One of the greatest joys of exploring the Welsh landscape is that history, geography, culture, language, place names, literature, and the stories of the oral folk tradition are all one. I have never seen a better illustration of that unity than this lecture. Diolch yn fawr iawn!

Really interesting. A couple of years ago after reading about Ceridwen, I came to the same point places intuitively. I definitely don’t know the stories well enough, but where those staves were, definitely something that came into my ideas. Really cool. Thanks!!

Croeso. If there's anything you'd like me to cover in particular just let me know.

This is a fab documentary Gwilym.... especially considering the Taliesin walk you took us on, back a few years. It changed my life! I am often reminded of the old folk tradition, that if you spend a night on certain mountaintops (I heard it in connection with Cadair Idris) you will emerge on the following morning, either mad, or a poet.

Clumsy Gwion, the cauldron tips, distilled awen on his lips. Through this world and the other, runs the boy chased by the mother. "Oh, Ceridwen, stop your messing, I've reborn now as Taliesin!"

I'm undoubtedly missing the point and the drama of the tale, but whenever I hear this story I wonder what happened to Afagddu, Ceridwen's ugly son. What life did he make for himself? Google hasn't provided any authoritative answers. (And in one version that I read, the cauldron breaks and poisons the land... did the land heal?)

In the BooK of Taliesin we find hints of a variation on the tale where he somehow does get to drink the potion of inspiration and become a great enchanter-bard. Beyond that, we only have the 16th century tale. Although he does have some significance as outlined in this video. Morfran is the other name for Afagddu: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K8NVMCJxITk.html
