Diolch Mhara. I can take on board the positive things you've said about Gwydion here, and I note indeed that he was a single-father. At the same time, I can't get out of my mind, when regarding him, what he and Gilfaethwy did to Goewin, and feel distanced to him as a result. I would have hoped that his subsequent punishment by Math (a wild story!) would have taught him respect for women (I'd like to her a trans understanding of his punishment), but his treating of Blodeuwedd as an object doesn't give me that impression. Maybe you've covered this in another video somewhere, but I'd be interested in your views.

While I was watching the original movie of The Golden Compass, as she was standing there watching “the dust”… my immediate thought was, “That’s Awen!!!”

Fantastic. Thank you for posting and sharing this indepth and easy too understand about a world l share with my grandmother who's language l never spoke.

This is amazing 🤩. Deep in my should I felt that white is associated with death. I never knew why. This makes sense. Woow Your knowledge and storytelling is absolutely fantastic. Thank You

🤍 I adore all things welsh and you ♥️ your content so easy to digest 💚 and I turn make welsh knowledge more assessable , thank you

I'm totally open-minded I love this conversation you guys have

I feel like the gods and the goddess, maybe we're never alive, but the more us humans work with them the more they become alive we feed that energy and that energy becomes alive, for example Hecate, so many people work with her worship her and therefore her energy is alive because we feed that, and the same with these gods and goddess I'm currently working with Cereidwen, and Brigid then winter time it's the Cailleach, but I'm also coming from Christianity and that's been hard

Omg where do you get them all from????

Diolch am hyn x

Thank you to both of you for making this video! Interesting and insightful, especially for someone who is brand new to the world of druids!

I've just ordered Richard Suggett's book. Thank you x

Your book arrived yesterday and I'm looking forward to reading it. I remember in the 60s my Mam took me to see a witch in Hirael, Bangor as my palms were covered in warts. She dipped a needle in a bowl of liquid and pricked each wart. They were gone within a week. I think her name was Mrs Locke. In the 90s I was suffering with psoriasis and my Dad got a salve from a witch near Holyhead in Ynys Mon. I remember it was made from plants and was dark brown. It helped my psoriasis.

Not Welsh, but Geillis Duncan bared her breasts as she shrieked her (false) confession at her witch trial in "Outlander".

I love this conversation thank you all for sharing I have recently found out that my mother's side of the family is Celtic my great great grandma is a Duncan from Scotland my mothers father is British, and my dads father isfrom Germany, I have recently found a interest in Welsh folklore, mythology,

I think it's good to learn all types of magic whether we are going to use it or not it's good to know and it's good to learn so with that being said thank you for sharing this video and I would love to know more on Welsh folk Magic please🖤

I only have two😢😢😢

Oh my gosh I love all of them

Yes, there isnt anything at allllll, I can hardly find anything that I'm satisfied with on Welsh mythology, I can't wait to get your book I'm super excited

Yes !!!!! I'm very curious of the welsh folklore, mythology, and the folk magic practice, my ancestors on my mother's side is Celtic, 😁 however I am a solitary practitioner and it's been pretty hard

I agree I love your accent your voice, I'm from the United States in a small southern town,

Oh my gosh I'm so excited that I finally found your channel, I just started my journey on Welsh folk music

I'm new to the Welsh folk magic practice,

I am interested since I'm directly descended from llewellyn ap gruffydd

Thank you so much for this. I have the chair my Nain received at a chapel Eisteddfod in Bangor in 1928. My great grandfather was a bard who was an ovate at the Wrexham Eisteddfod in 1876. He walked to County Durham to get work as a miner and organised Eisteddfodau in County Durham for the Welsh community. In his 20s he wrote an angry poem about poverty and hunger called Caledi yr Amser.

Loving your posts. Just ordered your book x

Very informative. Thank you so much. I'm planning to go back home to Anglesey to do the coastal walk and visit Bryn Celli Ddu again. Thank you for preserving our heritage.

Really interesting topic and coverage. I have lived in sw Wales for 17 years now so enjoy your focused videos.

I am SSSSOOOO getting BOTH books!!!!! **Smile**

Laughing out loud with my husband. He said a girl can't have too many cauldrons. They're fab 😊

I'm late to this party bit have a book on its way. I was so excited to see.

I thought qi was translated to “winds” same with prana and relates to the element specifically That we have Channels in the body that “wind” moves through and can be utilized using breath and movement-to release stagnation in the physical body therefor relaxing the mind(among many other things)All this is really helpful, and I don’t see why one would need a welsh version so much, if tcm doctors are everywhere and yoga instructors are everywhere. Like if you want to practice something, why not learn about it specifically there’s plenty of elders willing to teach, and not copy/paste it into another culture.

LISTEN BUT DONT TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY U SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF MAN U NEED THE ALLMIGHTY GOD IN YOUR LIFE HE CAN LEAD U OUT OF DARKNESS HE CAN LEAD ANYONE OUT OF ANY DARKNESS THEY ARE IN , YOU ARE A MAN AND UR DRESSING YOURSELF UP LIKE A LADY ITS NOT GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL REPENT AND SEEK LIGHT I PITTY U IM A MAN MYSELF WHAT ON EARTH HAS POSSESSED YOU POOR CHILD UR SOMEBODYS SON .. THE BLOOD OF YAHUSHA IS SUFFICENT U HAVE TO THEN CHANGE YOUR WAYS I WISHH U ALL THE BLESSING IN TH WORLD MATE I HOPEU SEE THE LIGHT BROTHER

I am trying and will get it in Autumn 2024.

WTF?!!!!

It does sound like Welsh curses are less merciful than curses of death or illness

lol I LOVE your channel 😅❤

❤❤❤

I went to wepre park yesterday!!

Cymru diolch

Mor diddorol! rwy'n hoffi dysgu am bopeth cymraeg, diolch yn fawr

There is a welsh stand right at the front of my local Watterstones. I have seen your book there, un-doubtedly I will see your new book there too!

Cauldrons are like Lay's Potato Chips. So Mhara, please repeat after me..."you can't eat just one, you can't have just one, you can't boil in just one." After chanting this for a few minutes, please indulge in purchasing another. One can never have to many cauldrons!

What's the song? I really rather like it!

I love this so much, but I have a genuine question; why are there only white people there? Is it a geographical populace factor? Just curious.

This looks like so much fun 💚

❤️❤️❤️

Hi Mhara I am so glad I found you , I am interested in running a walking group with the aim to teach people how nature inspired Welsh folk law and Faries ect..I will follow you to learn more , do you know of any books as well as your own ? Thanks Ness

A year ago since i was with you all there, fabulous memories. Heuldro'r hâf hapus iawn i chi gyd!

❤

I've read the Patrick Ford translation, but I'm tempted to buy the Charlotte Guest version that's illustrated by Alan Lee, just for the pictures
