Alban Eilir is here! Discover the magic of love, dreams, and rebirth at the Spring Equinox.--- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this episode, we celebrate Alban Eilir, the Spring Equinox festival, and explore its deeper meaning through Christopagan Druidry. Traditionally viewed as the rebirth of light, this sacred time marks the balance of day and night, aligning with the mythology of Angus and Ceridwen—gods of love, dreams, and transformation.We reflect on the seasonal cycles, the importance of planting seeds (both physically and spiritually), and how this equinox connects to personal renewal. Charlie shares a powerful experience of connecting with the divine through dreams, inspiring creative rebirth and artistic passion. Meanwhile, Brian discusses the liminal space of this holiday, highlighting its role in transitions and new beginnings.The conversation also touches on the spiritual impact of the recent lunar eclipse, and the powerful energies influencing this equinox. With themes of hope, rebirth, and connection to nature, this episode offers guidance on how to celebrate the season, from honoring songbirds and sacred storytelling to embracing embodied prayer and movement meditation.

The witches are calling upon the divine in this episode of Back on the Broomstick as Laylla and Chelle share ten (give or take) of the gods and goddesses they work with in their magical practice. From the cauldron-stirring wisdom of Ceridwen to the hearty laughter and boundless generosity of The Dagda, they discuss the deities that have shaped their paths, guided their spells, and occasionally smacked them upside the head with a life lesson or two. And in a shocking twist that will surprise absolutely no one, Chelle will, of course, have Hecate on the list.The witches also take a moment to talk about the Blood Moon that graced the skies on March 14th, bringing with it a transformative energy perfect for removing obstacles from your path and maybe a little bit of bringing justice to light. What did this lunar powerhouse mean for the witches, and can you still tap into the full moon energy even after it's passed?Whether you already have deities you work with or are just starting to feel the pull of divine magic, this episode is a mix of history, personal stories, and a whole lot of witchy laughter. Grab your grimoire, pour one out for the gods, and join Laylla and Chelle for a divine discussion filled with magic, mischief, and a little moonlit madness.Song: Ceridwen and Taliesin by Damh the BardCerridwen by Kristopher HughesThe Horned God of the Witches by MankeyGot a question?

This episode we have a famous legend from Wales, featuring the formidable witch goddess Ceridwen, who lives near the shore of Llyn Tegid. The story of Ceridwen's Cauldron is very old and has many different versions, but they all feature her magic cauldron and a fabulous chase filled with transformation - thanks to the magic of Awen. Awen is a Welsh and Breton word for 'inspiration', that magical feeling when your creativity flows beautifully. Think of a time when you have created or been part of something wonderful - maybe a drawing or painting, performing a song or some music, having an idea or telling a story! That creative flow is Awen. And Ceridwen has a recipe for it!

Le Graal se dresse comme l'artefact légendaire par excellence, traversant les âges et les cultures avec une aura de mystère inégalée. Sa présence est omniprésente, que ce soit à travers les péripéties d'Indiana Jones dans "La Dernière Croisade", les quêtes humoristiques de "Kaamelott", ou même les explorations interstellaires de "Stargate SG1". Le Graal incarne une magie singulière, un mystère que nous nous apprêtons à explorer, bien que démêler les fils de sa véritable nature s'avère être un défi de taille.De nombreuses interprétations tentent de cerner sa véritable essence, sa forme, ainsi que sa signification, qu'elle soit symbolique ou magique :Dans le christianisme mystique, le Graal est identifié au Saint Calice, le vase sacré utilisé par Jésus Christ lors de la Cène, d'où l'appellation courante de « Saint-Graal ».Selon les traditions celtiques, le Graal est rapproché du chaudron d'immortalité de Dagda dans les légendes irlandaises, ou encore à celui de la déesse Ceridwen au Pays de Galles, suggérant une origine païenne christianisée dans les récits médiévaux.D'un point de vue ésotérique, le Graal serait une « pierre de connaissance magique », envisagée comme une émeraude tombée de la couronne de Lucifer lors de sa chute, incarnant ainsi la gnose primordiale.Certaines théories le relient au « Sangréal », interprété comme la lignée secrète issue de Jésus et Marie Madeleine, transformant le Graal d'un objet matériel à une généalogie sacrée, une idée popularisée par "Da Vinci Code".Face à cette profusion d'interprétations, il devient crucial de s'ancrer dans une démarche historique et critique pour tracer l'origine des diverses narrations du Graal. Il est essentiel d'analyser les textes et les contextes historiques pour comprendre l'évolution de ces récits et saisir les multiples dimensions qu'offre le Graal, depuis sa représentation en tant qu'objet de quête spirituelle jusqu'à son rôle dans les débats contemporains sur la foi, le pouvoir et la connaissance.Hébergé par Ausha.

