    I'm so impressed with your beautiful artwork. The colours, the design - just so very rich and detailed. You are truly a master artist.

    It's clear that you have been thinking about myths and cultural movements for a long time - you've made brilliant connections between Celtic and Greek and Roman stories - these people were inter-related anyway - execellent discussion!

    I'd say you nailed it. We also call this teaching Astro Theology spelled as one word often and it can be found in every religion and culture, because of farming... Thank you for sharing!

    Oh wow this is amazing. I only recently discovered I have significant Welsh ancestry and have been using it’s mythology as a way to orient myself around cultural context. This was soooo helpful. Once you got to the 9:00 mark I knew this would be my jam! Lol. Thank you for much needed clarity on this wild personal journey.

    True. The myths have been through romanisation and christanisation when monks began writing about the old pagan ways. Even in France the ancient Gaul, or i should say especially in France since we had earlier romanisation than in Britain.
    I have your drawing in my grimoire when i wrote about Cerridwen. Very interesting. Blessings to you.

      @unepetitecourfleurie6129 thank you. Ireland and Wales have old stories, manuscripts, about their gods and goddesses (though Christianised) written down in the 10th to 13th centuries etc. Does France also? Or is it just the 12th century Arthurian stories, medieval stories of Brittany and Burgundy - are there any writings you can recommend?

      @@theoghamgrove7169 Keltoï - Les légendes des premiers Celtes is a good book…not sure if it's also in english. Also Cesar's account of the gaulish war. Well the transcripted text and it's viewed from the conquérant, so it will be biaised. I like Celtique mythologie from Yann Brekilien (a druidic view). We have the famous Coligny Calendar but then not much else remains. There was a statue of Brigantia (some say it was a Roman Minerva) I believe the Brigantia version which was found by a farmer ploughing his field in Brittany. We have mostly bits and pieces remaining Nemetons, etc. But no such written texts like the Mabinogi. It saddens me that so much was lost and so little remains.

    for me i read the story as a cycle; from earth as a hare to sea as a fish, to sky as a bird, to earth again as a grain. but as the grain he is the potential; everything within it awaiting to become. it mirrors inner transformation and 'magick' as it pertains to such inner transformations.

      @plantman4444 I'm not disagreeing with you, it is both magical transformation and star-lore. The Hanes Taliesin says that Ceridwen worked 'according to the books of the astronomers', and the shape-shifting is illustrated by constellations - as if the night sky was used as a story board to teach magical concepts.

      @@theoghamgrove7169 i don't disagree either. i believe astrology to also have it's roots in inner realisation though. the outer world seems kind of nonsense if not first realised as awareness. it also makes sense to use the sky to teach and learn.

    Love this Thank You, Yuri for all the research you have done and great artwork with it that you create to share with us xx I feel to share my experience when I first arrived in Glastonbury in 1993 for the first time and feeling the truth of the Joseph of Arimathea legend...true that Christianity was not heard of in the First century England in Glastonbury. I believe this is because Joseph of Arimathea and those who traveled with him were fleeing because of religious persecution and did not want to start a religion, just to be free to live as the Essenes that were so feared by the Pharisees and Sadducees..Legend has it, Joseph of Arimathea was known to have sailed to the West Country to mine tin and lead in the Mendips and Cornwall. He was a respected tradesman, befriended by the local Glastonbury, West Country people and Cornish people and Druids of the time. I heard there is evidence of tin from the West Country in the Holy Land. When I first came to Glastonbury and then a couple years later spent time on the Cornwall coast I had clear visions of Joseph of Arimathea and the truth of the holy family traveling seeking freedom from persecution before I heard these legends. Christ never meant for a religion to be started called, Christianity...he was born and compelled to bring to light the control of the Jewish religion over the people of his time. This is my belief and feeling about the legend of Joseph of Arimathea in Glastonbury.

      Elizabeth, with respect, you believe what you want to believe and ignore what you do not want to hear, and that is your choice. All of the tin tradition of the West Country is very late, invention. Romano-pagan temples thrived in Somerset until the 4th century. Christians were burnt and thrown to lions until the 3rd century (because of the Fire of Rome) they would not have been tolerated - every archaeological dig in Glastonbury shows evidence of Roman occupation. The Joseph of Arimathea myth was invented around 1250 AD - I have written all about this in my book 'Glastonbury and the Myths of Avalon', but you choose to ignore all of my research. That's up to you. We'll just have to agree to differ :)

    Hello Yuri,
    I’ve been watching your videos and other posts. The are very clarifying. I always have been very interested in the “Celtic” World , lore …but there are lots of confusion too ( R.Gr.book) because of the different methods. I really start to understand it much better, also because of the explanation of the star law.
    Why does the stirring of the cauldron takes 1 year and one day? I was once at a hand fasting ceremony and there they also talk about one year and one day.
    And at the mayan calendar they have the day out of time.
    Maybe a connection?
    Thanks.

      Thank you Nanda. As you know, a year is actually 365 and one quarter day, so we have a 'Leap Year' every four years. An old way of completing the circle was to say 'a year and a day' because 365 days would not be quite enough, 366 days completes the circle.
