Mythôn — Ceffyl Dŵr, the Water Horse

The tide that answers to no one

The last of the five out of the mist. The Ceffyl Dŵr is Welsh through and through — beautiful, untameable, and entirely its own.

Mythôn Ceffyl Dŵr design — a low-poly water horse in teals and deep sea blues printed on black fabric with the gold Mythôn wordmark

The Ceffyl Dŵr is the most Welsh of the five — the water horse of the mountain streams and the Menai tide, glowing as if lit from within, never to be bridled and never to be ridden twice.

In the old tales it is a warning: climb on its back and it will carry you into the deepest pool or dissolve to mist beneath you. But warnings have another side. The Ceffyl Dŵr belongs to itself completely. No rider, no rein, no fence.

That is the spirit the Mythôn telling keeps. The last of the five to step from the mist, it is the one for people who have spent too long being agreeable — a reminder that you were never meant to be tamed.

Its traits are freedom, depth, mystery and self-possession. Wear Ceffyl Dŵr if the tide in you answers to no one.

The eye on the chest is cut like deep water; the horse on the back breaks into teals and sea-blues against the black. Made to order on Ynys Môn.
