Publisher's summary

An authentic guide to the Welsh magical bard tradition

The witch goddess Cerridwen is the focus of devotion and reverence among witches and pagans around the world. This book traces Cerridwen's roots through layers of history and myth, and it provides hands-on exercises and visionary rites to help you realize her immeasurable power in your own magical practice.

Based on years of intensive research by celebrated Welsh Druid Kristoffer Hughes, this wonderful work shows you how to evoke the magic of ecstatic poetry and song as you join the lineage of magical bards who have explored the secrets of Awen and Cerridwen's cauldron of inspiration. You will also discover first-ever English translations from ancient Welsh manuscripts as well as Kristoffer's powerful approach to contemplative journeying, working with sigils, and creating an altar. With rituals for initiation, affirmation, and clarity, this deeply poetic book explores the transformative energies of the goddess of witches.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

excellent book

ait wasn't what I expected, and yet was pleased at the information on the history of the bards and other Welsh information. I liked the information on Cerridwen and very pleased with info on the Awen and related material. I bought the book so I could see what the words were that were being said. I'll probably listen and look along with some sections again.

Well Informed and Inspirational

This book is at once well researched and scholarly, while also being down to earth and practical. While I am not a devotee of Cerridwen, I do honour her and I loved the background and discussion this book provided.

Educational & Inspiring

A wonderful history behind the cultural and spiritual influences of Cerridwen. Clearly and poetically explained you will no doubt feel a direct connection to the goddess in this book. I’ve been inspired to seek more knowledge and improve my daily practices.

Entertaining, Thoughtful and Inspiring

I really enjoyed this book . I will not go into every specific reason. I will however say that I now have a much boarder appreciation of Welsh culture , myth and language. Cerridwen certainly appears to be evolving with the ages into become a fully fleshed goddess of our time and perhaps an inspirational pathway away from our indulgent, self destructive current era.
