Being of the Month
Yan-gant-y-tan
Breton will-o-the-wisp, native to the department of Finistère. It is said to be distinguished from other large hairy woodland men by the five candles in its right hand. A quick twist of the palm and one sees a wheel of fire. It is bad luck to see him unless you bribe that bogeyman: just leave a small bag of gold coins unattended and Fire John will grab it and disappear.
