BTW, whenever somebody in the J&H fandom mentions Enfield I literally cannot take him seriously ’cos I live in Illinois and back in 1973, there was this whole thing where ppl were spotting some cryptic monster w/ 3 legs, bigggg pink eyes, gray skin, 6-toed pawprints, claws, and weird shriveled limbs that was 4.5 feet tall & could jump 50 feet in a few leaps. It was spotted in Enfield and so they called it The Enfield™ and we used that as, like, fear mongering even though it happened decades ago. I used 2 scratch at my friend’s doors and play banshee sounds on my mama’s phone 2 scare the shit out of them! It was like our version of Bigfoot or whatevs! (Well, actually...the Murphysboro Mud Monster/the Big Muddy Monster is closer 2 Bigfoot but u know what I mean. Also showed up in 1973 and we have a statue of the guy! My grandma/mama remembers ppl panicking abt the Enfield more, tho...)

I am physically holding myself back from rambling abt the Enfield case lmao...there was also the Enfield Poltergiest thing in London back in 1977–1979 but MY POINT IS THAT ANYTIME ANYBODY MENTIONS RICHARD ENFIELD I JUST IMAGE THIS FRIGGING THING IN A TOP HAT W/ A WALKING STICK:

UTTERSON. THERE R MORE CONCERNING BEINGS THAN EDWARD HYDE AND UR COUSIN IS 1 OF THEM, I FEAR...no wonder Hyde backed down after kicking that girl, I would NOT WANNA GET INTO A SCUFFLE W/ THAT THING EITHER.

Can u believe that the most likely explanation behind this sighting is an escaped kangaroo? Does that look like a frigging kangaroo 2 u??? But yea that is 1 of the most likely explanations, artistic renditions b damned...

But yea this is the sole reason I cannot read the book w/ a straight face. Enfield looks like this in my mind. Weirdo...

OH WAIT ALSO THAT REMINDS ME!!! JEKYLL & HYDE R LISTED AS MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES ACCORDING 2 WIKIPEDIA

(I reread this here post after typing it out fully and...uh...I talk 2 much abt completely unrelated mythological & linguistic topics I like even tho the post was just supposed 2 b me giggling abt how I cannot separate the name Enfield from that silly cryptid so I’m putting the tangent under a Read More and saving it as an addition 2 my autism diagnosis, yeppp.)

Technically, Enfield is on there buuuut it’s an entirely different Enfield.

Those r the kind used in heraldic crests & stuff, think this:

But I would b, like, TOTES bereft 2 not mention the fact that the enfield seems 2 b in the same taxon as the onchú, another species of Gaelic (specifically Irish) origin. (I FUCKING LOVE MYTHOLOGY MY FAV CREATURE IS THE EL RAMIDREJU which I technically have a J&H au involving but whatevs)

BOOK OF CREATURES, AS PER USUAL, HAS AN AMAZING PAGE ON THIS:

Onchú

Variations: Enfield; Alphyn; Water-dog, Sea-dog The Onchú, “Water-dog”, is a peculiar Irish creature with a long history of phonetic transfo

Water/Sea dog is a broader thing in general but this article specifically refers 2 this exact beast and also BOOK OF CREATURES IS THE BEST WEBSITE EVER. IT HAS SO MUCH GOOD MYTHOLOGY INFO AND, LIKE, LINGUISTIC DEEP DIVES I LOVE IT SO MUCH DHWBRHSKNWNFKSJE

If u look into things, Celtic & specifically Gaelic maritime culture(s) serve as the root of a lot of rly cool mythology like selkies, banshees, kelpies, the each-uisge...u can rly see how the more thalassic & pelagic regions they worked in influenced their folklore. It is SOOOO GODDAMN INTERESTING I LOVE IT. They even have a word 4 this: Dùthchas na Mara!

Dùthchas is a bit of a hard word 2 translate into English literally—smth like a deep belong or connection 2 the natural environment, sometimes on a spiritual level, but I’m still learning Scottish Gaelic so I’m probs a wee bit off—but the phrase „Dùthchas na Mara“ itself is usually translated as „a sense of belonging to the sea“ and refers 2 the connection between a coastal community and the water, WHICH, AGAIN, IS VERY PROMINENT IN GAELIC AND WIDER CELTIC HISTORY, and it is even the name of a project started observing this kinship! Irc, it was used 4 conservation conflicts but blehhhh it has been 2 long since I checked that out. I totes recommend checking it out if that kinda stuff interests u!!!

It also dives (haha, water pun!) a good bit into Traditional Ecological Knowledge or TEK, which is just a fancy word 4 the special knowledge a community gains from interacting intimately w/ certain parts of the world around them.

OOH, OOH, BY THE WAY! SOME OF OUR FAV WEBSITES 4 RESEARCH R ACADEMIA & RESEARCH GATE AND THEY SO HAPPEN 2 HAVE PUBLISHED WORKS ON THIS EXACT PROJECT:

Duchas na Mara/Duthchas na Mara/Belonging to the Sea

On the Gaelic speaking islands of Arranmore (Donegal, Ireland) and Barra (Outer Hebrides, Scotland) the fishermen believe that their livelih

I would add more links 2 other sites & resources but I am whupped rn...

Anyhow yea. Uh. This post got kinda outta hand I just got excited since, like, our birthday is tomorrow and I’ve been in a pretty good mood and this came naturally so...yea! Sry. :3
