The Horned Ones, were the tallest of the Aboriginal Tribes of Ancient Britain.

With an average height of a little over 6 feet (about 2 metres), they big and brawny, with the sort of ‘Big-Boned’ physique, known as mesomorphic.

They had large fleshy faces with comparatively low foreheads, and big bushy eyebrows, that gave them a rather intimidating appearance.

Their Totem Animal was a Kine, which was the woodland ancestor of modern Cows.

Kine were large red-haired animals with big horns... So our big friends, waxed up their eyebrows into impressive horns, in honour of their animals.

In those days we didn’t have tribal names ( we didn’t need them ) so we Elves, called them The Horned Ones.

We always found them very pleasant and friendly, and were very impressed with their strength.

However, they didn’t seem to be as psychic as us.... We could find sacred power spots in the landscape, simply by responding to the feel of the place.... and had no difficulty in finding the place again in the future.

Whereas, The Horned Ones, needed to mark the place with huge megalithic stones in order to find it again.... We thought this a bit eccentric; but their stones have stood the test of time and all over our islands, you’ll find sacred sites marked in this way.

Some sites have big impressive structures like Stonehenge, and some are wide circles like the Rollright Stones, and yet others are just simple Standing Stones, or horizontal Ley-Cross Markers like the one in the picture.

Where they got the stones from, has always been a mystery to us, as we never saw them moving them or erecting them... and modern scientists are still no nearer to the truth.

The Celts, we’re a bit frightened of them, because of their size ( they were as big as the Celts ), and called them Goblins; which was a rude word to them, that roughly translates as ‘Big Bastards’.

The Celts used them, and the other Aboriginal Tribes as ‘Bogeymen’ to frighten their children into behaving themselves, and have been doing it ever since.

The bigger Goblins became Hob-Goblins, and were considered very scary.

Later, in the middle ages, when they were outlawed Wild-Folk like us, they also got called Boggarts and Ogres, and had to keep their heads down and not draw attention to themselves.

In all the Myths and Fairy Stories, they were cast as villains; to be outwitted by the Celtic Hero.
This was probably their own fault as they often adopted the image of being ‘a sandwich short of a picnic’ as a protective disguise.

This was quite wrong, of course, as they really were the salt of the earth, with a nice friendly character similar to Obelix in Asterex the Gaul, BFG in the Big Friendly Giant, or even Shrek.

More about the other tribes to follow soon... as soon as I've worked out the spelling, LOL... so Bookmark this page so that you can find it again. See you soon!