There's a saying that goes, “You don't know what you don't know,” and this is especially true when it comes to prepping for birth. If you aren't informed about the different options for your birth, then how can you be expected to make the most informed decisions in your birth! Today, we'll be diving into the key differences between a hospital-led childbirth education class and an independent-led childbirth education class. In this episode of Yoga | Birth | Babies, I am joined by Ceridwen Morris. Ceridwen is an author, childbirth educator and doula who has supported thousands of expectant parents in New York City for over twenty years. She is the author of the forthcoming How to Give Birth (Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, 2025). Morris served on the board of The Childbirth Education Association of Metropolitan New York for five years, and ran the education program at Tribeca Pediatrics for ten years. She has taught at Real Birth, City Births, NYC Birth Prep and Prenatal Yoga Center. As you give this episode a listen, I hope it inspires you to bring questions to your care provider that explore how the birthing experience can be tailored to your preferences, versus you having to conform to hospital policies and protocols.

In this final installment of my interview with Octavia Randolph, author of the hugely popular Circle of Ceridwen saga, a meticulously researched series of 11 books set in 9th century England and scandinavia, we get a sneak peek in her 12th book in the saga,and what she knows at this moment about where her personal throughline is leading her next. She shared: - The absolutely incredible sounding retreat she hosted for readers last year in Gotland, where she now lives and where many of her novels are set - The ninth century style feast–wherever everyone was in period costume–that was the cherry on top of that retreat - Why she looks to Taylor Swift as a creative role model - The big shift she can sense is coming, although she can't say more, but she did mentioned “a possibility of a television series” – and what she's doing to stay grounded as it continues to unfold - The Henry James novel she re-reads each summer - How three cups of coffee is the perfect number of cups of coffee - The lunch she has had nearly every day for nearly 40 years Visit Octavia at octavia.net, or on the Circle of Ceridwen Saga private Facebook group.

This is the second part of my interview with Octavia Randolph, author of the hugely popular Circle of Ceridwen saga, a meticulously researched series of 11 books set in 9th century England and scandinavia. Octavia joined me from her home on Gotland, an island in the Baltic Sea off the coast of Sweden that played a prominent role in Viking history and in several of her books. Today we covered the thoughts, ideas, and attitudes that affect your work, even if you're not fully conscious of it. - How identifying with your characters is great, until you need to write scenes where they face hardship - Octavia gives a gosh-darn masterclass on building a community of readers NOT TO BE MISSED - The testy letter she received from a reader and how she responded - The critical importance of defining success for yourself, and not by looking at what other people have achieved - How writing her books has made her a better person - How she uses runes to stay connected to her characters and consider possibilities in her own life Visit Octavia at octavia.net, or on the Circle of Ceridwen Saga private Facebook group.

This week I'm talking with Octavia Randoplh, a prolific and wildly successful author of historical novels and essays. She's best known for her Circle of Ceridwen saga, a meticulously researched series of 11–soon to be 12–books set in 9th century England and scandinavia. Octavia now makes her home on Gotland, a small island off the coast of Sweden in the Baltic Sea where some of her novels are set and which was an important way station for the Vikings as the traveled East and West from Scandinavia. She is also a devoted needleworker and mosaic artist, and an unabashed cat person. We covered: - Why ‘Viking' isn't really the right word to describe the people from Scandinavia who explored far and wide a millennia and a half ago - How a fascination with physical artifacts from England's early history put her on the path to be a historical fiction author - How she found her way to massive publishing success despite having great agents and getting only rejections from traditional publishing houses - The difference between self-publishing and independent publishing–and a peek inside the cast of folks who make it possible for Octavia to edit and publish her books - How a daily morning walk forms the basis of how she gets her writing done–that, and talking to herself as she writes Visit Octavia at octavia.net, or on the Circle of Ceridwen Saga private Facebook group.

