EDITORS COMMENTS
Bwca r Trwyn," or the "Long-nosed Goblin of Trwyn," is a fascinating figure from Welsh mythology and folklore. This enchanting image from the Mary Evans Picture Library depicts a woman named Modrib Mary, who is known for her kind and helpful nature towards the supernatural beings that inhabit the Welsh landscape. In this photograph, Modrib Mary is seen putting out a bowl of bread and milk for Bwca r Trwyn, the long-nosed goblin. According to local legend, this helpful goblin would visit farms in the area around Trwyn, a coastal village in Wales, and assist the farmers by protecting their livestock and ensuring a bountiful harvest. In return, Modrib Mary and other local farmers would leave out offerings of milk and bread for the goblin as a gesture of gratitude and goodwill. The long-nosed goblin, or Bwca r Trwyn, is described as having a long, curved nose, pointed ears, and a mischievous grin. He is often depicted wearing a cap or hat and carrying a staff. The goblin's long nose is said to have the ability to detect the presence of thieves or intruders, making him an effective protector of the farm. This historical photograph not only captures the essence of Welsh folklore and the belief in the supernatural, but also highlights the strong connection between the people and the land in Wales. The tradition of leaving out offerings for Bwca r Trwyn is still practiced by some farmers in the area today, ensuring that the legend of this helpful goblin continues to live on in the hearts and minds of the people of Trwyn and beyond. This image is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and folklore that can be found in Wales and the importance of preserving and celebrating these traditions. Whether you are a fan of folklore, history, or simply appreciate the beauty of traditional customs, this photograph is sure to capture your imagination and inspire wonder.
