[Pagan Cinema] The legend is always changing from one thing to another, being gobbled up and sweated out, being birthed into new life with new names, being boiled up in the cauldron of Ceridwen to become what it must be next.

If you're at a loose end on the 24th June and in the #Abertawe / #Swansea area, #Taliesin are showing two locally made short films - Our Place Or Yours - and tickets are #free.
The Cost tackles the human impact of the cost of living crisis, and highlights some of the services striving to support local people.
No Place Like Home, by Mioe CIC & Women’s Aid, highlights domestic violence and misogyny, exploring its impact on our community.

Judith, our #Imbolc house #fairy wanted to wish you all a beautiful and #sparkly day.
In Wales, today is known as Gwyl Forwyn or the Feast of the Maidens.
This reminds me of a passage in Cad Goddeu (technically battle of the shrubs, but it is mostly translated as trees).
Arthur sails into #Annwn on his ship Prydwen (fair of face) with his pal #Taliesin and others
A great cauldron there is warmed by the breath of 9 maidens, but it won't boil the food of a coward.
So, be very bold today! 
#WIP update:
I'm 84K words with only another 6K to go.
I am very relieved with where I am in the story.
I just climaxed.
#MythologyMonday: `#Ceridwen took the form of a black hen and pecked up the grain of wheat that #Gwion had turned into. After 9 months #Gwion was reborn. The sorceress did not have the heart to kill her unwanted child and abandoned the little boy in a #Coracle. He survived and became the famous poet #Taliesin.` #Celtic
Bran at Harlech
Drawing of Bran the Blessed looking westward across the Irish sea. Inspired by my #WIP now at 62K words
According to Taliesin's poem "The Spoils of Annwn," King Arthur sailed to the Welsh Otherworld with three ships of his greatest warriors in order to both steal a magic cauldron and rescue the warrior Gweir from his fairy prison. Sadly, only seven warriors returned.

"The Book of Taliesin" is a collection of medieval Welsh poetry allegedly by the 6th-century bard Taliesin. The Narrator claims to be the spirit of poetic inspiration, who has seen all of history, including the events of the Bible and Welsh folklore.

I just drafted a scene that I've been waiting to write for years. It's based off a dialogue between two big mythology characters (who I won't name for spoiler reasons) from a manuscript that's dates back at least to the mid 1200's.
I know it's the first draft and will certainly get changed but goodness gracious, it's everything I wanted it to be and it felt so damn good to finally write it out!
SELF PROMOTION! My book, Taliesin, Chief of Bards, was just awarded a 5 star recommendation from the Historical Fiction Company!

The #bardic words of #Taliesin ring loud across the centuries giving us an opportunity to see through 'the other's' eyes and encouraging us to find our own voices.
