[edit]

The beheading is a specifically Celtic feature. The connections of this scarcely Christianized water-faery need not be stretched to Arethusa: the "Lady of the Lake," who spirited away the infant Lancelot and raised the child, was such a water nymph. For other European water sprites dangerous to humans, especially men, see Lorelei, Nixie, Melusine. I would add this material to the article, were it not for contentions that always seem to accompany Gaelic Christianity. --Wetman 23:10, 10 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