Le Barde Taliesin, souvent comparé à Merlin dans les légendes celtiques, est une figure emblématique de la poésie et de la sagesse. Tout comme Merlin, Taliesin est réputé pour ses connaissances ésotériques et sa maîtrise des arts magiques. Taliesin et Merlin partagent une aura de mystère et d'énigme qui entoure leur personnage. Leurs histoires se croisent souvent, et certaines légendes racontent même des rencontres entre les deux figures légendaires. Comme Merlin, Taliesin est parfois décrit comme un prophète, capable de prédire l'avenir et de révéler des vérités cachées. Leurs rôles de conseillers et de guides spirituels sont également similaires, apportant sagesse et soutien aux rois et aux héros de leur époque. La tradition poétique et magique associée à Taliesin et Merlin a influencé de nombreuses œuvres littéraires et artistiques à travers les siècles. Leur présence est fortement ressentie dans les récits de la légende arthurienne, où leurs noms sont souvent mentionnés aux côtés du roi Arthur lui-même. Que vous soyez fasciné par les histoires des bardes, des mages ou des légendes du roi Arthur, l'histoire du Barde Taliesin est une source d'inspiration inépuisable. Son lien avec Merlin ajoute une dimension supplémentaire à l'intrigue et à la magie des légendes celtiques.

The ancient druids, so folklore tells us, believed the goddess Ceridwen was personified in the moon, and fought a never-ending battle with a Satan-like force for evil with great black wings that inhabited the sun.

Launched by author and journalist Mark Rees in early 2020, this weird and wonderful podcast takes a fascinating look at the country's countless curious subjects by combining decades of research and insights from many books and articles with long-lost tales from dusty old tomes. Ranging from "real life" encounters with the uncanny to fantastical adventures from the Mabinogion, new episodes are uploaded on Thursdays (weekly most of the time, biweekly when book and media deadlines are looming) and feature everything from pesky poltergeists to fire-breathing dragons. Along with the regular stories you can also expect the odd special guest, an occasional "live" ghost hunt, and all sorts of crazy ideas. Seasonal specials include the dark and Gothic Halloween (Nos Calan Gaeaf) traditions of old, to everyone's favourite skulled-skulled Christmas visitor, the Mari Lwyd herself. Dare you explore haunted Wales? Think of it as opening the Welsh The X-Files, along with some tenuous Ghostbusters links!

Avalon calls when it is time for deep transformation & Annah Taylor Phinny's journey with Avalon has been one of deep initiations & anchoring into the medicine of truth. In this episode Annah shares her journey with breast cancer, losing her hair & breast. Being 'exiled' from boarding school after the teachers found out she is a witch. The initiations that have met her on her path. The medicine of Ceridwen. Lady of Avalon & Lady of the Lake. Reclamation of the self & the witch that is within. Weaving yourself back together. The archetype of the witch. Where the Goddess resides within your body. The shadow gateway of the heart. The priestess path. Magic for the good of all. Witchcraft as a practice of healing. The elements. Ladys mirror. The call of Avalon. Annah Taylor Phinny is a spiritual healer and a formally trained Priestess of Avalon, an ancient Goddess tradition based in Glastonbury, England. From an early age, Annah was aware of her sensitive, intuitive nature, but lacked the resources and support to help her understand her gifts. At boarding school, she innocently began to offer nightly “readings” for her classmates—something they relished. Unfortunately, the school did not. Annah's life shifted dramatically and painfully as she was accused of being a “witch,” expelled, and put on medication, causing her to shut down and fear her natural intuitive state. Years of chemically-induced suppression set the stage for a struggle with more complex addictions later. After rehab in her early twenties, Annah began to reacquaint herself with the young girl who “knew things.” Introduced to the legitimacy of her calling by alternative healers and mediums, she began to find her way back to the abandoned teenager who had gone into hiding after the trauma of boarding school. She went on to complete a Master's Degree program in Spiritual Psychology with an emphasis in Consciousness, Health, and Healing from the University of Santa Monica, as well as her three-year training from the Glastonbury Goddess Temple as a Priestess of Avalon. In the middle of her priestess training, at age thirty-six, Annah was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer and began the most transformative journey of her life. Lady of the Lake, Rise: Breast Cancer as a Path to Wholeness through the Eyes of a Priestess of Avalon is the story of her non-linear, multidimensional healing journey. Annah lives in service to Goddess and the remembrance of the divine feminine in all beings. She connects others with their wild and ancient selves through ceremony, retreats, and pilgrimage. She resides in the English countryside with her Beloved Michael and is honored to be second mummy to Mia, who knows that faeries are real. https://www.avaloncalling.co/ladys-mirror https://www.avaloncalling.co. @avalon.calling

