@Alan. Thank you for that information, Alan, it is fascinating. Does that mean Annwfn features in folk tales from Celtic countries besides Wales, or do other countries have other names for this Otherworld?
@franhunni Well, Annwfn is its Welsh name but there are several names for it in Irish, of which probably the best known is Tir na nOg and which features as such in several of the Irish myths. Several of the Irish heroes pay a visit to it or its counterparts. I think probably the general phrase Celtic Otherworld helps distinguish the place or places from the attempt by the church to turn them into a version of hell.
