Cornish woman, United Kingdom, by One & All: The Many Faces of Cornwall

[tykkiduw]

The Ragadaziow (forefathers) Guisers performing the trial of the Beast of Bodmin- a mock trial in the style of a mummers play dating back to 1549. The Bodmin Play (An Gwary Bosvenna) sees the beast captured and paraded in the streets- St Petroc’s Ossery Casket watching over the event.

The Beast of Bodmin is not just a recent cultural reference but refers to the local tradition of a dragon at Halgavor. Legend states that St. Petroc removed a splinter from the creature’s eye and thus tamed it. Historical records of Riding Day Revels refer to people being tricked into searching for and fighting the dragon. - Bodmin, Kernow

Calan Mai hapus i chi! Happy May Day to you all!

Today is a very auspicious day for some of my research (that I'm keeping under wraps for now)- but I can tell you it relates to the term Cadi (analogous to Queer in Welsh- see screenshot below of GPC)

Cadi is a term that has existed in Welsh since the 1600s. Its usage is often vague but over time it has been used to describe effeminate boys, masculine girls and people who would be called Intersex today.

The term has been used as a catch-all for anything breaking gender norms.

Cadi derives from the girls name Catrin and was often used as a pejorative towards Queer people. A similar given name-based term in English is Nancy.

Male maypole dancers dressed in women's clothes were sometimes called Cadi, hence why today it has been on my mind!

Cornish Montol masker, United Kingdom, by Greg Martin

1st Feb 2023

The entire trip around the Gump was made with the aim to see this stunner! After watching Enys Men at the Poly, there were too many jokes to be made about meeting a celebtrity. The entire Hike meant I was the only one out there for the majority of the day. Cornovia has dissapointingly little to say on Boswens' Menhir, but it's name is from Cornish & is translated as 'the winds dwelling', which is very cool. It definitely lived up to that - the wind was certainly bracing.
