Welsh Fairy Book (Thomas)
The Stray Cow
...the neighbourhood of the lake was haunted by a band of elfin ladies.
I had no idea that elves had animals, very interesting!
but no one was favoured with more than a passing glimpse till an old farmer ... had the good luck to catch one of the Gwartheg y Llyn, or kine of the lake, which had fallen in love with the cattle of his herd.
Well, I do believe we have found a lady of the lake, or a river goddess....
Never was there such a cow, never such calves, never such milk and butter and cheese...
he saw the elfin dame, with the cows and their calves formed in a circle round her, leisurely descending mid-lake. They disappeared...
are you kidding me? a herd of cows, just disappearing into the lake? I am going to have to say I think that the lake is a stargate portal. like lake Nemi that is sacred to the triple goddess Diana of the hunt, Diana's mirror.

Never was there such a cow, never such calves, never such milk and butter and cheese...
Because the food is divine! I don't think the cow is actually a normal cow, but a deity, a sacred deity who may have shapeshifted? Hathor?
...a piercing cry awakened the echoes of the hills and made the welkin ring. The butcher's arm was paralysed ...
Very interesting magic here, with use of sound. Clearly this is one of the maidens of the lake if not the lady herself.
No sooner were these words uttered than the elfin cow and all her progeny to the third and fourth generation were in full flight towards the lake....
interesting spell
"Come thou, Einion's Yellow One,
Stray-horns, the Particoloured Lake Cow.
And the hornless Dodyn,
Arise, come home."
Stray-horns, the Particoloured Lake Cow.
And the hornless Dodyn,
Arise, come home."
I have no idea what any of this means, I will have to do some looking....
