Few authors are able to discuss the original Taliesin myth in as much depth as Dr Gwilym Morus-Baird. As a native Welsh speaker and scholar he has studied the Welsh bardic tradition from the inside, and able to give readers insights few others have even guessed at. In this groundbreaking exploration, Dr Gwilym Morus-Baird tells the many tales behind the story and draws out the deeper meanings of the original myth. As one of the most complete studies of the greatest Celtic bard in print, this book is a must-have for anyone seriously studying Celtic myth, be they students, researchers, druids or pagans. It reveals the ancient roots of Taliesin's myth in the Celtic tradition, and interprets many of the symbols, themes and meanings embedded in this important tale. The book presents new insights not only into Taliesin himself, but also the central figure of Ceridwen, the ancient symbol of her cauldron, the mystical relationship between awen and Annwfn, and how all of these elements relate to the Welsh bardic tradition. From the introduction: "This book explores all the most important stories and poems that make up the Welsh myth of Taliesin. As you would expect, it therefore covers a lot of history, but this isn't strictly a book about history. It's a book about a myth: a vast and tangled myth that spans millennia and contains many characters, locations and texts. Some sources might be familiar to some readers, while others will be new to almost everyone outside of a Celtic Studies department. Yet even with the more popularly known poems and stories, there are new aspects, concepts and themes explored, deeper parts of the myth and more subtle elements of the tradition considered. It's also worth pointing out that parts of this book will be very speculative. Old myths show more than they tell; their meaning is implied rather than explicitly stated; they're more symbolic than literal. This means myths need to be interpreted before they can be fully understood, and interpretation is by no means a hard science. If anything, it's more of an art, a creative process of finding patterns, comparisons, suggestions and inferences." From students past and present: "... a scholarly honouring of the magical and otherworldly nature of the Celts." - Professor Susan Pryor, Tamna University. "His work is of incalculable value ... from the clarity of his explanations and beyond to the countless associations he invites and stimulates." - Associate Professor Valeria Rodriguez Van Dam, Universidad de Buenos Aires " ... fundamental for any exploration into Celtic myths and the meaning behind them." - Dr Gary Llewellyn, Scientist, Neo Druid & Storyteller "His work ... goes to the inner most aspects of Celtic culture that otherwise would seem impossible to penetrate." - Luke Huw Llewellyn, Welsh Folklore Student & Musician "He brings the full essence and depth of Welsh mythology into modern times ... he has the utmost respect for the original sources and adheres to them as he teaches." - Kate Cowie Riley, Poet and Writer "Taliesin and other great poets spring back to life again in his voice. I have learned more from him than I can ever express." - Dr Ann Beer "He skilfully stirs the cauldron, and we who are gathered round invariably catch the odd drop of awen." - Simon Hughes Lilly, Author, Artist & Craftsman

The story of the ancient Welsh poet Taliesin and his transformation from the lowly pot-stirrer Gwion Bach to the radiant-browed, omniscient Chief Poet of the West by the power of Ceridwen's cauldron of awen plays a central role in the spiritual lives of many thousands of modern Pagans and Druids. Individual poems from the corpus such as Preideu Annwfyn ("The Spoils of Annwfn") and Kat Godeu ("The Battle of the Trees") have assumed an almost totemic siginificance in the discussion of the origins of the bards and their craft and feed into many people's sense of belonging in the Pagan tradition. It is a pity then that so much of this discussion depends on out-dated and woefully inaccurate translations of the original Welsh texts. The main aim of this book, therefore, is to present modern, reliable translations of all the medieval poems assigned to or concerning Taliesin together with all three variant versions of the Early Modern prose tales known variously as Ystoria Taliesin ("The Story of Taliesin") or Hanes Taliesin ("The History of Taliesin"). Translations of medieval court poems with a bearing on the development of the Taliesin persona are also included in the appendices. An attempt has been made to return to the poems their unity as works of art, rather than regarding them as texts to be deciphered and dissected.

This book tells the story of the Taliesin Fellowship, created by Frank and Olgivanna Lloyd Wright in 1932, in the words of men and women who joined the Fellowship, some as early as the 1930s, and remained with it into the 1990s. Many of the storytellers worked side by side with Wright, who died in 1959, and almost all of them lived and worked with Olgivanna Lloyd Wright, who survived her husband by 26 years. The Taliesin fellows are joined by other storytellers who have been their partners in recent years and who know the Fellowship well. The Fellowship's origins and milestones in its history are documented here, as well as the dynamics that shaped its progress, its character, and its story. Readers will gain fresh and provocative insights into the genius and mystique of the Fellowship's creators and an understanding of Frank Lloyd Wright's amazing productivity, particularly in the last decade of his life. These stories will debunk some of the common caricatures that are a part of his legacy.

Taliesin, Chief Bard of Britain and Celtic shaman, was a historical figure who lived in Wales during the latter half of the sixth century. His verse is established as a direct precursor to the Arthurian Legends--and Taliesin himself, is said to be the direct forebear to Merlin. The author presents completely new translations of Taliesin's major poems in their entirety, uncovering the meanings behind these great works for the first time.

Excerpt from Facsimile and Text of the Book of Taliesin B.t. A paean or elegy. If the-internal evidence, supported by linguistic and grammatical considerations, proves that our text was written in the twelfth century and after, it is sheer lunacy to claim for any part of it a sixth century origin. That Taliesin flourished in the middle of the twelfth century there can be no manner of doubt; and he was held in such high esteem that his manner, his style was imitated.'l 'but, ' it has been oh jected, 'there might have been another Taliesin who lived in the sixth century.' Where is the evidence for this ghost, this birth of fraud, this tattle of public platforms? Might-have-been is not evidence, but the offspring of indolent belief, which shirks the effort to think. To say this is to fly in the face of that Providence which pro vides for the simple, but the man who has seen a truth cannot be as if he had not seen it. Sooner or later truth will out, and will be proclaimed on the housetops. Bann gwir ban Siscleir - bannach ban leveir.

Geoffrey of Monmouth’s immensely popular Latin prose Historia regum Britanniae (c. 1138), followed by French verse translations – Wace’s Roman de Brut (1155) and anonymous versions including the Royal Brut, the Munich, Harley, and Egerton Bruts (12th -14th c.), initiated Arthurian narratives of many genres throughout the ages, alongside Welsh, English, and other traditions. Arthur, Origins, Identities and the Legendary History of Britain addresses how Arthurian histories incorporating the British foundation myth responded to images of individual or collective identity and how those narratives contributed to those identities. What cultural, political or psychic needs did these Arthurian narratives meet and what might have been the origins of those needs? And how did each text contribute to a “larger picture” of Arthur, to the construction of a myth that still remains so compelling today?
