The Taliesin mythology is one of Britain’s oldest surviving traditions. With its roots in the Celtic Iron Age it continues to flourish to this day as a central part of Welsh language culture, modern Druidry and Paganism. The main sources for this tradition include some of the oldest and most intriguing poems of the Welsh bardic tradition, as well as some of the better known folk stories of Wales. By examining these sources in detail, this course explores what is essentially the oldest surviving myth concerning a native British priesthood.
The Celtic Mythology program, of which this course is only one part, currently includes 120 hours of video lectures and group discussions, with new videos and materials added every week.
Access to all courses and materials is available with the same monthly membership fee of £49 / $60 per month. You can stop at anytime, there’s no obligation to continue a course you’ve started.
