## ๐ 1. **The Gwyllion โ Spirits of Mist and Mountain**
### **Folklore**
The *Gwyllion* (pronounced roughly *GWILL-yon*) are among the oldest supernatural beings in Welsh lore.
They are **female spirits of the wild places** โ mountains, forested passes, and lonely paths.
They appear as **old women wrapped in grey**, sometimes with wild hair, sometimes weeping or laughing at travelers.
They donโt always harm people โ but they **confuse**, **mislead**, or **terrify**.
Travelers lost in fog might hear footsteps behind them, or see a flickering shape just beyond the edge of sight.
The Gwyllion thrive in **liminal spaces** โ twilight, fog, mountain mists โ where the mortal world thins.
**Protection:** Welsh folklore says that turning your pockets inside out or staying calm could drive them away. They feed on fear and confusion.

### **Mythic Retelling โ โThe Grey Woman of Cader Idrisโ**
In the mists of Cader Idris, where the mountain folds into dark forest, there walks a woman none dare follow.
They say she was once a shepherdโs wife, waiting for her husband lost in the high mist. When she cried his name, the wind answered, and the mist took her voice โ and her form.
Now, when fog creeps down from the peaks, her laughter rides it.
She calls to the lost with a voice like kin, and when they answer, she leads them astray โ not from malice, but from longing.
Sometimes, if the moon is clear, travelers say she weeps instead, and the path home appears again, shining silver through the mist.
Thus, she is both **guardian and deceiver**, her sorrow bound to the mountain forever.

## ๐ 2. **The Tylwyth Teg โ The Fair Family**
### **Folklore**
The *Tylwyth Teg* (โFair Folkโ or โFair Familyโ) are the **Welsh faeries** โ beings of beauty, song, and danger.
They dwell in **forests, hollows, lakes, and underground halls**, emerging by moonlight to dance in rings of mushrooms and dew.
Theyโre not tiny winged creatures like in Victorian art โ theyโre **otherworldly people**, radiant, graceful, but not human.
To mortals, they can be generous or cruel. They might bless a kind farmer or **steal away a child** to raise in their hidden realms.
Time flows differently in their world โ a night among them might be a hundred years outside.
### **Mythic Retelling โ โThe Dance Beneath the Rowan Treesโ**
Once, in a green valley between two hills, there lived a harper named Meirion who loved the forest more than the hearth.
One midsummer night, he followed the sound of distant music โ flutes, laughter, the soft ring of bells.
Under the rowan trees he saw them: **the Tylwyth Teg**, dancing in a circle of moonlight.
Their faces were bright as starlight, their garments like mist and dew.
He played his harp, and they turned to him, smiling. โPlay for us,โ they said, โuntil the dawn.โ
He did โ and when the first sunlight broke, he found himself alone in the glade. His harp was rotted, his clothes were rags, and his village was gone.
A hundred years had passed.
But when the wind moved through the rowan leaves, it still hummed the tune he had played for the Fair Family that night.

We believe in money, no false weights, incorruptible trust,
Freedom from the chains, no masters of dust.
Truth canโt be broken, itโs coded, unshaken,
Ledger like the Word โ eternal, un-fakinโ.
A shield for the honest, yeah, a trap for deceit,
Block after block, yo, the recordโs complete.
Bitcoin standinโ firm, canโt bend, canโt fall,
Hard money in the system, justice for all.
