The Truth about the Aboriginal Folk of Britain___Part Six
Read More
The second group of Aborigines who shared the ancient WildWood with us before the first Celtic Invasion, were small like us.
They were short and stocky, with the standard physique known as an Endomorph.
The ones that lived in our area, had a Beaver as their Totem Animal, for they dwelt along our rivers; but in other areas they preferred the sea and had the Sea Otter as their Totem Animal.
They were great swimmers, having a layer of fat under their skin that kept them warm in the cold water. And, of course, their favourite food was fish.
Their dark ‘mousy’ hair was very thick and shaggy; and they had so much body hair, that the Celts took them to be animals rather than humans.
With low foreheads, a thick ‘one-piece’ eyebrow that went from temple to temple, and a beard that started just below their eyes; they looked very ‘Wild’.
Because they didn’t wear shoes like us, we noticed that the hair on their legs, continued down their feet, with curly tufts on their toes.
Of course, whenever details like this get passed down on the generations, people often jump to conclusions and form their own interruptions of the words used.
The Celts called them Gnomes, because they lived in underground houses; a bit like their Beavers.
Later they got all sorts of names, including Woodwose, Wooser, Ooser, and Wild Man of the Woods.
Many people still carry their genes to this day... Just look about you.
More to come... Please stay tuned!
The second group of Aborigines who shared the ancient WildWood with us before the first Celtic Invasion, were small like us. Their height was about five feet ( approximately 1.5 metres ).
They were short and stocky, with the standard physique known as an Endomorph.

With low foreheads, a thick ‘one-piece’ eyebrow that went from temple to temple, and a beard that started just below their eyes; they looked very ‘Wild’.
Their whole body was covered in curly hair, giving them a furry look, so we called them the Furry Folk.
You’ll often see their descendants on the beach sunning their hairy backs.

By this, I don’t mean that they had furry toes like a dog; in fact, they were just like a lot of people who have hairy backs to their hands, and also have hairy tops to their feet.

Tolkien said they had hairy feet so in the film of his book, they appear to be wearing fur-covered wellies.
The Celts called them Gnomes, because they lived in underground houses; a bit like their Beavers.
J.R.R.Tolkien made them famous as Hobbits.
Later they got all sorts of names, including Woodwose, Wooser, Ooser, and Wild Man of the Woods.
