It appeared at first as if a mole, the soil disturbed, the clutching hands breaking through grass, and root. The musty smell of earth, damp weeds and decay. The coblyn, a gnome-like creature from Welsh folklore, appeared blinking in the midday sun. Taking inspiration from his legend, our hedge witch has created several 10ml vials of coblyn’s musk essential oil. Infused with herbal, earthy notes that imitate a life spent underground. These are only available on our website for £9.00 with free local postage, £3.15 UK postage and standard rate EU and US shipping

But where do these coblynau come from?

“The earliest recorded report we have is from November 1656, when a John Lewis of Glascerrig in Ceredigion mentioned mine sprites in a letter, “little statured, about half a yard long,” and said that- at that very moment- miners on his land were following the sounds of faery digging in pursuit of a rich vein. Four centuries later, in 1883, they were reported still to be working at Talargoch lead mine in Flint, pursuing lodes across the countryside. They were also mentioned on Anglesey in 1908.”
