Abstract (cited)
[FR] Le Bassin de la Severn constitue une région riche en histoire séculière et reli¬gieuse, en archéologie, mythologie, folklore et littérature. En rapprochant personnages et événements de la littérature galloise médiévale, la tradition orale d’autres parties de la région, l’iconographie des principaux sites religieux de l’endroit, l’histoire de deux tribus celtiques importantes, la numismatique, les croyances et traditions d’un monde celtique et indo-européen plus vaste, et en prenant en considération les deux phénomènes naturels majeurs de la région - le mascaret de la Severn et les thermes de Bath - il devient possible d’entrevoir ce qu’ont pu être les croyances religieuses de ceux qui habitaient le Bassin de la Severn, remontant peut-être jusqu’au Néolithique. Le tout donne l’impression d’un équilibre entre le masculin et le féminin, entre soleil et lune ; mais aussi le pouvoir des eaux, salées et douces.
[EN] The Severn Basin is an area rich in history, secular and religious, archaeology, mythology, folklore and literature. Correlating characters and events from mediaeval Welsh literature, traditional tales from other parts of the region, the iconography of the major religious sites in the area, the history of two important Celtic tribes, numismatics, beliefs and traditions from other parts of the Celtic and Indo-European world, and observing the two major, natural phenomena of the area - the Severn bore and the thermal springs at Bath - it may be possible to get a glimpse of the religious beliefs of those who inhabited the Severn Basin, perhaps as early as the Neolithic. The main impression is one of balance, between masculine and feminine, sun and moon, and the power of the waters, both salt and fresh.