Have you heard about the damage being done to our orbital environments by rapidly growing satellite mega-constellations? Writer Ceridwen Dovey discusses her award-winning essay, "Everlasting Free Fall” with Amy. In the essay she writes that, “in the past 2 years, over 1000 new commercial satellites have been shot into low Earth Orbit.” These satellites are altering the night sky and have many consequences for the science of astronomy and our ability to spot potentially life-threatening asteroids. Listen as Ceridwen explains this concerning development, what it means for us, and the mental shift that needs to take place about space. Broadcast on 30 November, 2021.

Ceridwen Dovey and Emily Maguire shed light on their riveting new novels, both electrifying tales of trust and consequences, with Bridie Jabour. A murder mystery and study of modern manners, Ceridwen's Life After Truth tells of former Harvard classmates whose weekend reunion is rocked by the death of a fellow alumnus. Emily is a Miles Franklin Award shortlisted writer whose latest novel, Love Objects, is the insightful, compassionately drawn story of a young woman whose aunt is imperilled by compulsive hoarding. Together, the two discuss the writing process, midlife opportunities (rather than midlife crises), and the power of fiction to generate empathy. “More and more I feel that in fiction we are all rehearsing for real life...it continues to astound me that as humans we have no real way of knowing what is going on in anybody else's mind and yet we still manage to come together and try so hard to communicate between one another, there's something heartbreaking about that. And for me that's what fiction is...it's the most profound tool we have at our fingertips to get into each other's experiences.” – Ceridwen Dovey See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Communing in her dreams with animal spirit guides and contacting gods and goddesses is part of Kat's shamanic dreamwork practice. She begins by describing her childhood nightmares about snakes and how Snake eventually became a powerful spirit guide for her. Kat tells about how her "dark night of the soul" opened her up to reexamine her contract with God. She describes how surrendering can lead to new growth by sharing the Welsh myth of Ceridwen. Kat also reads a story that she created about snakes called, "We Once Were Dragons." We end with a question from Rick about how to identify gods and goddesses in our dreams. Kat suggests it has to do with the "twinkle in the eye" and that the god might show up even as a homeless person. BIO: Katrina Appleby is a Certified Professional Dreamworker and a Mentor for the Institute of Dream Studies. Since the age of four Kat has been aware of the importance and power of dreams and dreamt often about snakes. She finds that it is indeed quite normal to meet Gods, Goddesses and power animals in her dreams. Kat joins us today from the UK. She is passionate about working with people and their dreams, especially with those that feel that they have a bigger purpose and calling and are looking to their dreams to find out which direction to take. You can contact Kat Appleby through her Facebook group page called Giant's Dreamers.

Starting with the passage, "How to Find out What you Need to Know" we stroll through some of the highlights of traveling in the Netherlands.  Do you want to see wooden shoes or windmills, you may like Volendam or Marken. Are you interested in art museums or the famous flower markets in Alkmaar?  Frank will tell us what he thinks about spending time searching out "costumes". Thanks for listening!

