	Gwawl mab Clud: a Cymric Mabinogion god (Light)
		Gwawl mab Clud is known from the Mabinogi of Pwyll Pendefig Dyfed where he was the Pwyll's rival for the hand of Rhiannon.
		Rhiannon then tells Gwawl that the feast prepared this night is for the men of Dyfed alone, but a year hence a new feast would be prepared and on that night she would become Gwawl's bride.
		The injustice perpetrated on Gwawl by the house of Pwyll is later avenged by Llwyd mab Cilcoed who places the seven cantrefs of Dyfed under a charm in the Mabinogi of Manawyddan mab Llŷr.

	The Myth of Rhiannon
		When Gwawl is in the midst of feasting and carousing you must enter dressed in shabby clothes and with the bag in your hand.
		Wear a hunting horn around your neck, and when Gwawl is securely in the bag sound the horn, and let that be the signal to your horsemen.
		Gwawl son of Clud set out for the feast that had been prepared for him.

	Lord Pwyll
		Rhiannon turned to Gwawl, "You shall have as much of your request as I am able to give but as for the preparations and the feast, I have already given them to the troops of Dyved and so a year from tonight another feast shall be prepared for you and you shall sleep with me".
		When the time came Gwawl went to the court of Heveydd the Old and was welcomed warmly by all while Pwyll and his ninety nine men waited in the orchard as arranged.
		Gwawl replied "your request is welcome and, if it is reasonable, shall be granted." "It is reasonable Lord, for all I ask is that my bag be filled with food and drink".

	The Legend of Rhiannon and Pwyll!
		Rhiannon asked what Pwyll had done, for he just promised her to the man that her father had wanted her to marry before, his name was Gwawl, and he was wealthy and powerful, and because Pwyll had given him his word, she would now have to marry Gwawl.
		Rhiannon said that when Gwawl treads on the food in the bag, Pwyll should pull the bag over his head and knot it...then sound his horn to call all the knights to the palace.
		Pwyll told Gwawl as planned, that only a man of noble birth and power could fill the bag by pressing the food into the bag with both his feet, and saying that enough had been placed in the bag.

	Rhiannon the Welsh Goddess
		Rhiannon was the daughter of a god, Heyvedd the Old, and she was set to marry Gwawl, another god.
		Gwawl eventually casts an enchantment which makes Rhiannon, her castle, and all that is inside disappear.
		But Rhiannon is now considered the guardian of all those who are forced to speak against themselves, everyone who must repeat a lie so many times that he or she begins to believe it.

		"Ask of Gwawl some food to fill this bag", she explained that the bag would never fill and that he should ask for a man of noble blood to place his feet into the bag so that it would be deemed full.
		Gwawl granted his request and the servants started to fill the bag, however the more they tried to fill the bag the more empty it became.
		Gwawl was confused by this and arose, Pwyll suggested that the only way to fill the bag was for Gwawl to put his feet into it, this he did and Pwll pulled the bag over his head tied it with a slip not and summoned his men with the blowing of his horn.

		Gwawl, however, fared better than we suspect that the badger usually did; for Heveydd the Ancient interceded for him.
		Gwawl consented, and gave sureties, and went away to his own country to have his bruises healed.
		This country of Gwawl's was, no doubt, the sky; for he was evidently a sun-god.

	Rhiannon
		Though promised in marriage to Gwawl Ap Clud, a minor sun deity, she was determined to have Pwyll.
		Gwawl followed them, but Pwyll caught him up in a bag and then tried to have him slain by telling everyone he was a badger.
		In her guise as a death Goddess, Rhiannon could sing sweetly enough to lure all in hearing to their deaths, and therefore she may be related to Germanic stories of lake and river faeries who sing seductively to lure sailors and fishermen to their deaths.

		Gwawl is given as a daughter of the 4th century northern king Coel Hen.
		Mention of her survives primarily because she is also said to be the wife (or, less reliably, the mother) of Cunedda Wledig.
		There is no reason not to interpret her name as identical to the common noun gwawl "light, brightness, radiance, splendor".

		Gwawl granted his request, but no matter how much food was put into the bag, it never became full.
		Exasperated, Gwawl asked whether it would ever be filled, and Pwyll admitted that it would not, unless a nobleman were to tread down the contents of the bag with both of his feet.
		Gwawl got up and stepped into the bag, and Pwyll quickly pulled up the sides of the bag around Gwawl and tied it off, trapping Gwawl within.

		Gwawl, however, was still angry at Rhiannon, and one night while she was asleep, he cast a spell over her attendants so they all fell down gently, almost dead with dreams.

		When Gwawl gets tired of seeing all the victuals going in the bag, he asks what's going on and is told it will never be filled until a man of noble birth and great wealth presses the food in with both feet, saying "Enough has been put therein.".
		Well, Gwawl is a haughty lad, and determines to do this, and it works; the bag is no longer bottomless, but he is in the bag, which Pwyll pulls up over him and ties, calling in his warriors, each of which gives the bag (and Gwawl) a blow.
		Gwawl promises to quit his claim to Rhiannon and to not seek revenge, and is set free.

		Then Pwyll quickly pulled up the sides of the bag so that it was over Gwawl’s head and tied a knot in the top so he couldn’t escape.

		Any regret Kelyn might have felt dissipated with the substance squishing between her toes as she joined Gwawl in his nook—a set-back with an unusually flat surface for the back wall, a solid slab of upthrust rock with enough air currents playing around it to keep the candle on the verge of snuffing out.
		She crowded in close to him—shoulder to adolescent shoulder, thigh to thigh, unself-conscious about it as were they all.
		But he didn't, because he was just as curious as she, in a land where learning every aspect of one's surroundings could mean the difference between life and death, and learning a cave meant the potential discovery of gold or silver nuggets—and an escape route if a hunt went bad at its end.
