Christopher Crittenden: I had just joined the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids when I found this book. It is the perfect companion to study for the Bardic grade of the OBOD for it's discussion and analysis of the myth of Taliesin, and has continued to provide me with inspiration even now that I've completed the Druid grade in the organization. Well done

KyraJax: A great exploration of Welsh mythology (specifically the myth of Taliesin) and how we can apply it's lessons to our modern lives. Highly recommend!

April Haapala: If you want to meet Ceridwen this book is fabulous. It's filled with exercises and spells to really connect you to the material.
Kristoffer Hughes is a master story teller, bringing this myth to life and giving the reader a bird's eye view within the story.
I wanted to connect with my Welsh heritage and I couldn't be happier with the journey of this book, thus far.
I can't wait to read all his books!

S.L. Moore: I was recommended this by a Druid when I said I wanted to learn more about Welsh mythology. It's a really well done deep dive into the birth of Talisen. After reading it I felt I had a better grasp on basic Welsh mythology and it's gotten me excited to read some of the other older works. The guided meditation lets you find your own meaning in the myth and I think it's going to help me build a better foundation on my future studies.

Sian Petra Lang: A very deep and beautiful book to dive into the wisdom of the druid lore and the cauldron. As I am much into exploring my connection with Ceridwen, this is treasure. I long to get to Anglesey and the Druid Order of this magical place!

Jaime Meyer: This book elegantly probes the depth of the Cerridwen tale and the cauldron as mythic symbol. IF you work with this story in any way, this book is a great find.

Andrew P. Vovides: This is a very interesting interpretation of a Druidic legend with roots deep in the ancient pre-Christian traditions of Wales. It gives the reader a good introduction to the tale, the meanings as interpreted by the the author, as well as others whom are pagan friendly as well as those not. Most importantly the insight onto the Welsh language and its pronounciation regarding the derivations and meanings of the characters names, such as the witch goddess Cerridwen, the Old blind man Morda and Gwion Bach. It transports one to the hills and mountains of north Wales, Llyn Tegid (Lake Bala) where the legend is centered. It is good to see the interpretation of this remarkable legend that has been handed to us through the mists of time by a native of the nation of Wales.

HeyFattyBum: Born in raised in Wales as a mixed race person, though my mum is welsh, I had never really been interested into learning about welsh mythology and the spirituality therein. I was always searching for 'truth' in distant places, in lands that are foreign to me. It finally dawned on me that I have no good understanding of Native American 'Vision Quests' and 'Sweat Lodges' and it is very unlikely that I'm going to find a genuine Native American in Wales who will disseminate the information that tribes hold sacred.
I'm well aware of the many 'plastic shaman' profiteering from the 'New Age'. I do however, love nature. I love the rural settings that have surrounded me all my life. Wales and the British isles has just as much a tradition of 'truth' and spirituality as much as the romanticized Native Americans etc. I am now ready to take that step to learn more about the history of MY land - Land of My Mothers.
This book contains gems of information and I will be purchasing and buying the authors other books. There are no New Age gimmicks to be found in this book either, phewwww. I have found a new respect and love for my heritage. Its funny how much of what I've been...

InChristusAllein: Kris Hughes' book is an in-depth look at a pivotal Welsh tale--that of Taliesin. He examines all the characters in the tale, and discusses their relevance in the pursuit of modern paganism and Druidry. Kris himself is a pretty entertaining guy, and I've read both his books, so far... He's definitely an author to keep an eye on. :)