This week, Nick and Shannon are talking all about POTIONS! Nick starts with some fun facts about historical potion ingredients (including bugs....among other things). They then discuss how you can use herbal formulary as a foundation for crafting your very own potions, and designing your herbal grimoire.  Since it's officially spooky season, they also have to give a warning about working with poisons unsupervised! They also both discuss murder...these two topics may be related. Shannon does an herbal profile on Foxglove, including a very special spell that calls on this flower to keep your secrets. Fun! Finally, can't talk potions without covering Ceridwen - the underworld goddess, and the keeper of the cauldron herself. To reach these witches, you can email wandsandfrondspod@gmail.com or message them on Instagram @WandsandFrondsPod.

The guest is Ceridwen Dovey. The book is Life After Truth. Ceridwen is an author, essayist and academic. She attended Harvard University on a scholarship where she met Jared Kushner and Natalie Portman. Her brilliant latest novel, Life After Truth, is inspired by her experience of attending the 15 year reunion of her class at Harvard. We talk about tech, machine learning, politics, how people change, an ill fated meeting with George Lucas and about raising children among many other things. This was one of my favourite interviews and Ceridwen is an author everyone should read.

Ceridwen Dovey is a writer of fiction, creative non-fiction essays and profiles. Her books include Blood Kin, Only the Animals and In the Garden of Fugitives.I’ve got Ceridwen’s new novel, Life After Truth, for you and it is fantastically entertaining as well as thought provoking and genre defying.On the eve of their fifteenth reunion five friends return to Harvard University. The school has been formative for the group. As the scene of their fondest memories it has bound them together. Now spread around the world, the excuse of the reunion propels them back towards younger conceptions for themselves.Unfortunately reunions are never limited to friends and the group must confront old flames, bullies and the ubiquitous jerk, who is now the son of the American President.Fred Reese is one of the most despised men in the country, second only to his father, but when he winds up dead - did anyone hate him enough to kill him?Life After Truth leads with the discovery of the dead Fred Reese and seemingly sets up the reader for a detective style mystery as we seek to uncover the truth. Dovey flips these conventions though and propels us back to the beginning of the reunion and into the psyches of the friends;Mariam and Rowan were married after graduation. They’ve bucked the trend and stayed in love.Jomo is charismatic and beautiful, and as a celebrity gemologist gets to see the world.Eloise never left Harvard. As a celebrated professor of hedonics she seems to have an inside scoop on the happy life.Jules was a star when the group met her and she still lives the life of one of the world’s most famous actresses.Back in their old dorms the group are ready to celebrate each other but amidst the triumphs no one can help but look on with some envy at the choices they never made.Life After Truth is an incredibly sophisticated exploration of life and living. Through flashbacks we come to see how the group have grown from their student days, subtly altering themselves at life's various challenges. Thrown into the reunion, however, we see how amongst old acquaintances we remain the sum of our ill-advised youthful moments.The story opens up the mysteries of time and the seeming impossible leap from adolescence into adulthood. Dovey exposes each and every one of us for our grappling insecurity and desire for support. In a world of fake news she challenges us with the possibility that the greatest falsehood are the lies we tell about ourselves.Oh, and the dead son of the president?You’ll have to read on to find out...

Ceridwen Dovey writes fiction, creative non-fiction, and in-depth essays and profiles. Born in South Africa, she grew up between South Africa and Australia, went to Harvard University on scholarship as an undergraduate, and did her postgraduate studies in social anthropology at New York University. Her debut novel, Blood Kin, was shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Award and selected for the U.S. National Book Foundation's prestigious "5 Under 35" honours list. Her second book, Only the Animals, won the inaugural Readings New Australian Writing Award, the Steele Rudd Award for a short story collection in the Queensland Literary Awards, and was co-winner of the People's Choice Award for Fiction at the NSW Premier's Literary Awards.  Her 2018 novel, In the Garden of the Fugitives was longlisted for the 2019 ABIA Awards. Life After Truth, published in 2020, is her latest work.

Did a Welsh witch really invent beer in her magical cauldron? And what macabre part did it play in the funeral traditions of old?Join MARK REES (author of "Ghosts of Wales"/ "Paranormal Wales" etc.) as he goes in search of the often dark and Gothic myths, legends and folklore surrounding the history of beer in this episode of the GHOSTS & FOLKLORE podcast.Considered to be the "national drink of Wales", this frothy beverage has connections with the fantastical tale of Ceridwen and Taliesin, played an important role in funeral processions, and by using the correct bits of folk knowledge hangovers could be avoided.Oh, and did you know that women used to hold secret cheese and beer parties when the men weren't looking? Press play to find out more...Cheers/ iechyd da!

