I've had enough experience over the woods to want to give a certain spirit a name? My description of it is large dark spirit in the woods, is there a Brythonic equivalent? Megli Widusedonos: 'He who dwells in the Wood' Deiwos Maros Dubucaitas: 'Great God of the black wood' Thanks, Megli. I think I'll go with Widusedonos, it seems appropriate. How do I pronounce that?

as to naming 'new gods' i think taking on a brythonic name for them as being a descriptive title works well as megli has done above. the thing is; i dont know why that is better than simply using the english title - perhaps its because it adds 'something' to it, takes it from being the normal language we use everyday and makes it in to something different. and be being different it makes it more important, something special, maybe in terms of removing it from the profane and making it sacred. I think giving a British name gives the god a name beyond name.

Wid rhymes with 'lid' u as 'oo' in 'shoo' sed as 'said', slightly extended in the vowel on like 'on' os like 'oss'
The stress is one the -on-: wid-u-sed-ON-os.
