This is my version, comes from the tellings I listened too - all enchanted - from the Old Ones in the village, and from Dad who was a cyfarwydd, that’s a taleweaver in the old tongue.

There’s many layers in the story as there always are in what we know now as fairy stories. They’re a simple story on the top … but read more, dig deeper …

As such, he holds the essence of Britain in his hands and is its guardian.

Gwydion is a complex and highly significant figure in the Old British Ways, embodying the potent force of magic, intellect, and skilful trickery that instils wisdom into our bones so well earning his title as Master Enchanter of Britain. In Welsh, the Old British tongue, The Milky Way is known as Caer Gwydion, ‘Gwydion’s Castle’.

He’s a wonderful ally to have on your alchemical transformation journey and so he’s one of the powers who look after us in Phoenix Rising. Gwydion will never, ever let you down and will teach you all you need, often by japes jests and pranks, taking you on escapades that are right out of the box!

This is just one of Gwydion’s stories, I’ll be telling more here on this channel …