The Brown family's (and Milawa's) contribution to Australian cheese cannot be underestimated. It all started thanks to some encouragement from their good friend (and other cheese legend) Richard Thomas, David and Anne Brown got in there and gave it a crack at the Milawa Butter Factory in 1988. The rest, they say is history, but it's also the present. Many in the Australian cheese community still credit much of their early inspiration to the Brown family, especially that of Anne, including co-founder of MOULD, Nick Haddow from Bruny Island Cheese. Very sadly, Anne passed away last year and although some times has passed since, her loss is still felt. Her daughter Ceridwen, who I catch up with today, now runs this family business and she truly is a wonderful human being. Family. That is the word that first comes to mind when I think of MlIawa. It's at the core of who they are, where they've been and what their future holds. You really get a sense of it when you speak to Ceridwen and I'm so grateful to her for opening up and sharing some wonderfully personal stories here. She really is an incredible human and truly embodies the family spirit of hospitality, sharing and passionately talking about what Milawa does. And for those of you who have joined us at our festivals, you would have witnessed this first hand. And no doubt contributed to so many votes in the people's choice. She's always out the front of her stand, with a massive Milawa Blue in arm, handing out samples. I'm very grateful to her for being so open in our conversation here. Or may that was the wine we had in hand whilst recording?

The different versions of Taliesin's folk tale give us clues as to where the animal-transformation chase scene may have taken place. Following some interesting clues in the Welsh landscape, here's one possible location . . .​

The fiercely intelligent Australian author Ceridwen Dovey joins Jamila Rizvi and Astrid Edwards to discuss lust in literature and non-fiction.  Introduction: How lust is depicted in literature, and how it needs to change. Why are we, as readers, drawn to stories of lust over love? Chapter 1: Power imbalances within a couple can fuel lust and often are the driver of romantic liaisons in literature. But can a meaningful relationship of equals ever be possible as a result?   Chapter 2: Becoming, Michelle Obama. Chapter 3:In the Garden of the Fugitives, Ceridwen Dovey. Jamila, Astrid and Ceridwen talk lust, love and reflect on "the obsessive stuff, the stalkery stuff, and the stuff we sweep under the carpet of our normal lives”. Recommendations: Astrid recommends Atonement by Ian McEwan. Jamila recommendsThe Time Traveller’s Wife by Audrey Niffenger and - wait for it - Simple by Yotam Ottelenghi. CHAT WITH US Join our discussion using hashtag #AnonymousWasAWomanPod and don't forget to follow Jamila (on Instagram and Twitter) and Astrid (also on Instagram and Twitter) to continue the conversation.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is Ceridwen Dovey, (KER EH DWIN DOUGH VEE) author of In The Garden Of The Fugitives, published, in America, in May by FSG. Ceridwen’s previous work includes her debut novel Blood Kin which has been published in fifteen countries and was selected for the National Book Foundation’s 5 under 35 honors list. She next gave us Only The Animals, a collection of short stories. She will publish Writers on Writers: her view of J.M. Coetzee (COAT_SEE) . She lives in Sydney. In The Garden of The Fugitives is an epistolary work, or at least it appears to be in many ways. It tells a story through letters about two antagonists who have been silent running for 20 years until the one who was shut out begins a tentative overture. His name is Royce. Hers is Vita. Royce is, seemingly, reaching out to discover and share their joint and dark pasts. Vita’s is both a spatial and a psychological journey, while Royce’s is center for the most part in Pompeii at an archeological dig, where he has followed his longtime unrequited love and what follows is both surprising, extremely unsettling and horribly wrong. The book in short, describes what happens when we face the consequences of telling stories about ourselves. Much like in Julian Barnes A Sense of an Ending Enough of my rambling, as I say pretty much every week and welcome Ker eh Dwin to the show.

Welsh Folklore this week. The stories of Ceridwen the Enchantress, and Taliesin the Bard were too connected to split into separate episodes, so I will be talking about both on this one.

