Inktober day 14, I got Scottish 23: Ceasg which is apparently a trout mermaid. So I did a little doodle of exactly that.
The Rumbling Bridge in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. There's a nice lore around the nearby Devil's Mill, which I really like and recommend.
The first one is done with Aquarelles, the second with Ink. Still not sure which technique to prefer for my project (telling and illustrating the lore)
In Celtic myth, bees were regarded as having great wisdom and acted as messengers between worlds, able to travel to the Otherworld, bringing back messages from the gods. In the western isles of Scotland, bees were thought to embody the ancient knowledge of the druids. This led to the Scottish lore of the secret knowledge of the bees, along with the Scots saying “ask the wild bee for what the druid knew.” Highlanders believed that during sleep or while in a trance, a person’s soul left the body in the form of a bee. source

Started playing this dumb man-child in a new campaign. Hopefully he doesn’t get himself killed.

“Rooted in the animism of the pre-Christian Scots, fairy belief was perhaps most truly folkoric of all popular belief systems by virtue of the fact it had never been dispensed from the pulpit or systernatized in texts, but had survived into the seventeenth century through purely oral transmission, handed down from generation to generation at the hearth and in the workplace. It is difficult to gauge the nature and intensity of early modern fairy belief because, with the exception of one slim volume written by Aberfoyle minister Robert Kirk in 1691, and scatcered references in witch records and antiquarian writings, they went largely unrecorded; remaining hidden, to quote Larner's memorable phrase, in the 'secret, uncharted areas of peasant exchange' for a further 200 years before being uncovered and celebrated by nineteenth-century folklorists. But nevertheless, contemporary research is increasingly emphasizing the fact that fairy belief was strong and widespread in the period, with Cowan and Henderson (Scottish Fairy Belief) recently stating categorically that 'What we can prove is that many Scots people, who lived mainly in the period from c. 1450 to c. 1750, had no doubt that fairies actually existed... They were a part of everyday life, as real to people as the sunrise, and as incontrovertible as the existence of God." Isobel's confessions, as we shall see, make it abundantly clear that fairy belief was chriving in seventeenth-century Auldearn.
In early modern Scotland the term 'fairy' seems to have covered a wide range of spirits and supernatural beings who were condemned, or whose existence was disputed, by the church. And among the most controversial of these were 'spirits of the dead'. Although the reformed church taught that the dead were not able re-appear to the living after death, people often claimed that they had seen deceased friends and relatives among the fairies or, less commonly, that a deceased friend or relative was a fairy. Both fairies and the spirits of the dead who consorted with them resembled saints in the sense that they were believed to possess supernatural powers and could be petitioned for a variety of benefits, but they differed from their holier counterparts in that they displayed more moral ambivalence and enjoyed a more ambiguous relationship with Christianity. This dissonance was further reflected in the fact that these categories of spirit did not live in heaven, but in fairyland or 'elphame', where they adopted a strange, simulacrum of human life: feasting under fairy hills, hunting with horses and packs of hounds, and following the fairy king and queen on their nocturnal processions through houses and across the night skies.”
