    Just subscribed, I'm an American with Welsh heritage, and I've been starting my journey into Paganism. Your videos have been very helpful and inspirational, thank you for helping me learn more about my heritage.

    I'm really happy I found your channel. It's really hard finding stuff for Welsh Celtic paganism, and you seem really well informed about it. I definitely hope you keep making videos, because I'm definitely going to keep watching them!

    Could you translate the Coelion Cymru?? You're the perfect person to do it 💗

    Thank you for making these videos. Welsh paganism is scarce. You are doing a wonderful job by spreading it mainstream.

    Diolch yn fawr!!! I am also reading Caitlin Mathews' "Mabon and the Guardians of Celtic Britain" for her deep understanding of the patterns and recurring characters in the stories of the Mabinogi. In her next book she also discusses the Welsh Goddesses in their varied roles and manifestations as the Goddesses of Sovereignty......in the Mabinogi and Arthurian lore. I just got your book and the Sioned Davies version of the Mabinogi. It is so nice connecting as I am far away from Wales in Hawaii and there is no one to share these fascinating subjects with. I am trying to learn the prayers to Rhiannon in your book in Welsh. A wonderful way to learn the language thru stories...!!!❤

    I have a few of them books, and some on my tbr wishlist ready to be well read and loved. I don’t speak welsh, but learning! Would love to find a copy of Coelion cymru for when I’m fluent... (maybe you could translate it 😉 ) and Richard suggett is on my radar for when I hunt through second hand bookshops in hay on wye (once I’m out of local lockdown of course) 😂

    Definitely added most of these titles to holiday/birthday wishlists as they are close together!
    The last title I searched for on Amazon and found a private seller asking over $1,000 for an ‘acceptable’ copy...wild, to say the least

    I just bought all of the books (except Coelion Cymru as I am not a Welsh speaker) and can't wait for them to arrive! You can never have enough books in my opinion :D I am loving your videos (I only just found you today) and send you bright blessings from an English (with a sprinkling of Scottish and Romany) crone :)

    Thank you so much for this, and helping me to feel included after nearly a year of being told it was all closed (which I completely understand why) to me. Just for a bit of context, when I decided to start researching and knowing more about my ancestry (Welsh and English) I knew I wanted to learn from those in the culture. However, each time I tried I was told because I am not living in the culture (I'm American) then I had zero right to learn about it unless I was there. As much as I wish I could live in the land of my ancestors to truly experience it, I do not have the privilege yet. Therefore, I gave up and move on because I did not want to disrespect others but that calling would not go away. After finding your channel, and binge watching, I finally feel like I am in a place that I will not "offend" others for just wanting to learn.

    What do you think about the book Welsh Border Witchcraft by Gary St Michael Nottingham?

    @Ngpicl 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m not sure if it’s useful for anyone outside of the US, but the American Book Exchange (ABEbooks) is a great place for finding used and resale books from individuals or independent bookstores (where I’ve had most luck finding books like these!) and have found a few of the ones mentioned on there as well :)
