Much like the Kelpie and the Brag, these Celtic water horses found in the Scottish Highlands and in some parts of Ireland do not like humans. Unlike the Kelpie, the each uisge prefers lochs and sea inlets. The each uisge takes the appearance of a beautiful horse and beckons for a traveler to mount. If he does, he will be taken on a wild ride ending up underwater, where he will drown and be devoured by the each uisge.

Catreus
by Dr Alena Trckova-Flamee Ph.D.
Catreus was one of the sons of the King Minos of Crete and his wife Queen Pasiphae, and the brother of Acacallis, Androgeus, Ariadne, Glaucus and Phaedra. He is known mainly through his children: his daughters Aerope, Apemosyne, and Clymene (4), and his son Althaemenes, whom he all loved very much. But when an oracle predicted him that he would be killed by one of his children, he became suspicious and he ended the relation with them.
Dievturiba
by Aldis Putelis
A recent Latvian religious system belonging to the group of the so-called “new religions” and neo-paganism.
Established in 1925 by a group of artists and men of letters. The system is based on Latvian folklore, mainly folksong texts, using also the data of other genres and much comparative material. It is claimed that this is the actual ancient religion of Latvians, having preserved much of the original Indo-European ritual and mythology, as well as culture and worldview. It is admitted that it is re-organized for more convenience in
modern situation.
A Druid
A Druid came upon a place, they say, were magic lived
He looked in awe and reverence upon this site he’d found
And called upon all brethren
To come and gather round
Come see the magic, feel the air
It tingles in the dew
Its here we build our temple friends
The rocks and stones we’ll hue
And so it was with hands and backs
The Druids set to labor
For years they toiled and sweated much
To build for Gods they favour
The others looked in disbelief and said these men are mad
But Druids knew their cause was just and must always be defended
So on they toiled and toiled both day and night
Until their task was ended
They died a long long time ago
But their legacy remains
Although its now in ruins
We know it as Stonehenge