Silver Hammer, Golden Cross (Pyewacket Press, 2017) is sixth in the series of the Circle of Ceridwen series. It begins by exploring the friendship of two young heirs, Ceric, of Saxon descent and Hrald, of Danish descent. Although the history of their families is complicated, involving revenge killings mandated by honor, the two young men feel close to each other, mainly because of the warm friendship their mothers maintained through various tribulations. This friendship endures, despite the fact that Ceric’s mother now lives with Hrald’s father, on the island of Gotland. Hrald’s father has effectively abandoned his Danish family, after beginning a new family in exile and taking an oath to kill no further men. Ceric wished to marry Hrald’s sister Ashild, both because he cares for her, and because it will allow him and Hrald to strengthen the bond between the two noble houses. The headstrong Ashild, who emerges as the central character of Silver Hammer, Golden Cross, is conflicted. She likes Ceric well enough, but feels rooted to her family’s land. Marrying into Ceric’s house, which is far-away, would mean rare visits to the place she calls home. While she considers Ceric proposal, another suitor enters to complicate the picture, against the background of a coming war. How Ashild handles this challenge is central to the story, and always believable. Ashild embodies the multicultural lineage of England: though her Danish family has converted to Christianity, she wears her fathers silver hammer, a symbol of the pagan God Thor. At the same time, she treasures the Christian abbey where her grandmother lives as a place of safety for women. Ashild wears the golden cross as well. Octavia Randolph never strikes a false note historically, and describes objects with the eye of a craftswoman. Her characters are given room to develop as the story unfolds. She refuses to pander to the Game of Thrones crowd. Most of the characters, including Hrald’s absent father, Sidroc, try to act with honor and integrity. It’s a world shadowed by betrayal and war, and the lust for spoils, but not a world without love, companionship, and loyalty. In the end, Ceric, Ashild, and Hrald, like their parents before them, have become the friends many readers would wish for, judging by the popularity of the series.

The 14 Track album is a sincere blend of Medieval Celtic Rock, unique to the Dolmen spirit. The band purposely composed 'Banquet' as a forerunner to "Nuada" a second album release due for this year (2014) in May. It was decided after they had finished their 2013 Euro Tour, that there were to many songs for Nuada, and more in production, so decided that Nuada should be split and Banquet should introduce an exciting yet bizarre theme of which the band are presently enchanted, hence laying a musical foundation for 2014 the "Nuada, God of the Sun Tour" and the adventure of musical discovery. You can buy Banquet on The Dolmen website. News: The Four-Cornered Castle (Songbook) by Damh the Bard The Four-Cornered Castle (Songbook) "This chord book contains the chords from my last three studio albums, The Cauldron Born, Tales from the Crow Man and Antlered Crown and Standing Stone". As with Songbook 1 there is no musical notation in the book - Damh doesn't read music himself - but the chord shapes and locations within the lyrics will show you more about his writing process, and how to play the songs as he does. He says: "As with my last songbook, I hope you enjoy singing these songs around your camp fires, in your covens and groves, or simply on your own or with friends." Get strumming! Order now on Damh's website. News: Edge of Dreams 2 by Phil Thornton Edge of Dreams 2 Phil Thornton's first album for New World back in 1986, Edge of Dreams, developed from a 5 minute demo at the 'Enid' studio which at that time was based a few miles from Halesworth in Suffolk. The Enid's lead guitarist Stephen Stewart had by that time developed into a brilliant producer, so when New World gave me a budget to record an album for them it was a dream come true. Phil has let us know that he is currently working on a follow-up to this album. Keep your eyes on his website or Facebook page for further news! Good luck Phil! 500 Tub Thumps by Pandora Celtica Faerie Revel Pandora Celtica is a Dark Celtic Faerie a cappella band local to Denver.

