Podcast appearances and mentions of kristoffer hughes

Laylla and Chelle spill the enchanted tea on their magical adventures at the 2025 Sacred Space Conference! From leading their deeply transformative Fool Meditation Ritual to hugging the absolute spell out of some beloved listeners, it was a whirlwind of candles, community, and just the right amount of chaos!The witches share stories from the workshops they attended and the brilliant witches they connected with...yes, we're talking about Mat Auryn, Jhenah Telyndru, Amy Blackthorn, Mhara Starling, Kristoffer Hughes, Christian Brannen, and so many more. There were spellbooks, sacred moments, and possibly a few awkward ones too! Like when Chelle said something very, very cheeky to Kristoffer Hughes, who (thank the gods) found it hilarious. Laylla, on the other hand, may or may not have had an awkward entanglement with Jhenah Telyndru and is now fairly convinced she has to avoid the Avalonian Priestess out of sheer embarrassment.Between the deep spiritual work and the laugh-until-you-snort moments, this episode is part recap, part celebration, and all community. Whether you were there in person or in spirit, come along for the ride as the witches reflect on the joy, power, and absolute magic of sharing sacred space with this incredible pagan community.Fool of the Labyrinth Chant (replace Lady with Fool)Got a question?

Join comedians Rachel Fairburn and Kiri Pritchard-McLean as they explore a shared passion, serial killers. Each episode the pair will talk all things murder and macabre and have a right laugh doing it. Episode 85 is a very special one. The girls sit down with the only person more overdressed and foulmouthed than them, the incredible Maggi Noggi. Maggi is a Welsh Language drag queen by night and by day, Maggi's creator, Kristoffer Hughes is an Anatomical Pathology Technician and a Druid. The girls sit down and over two and a half bottles of prosecco chat to Kris/Maggi about death, life and the pandemic - there's even chat about a serial killer. 

Kristoffer Hughes, Pennaeth Derwyddon Ynys Môn ac awdur toreithiog llyfrau am fytholeg a chwedlau Cymru, yw gwestai Beti George. Mae newydd ddathlu ei ben-blwydd yn hanner cant ac wedi penderfynu rhoi'r gorau i'w waith fel 'anatomical pathology technologist'- technegydd patholegol mewn marwdy. Fe fydd hefyd yn gyfarwydd i lawer fel Maggi Noggi, ac mae Kris yn sôn ei fod angen Maggi yn ei fywyd. Mae'n sôn ei fod wedi dioddef o 'body dysmorphia' - " Oni byth yn ffitio mewn, 'o ni'n tyfu i fyny fel hogyn yn symud i mewn i gymdeithas hoyw ac roedd y rheini mor beautiful a doeddwn i jest ddim yn teimlo hynny". Mae Kristoffer hefyd yn siarad am baganiaeth, derwyddiaeth ac yn dewis caneuon sydd yn agos at ei galon, gan gynnwys rhai gan Eden a Bronwen Lewis.

Can Pwyll & Rhiannon provide an heir to the Kingdom? Part 11 of the First Branch of the Mabinogion. Doubt begins to enter the minds of the people of Dyfed as their Lord and his Lady show no signs of producing an heir. The High Council of Druids put pressure on Pwyll to divorce his Fairy Bride and take a more 'fruitful' woman to his bed! This episode is also the 11th episode of the First Branch of the Mabinogi.

The songs have become merged over the years.

Our story takes place in Dyfed which is in Demetian lands. Listener Feedback Chris St. Piran's Cross We had a great question from Chris in South Australia about Celtic tattoos, specifically about any that are Cornish in nature. As we say in the show, there aren't many original and ancient designs from Cornwall. There are a few books that may help with more general Celtic knotwork or art. We recommend having a look at:- Celtic Art: The Methods of Construction by George Bain Art of the Celts: From 700 B.C. to the Celtic Revival World of Art by Lloyd Laing Gaelic Tattoos: Top 50 Irish Gaelic Tattoo Ideas Book The Celtic Design Book - Aidan Meehan We suggested either using a variant of St. Piran's Cross or a form of the Piskie - the little pixie unique to Cornwall. We have images of both (and the Tintagel Labyrinth) below. Field Piskie by Josee Saurus The Tintagel Labyrinth from the Cornish Store   Promo - Live Wire! Podcast Radio - Savvy Live Wire!

Music - Sabbat Damh the Bard Sabbat Sabbat, the opening track on the album, is a rousing song about the eight seasonal festivals of the year (known as sabbats to Wiccans). Whether in Druidry or in Wicca, or in our distant past these times of the year are special to the Old Gods. Damh celebrates these great community celebrations with this superb song. Make sure you check out Damh's new album and where to get it on his website or on our Contributor Page. He has also made a video about his feelings for this song (as well as the others on the album) which you can find on YouTube.   Additional Thanks   Kristoffer Hughes We'd like to send out a shout of thanks to Kristoffer Hughes for his help with some of the Welsh language used in this episode. Kris Hughes is a native Welsh speaker, born to a Welsh family in the mountains of Snowdonia in 1971. He lives on the Island of Anglesey, Wales, the ancestral seat of the British Druids. His love of Celtic literature and traditions guided his path into the exploration and practice of Celtic paganism. He is the founder and Head of the Anglesey Druid Order and studies with the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. Badge of the A.D.O. In 2012 he was awarded the Mount Haemus Scholarship for original research in Druidism and related subjects. Kristoffer frequently presents workshops and lectures throughout the United Kingdom. His love of Celtic heritage and culture caused him to pen his first book "Natural Druidry" in 2007 and he is currently writing for Llewellyn Worldwide publications in the USA. [source]   Huge Thanks to Special Guest Actors   Damh the Bard Damh the Bard Damh, taking on the role of Gwawl and other parts in the second half of our re-telling of the First Branch, is a musical storyteller who works within the world of myth that cannot be proved; where the Faerie really do dance on Midsummer's Eve, where the trees talk, and the Hollow Hills take you into the realms of Annwn. Where the Goddess rides her horse, guiding you to magic, and the Horned God of old calls us from the shadows of the Greenwood. You can find out more about Damh and his work on his website at paganmusic.co.uk or on our Contributor page.   Cerri Lee Cerri Lee Cerri Lee, playing the role of Rhiannon, is a multi-talented visonary artist who can turn her hand to almost anything creative. She is inspired by nature, and the ancient Pagan myths and legends of many cultures, her beliefs as a modern day Druid as well as those around her. Cerri is equally in her element when she is up to her elbows in clay or painting one of her fabulous pictures. She is partner to Druid musican and long-time supporter of our show, Damh the Bard and can be found supporting him at many of his performances.   Emma Doubleday Emma Doubleday Our dear friend, Emma, is an Essex girl, born and bred. As an actress and artist of some renown, we are privileged to feature her voice talents on this show as one of Rhiannon's Hand-maidens. Check out her work and biography on her Contributor Page.   Extra Special Thanks to Show Friends   Kevin Skinner Kevin Skinner We are very proud to feature another dear friend, Kevin Skinner in this show as he sets the mood for the beginning of our story with his beautiful track At the Gates of Dinas Afferon from his album Fire Walk With Me.
