You may be learning to distinguish instinct from fear, becoming more comfortable with questions that cannot immediately be answered, or exploring your relationship with places and experiences that resist easy interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe initiation does not promise second sight, supernatural abilities, protection from uncertainty, or contact with the Gwyllion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt offers a place from which to begin listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Gwyllion in Welsh Folklore\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccounts of the Gwyllion belong particularly to the mountainous landscapes of Wales, where they are described as female beings associated with lonely roads, wild country and difficult weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescriptions vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome accounts portray solitary old women encountered by travellers; others speak more generally of female fairies or spirits of the mountains.