Philip Shallcrass Part 2 of our Interview First ceremony with the World Drum, on Dragon Hill in 2008 by John Whittlestone In this part of the Interview Philip talks about the World Drum and many other things. The World Drum in front of Philip's Altar, pic by Philip   The Prayer for Mother Earth We are all human beings, all people, you, me, our neighbours. No matter where you live in this world, if it is in Africa or South-America, if it is in Asia, Europe or U.S.A, we are all sisters and brothers in humanity. All people of the world. Whether rich or poor, whatever colour, religion or political thinking, we are all residents of this one planet, Mother Earth. The time has come to answer the questions. Do we really want to destroy our home? Do we really want war, hunger or disasters? Do we really want to give our next generations a planet in such a condition that there will not be any hope for survival? Mother Earth is crying. She is shivering in fear of losing all her entrails, as we dig and drill to get hold of what we think is our right towards a better wealth. Mother Earth is crying. Soon she will not have any tears left, and then it will be too late. The time has come to unite and stand together. Please, I ask you, take each other’s hands, lift them high and make a prayer while The World Drum sings her song and we feel her heartbeat. It is the heartbeat of Mother Earth. It is our heartbeat, from each and one all over the world. It is the heartbeat of life itself. Let us join together as one that this heartbeat may continue.

The beautiful and yet rousing track, Willow, comes from their album Dowry of a Troll Woman. You can find out more details about PerKelt on their website or on our Contributor Page on this website. Philip Shallcrass Part 4 of our Interview The BDO Roundhouse with visiting Norwegian shamans, picture by Morten Wolf Storeide The British Druid Order, rekindling the sacred fires of Druidry as a living, breathing, Earth-honouring, life-affirming spirituality for the 21st century, drawing inspiration from the threefold stream of Awen’s flow from its source, the Cauldron of the goddess Ceridwen. They offer Distance Learning Courses as well as many Retreats and Workshops at the Spiritual Centre of Wildways on the Borle. You can find his books and music on the BDO Website. You can find out more details about Greywolf on his Contributor Page on this website. Philip, Joe & Us, pic by Mike My Sons for Evermore by Philip Shallcrass Lord of the Wildwood My Sons for Evermore is a soulful tribute to the love a father carries for his sons, and the feelings that Philip experiences as he contemplates their venturing forth into manhood. "Sitting at home one misty morning, gazing from my window at a grey, cloudy day, it struck me that soon my sons would be making their own ways in the world and I'd be rattling around at home alone much of the time. "The words and tune of this song came into my head all in a rush and this draft version was recorded soon after via a Skype headset plugged into my computer. I'll re-record it 'properly' for my next CD (which will probably be called 'Lord of the Wildwood'), but I kinda like this rough and ready first take. It has a quality that the Welsh call hiraeth, a sort of melancholy yearning after times and things past."

Philip Shallcrass Part 2 of our Interview Greywolf inside Roundhouse In this part of the Interview Philip talks about the Celtic connections of Druidry, shamanism and sweat lodges and reveals how he got the name of 'Greywolf' Philip, Joe & Us - pic by Mike Shallcrass Song at Wodnesbeorg Philip Shallcrass The Sign of the Rose The Sign of the Rose is an album of songs, spells and invocations from BDO chief, Greywolf, aka Philip Shallcrass. "Beginning with an invocation to the old Saxon gods of Britain, it moves into ‘Song at Wodnesbeorg,’ a song inspired by Greywolf’s meeting with Woden on an ancient burial mound in North Wiltshire. Next is an invocation of Awen, the sacred, flowing spirit of inspiration in our tradition. This is followed by a hymn to the divine feminine, ‘Lady of the Greenwood.’ Track 5, ‘Lover’ and the title track, ‘The Sign of the Rose,’ are lyrical love songs. ‘Autumn Spell’ is a prayer for healing, followed by ‘Hel’s Embrace,’ reflecting on the dark side of relationships, while the next track, ‘A Perfect Mirror,’ deals with love’s ability to find itself reflected in another’s soul." "‘Slide’ is an out-and-out rocker with some bitchin’ slide guitar work. ‘Sacrifice’ muses on what we may or may not be willing to give, or give up, for love. ‘Thanks’ is an expression of gratitude for the sheer strangeness of being alive. The final track, the 12-minute epic, ‘The Sweet Sorrow,’ is a tragic tale of love and loss, based on a traditional Scots ballad of the same name, here given a makeover with layered harp, bass, percussion and strings."
