Scots (or Celts in general) to be ethnically predisposed to ESP, while some speculate that certain geographical areas, including Scotland, are more supportive of "etheric" beings (the fairy folk). Though a skeptic, in researching this topic, it was impossible to dismiss all the Scottish legends as unfounded. It is also interesting that certain elements of witch craft and the workings of the "Otherworld" are common the world over - for instance, the Scots, as everyone, used silver to kill shape-shifters (werewolves) and garlic to ward off evil. |

Whatever your personal beliefs, the folklore of Scotland is fascinating and worth investigating.
Considering the wealth of Scottish myths and legends and the incredible preponderance of Scots with a flair for the "second sight" and the strong role witchcraft (black and white) has played in Scotland's history, it was highly disappointing to discover that there are hardly any really good books on these subjects in print. |
