These are the lakes we discussed and some information from Siôn: Llyn Cynwch https://nannau.wales/folklore/the-fairies-of-llyn-cynwch/ https://faeryfolklorist.blogspot.com/search/label/Wales?m=0
Llyn Barfog/The Bearded one's lake (literally=Bearded Lake) The green clad fairy women and the white cow story …http://faeryfolklorist.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-fairy-women-of-llyn-barfog-north.html?m=0
Llyn Hafod y Llyn (the green wisp experience) It happened around two miles from Siôn's brother’s house near a picturesque lake nestled in a forest.
Llyn Hafod y Llyn (The Lake of the Lake Lodge/Shelter!!) ‘Hafod’ is the word for a place on high land where the shepherds would stay in summer while tending their sheep. ( ‘Haf’=Summer ‘Fod’ = place/to be).
Lastly, the story of the circle of beings that I was trying to remember actually happened in Westmeath, Ireland...It's in Dermot MacManus's The Middle Kingdom. It is set at Clonmillan Hill. The circle of beings move in a similar way to that reported by Siôn. In addition, just like report from NW Wales, this area was also known to be connected with Otherworldly experiences. The description of bagpipes suggest music may have also played an element. Check out the story on the shownotes at scarlettofthefae.com
