The Oldest Welsh Fairytale Explained: Elidyr and the Fairy Realm | Get the short guide 'The 5 Keys of Celtic Myth' here: https://celticsource.online/the-5-keys-of-celtic-myth/The story of Elidyr and the Tylwyth Teg is the oldest Welsh fairy tale on record. It tells of a boy's journey through ancient liminal spaces, encountering a deep realm of where the fairies have their own high ideals and ethics. But what does this story actually mean? What does it tell us about encounters with the extraordinary, about truth, childhood, and lost wisdom?

The Physicians of Myddfai - An Interpretation | Get the short guide 'The 5 Keys of Celtic Myth' here: https://celticsource.online/the-5-keys-of-celtic-myth/How can a simple Welsh folktale about a shepherd who falls in love with a magical lake maiden reveal deep insights about relationships, time, nature, and the delicate balance between different worlds? How did this extraordinary union gave birth to the legendary Physicians of Myddfai? Using the '5 Keys of Celtic Myth' approach, we break down this fascinating story to reveal its practical wisdom about finding balance, respecting boundaries, and connecting with forces beyond our understanding.If you want to follow a course on the Celtic myths of the Mabinogi, start here https://celticsource.online/mabinogi | — | ||||||

The Welsh Myths of Calan Mai | Get the short guide 'The 5 Keys of Celtic Myth' here: https://celticsource.online/the-5-keys-of-celticmyth/Calan Mai (Beltane) is a time of flowers, birdsong and sunshine, but Welsh myths set at this time tell of conflict, horrific violence and monstrous threats to the very fertility of the land and the people.

| 6/6/25 | ![]() 74. Battle Scars and Sacred Stars - The Story of the Picts | Two thousand years ago, an unstoppable empire met an immovable people. Rome’s mighty legions had conquered most of Celtic Britain . . . except for the tribes of the far north. We have little direct evidence for Pictish culture, but there are strong suggestions that long before Christianity reached Scotland, the early Picts were using Neolithic sites built with mathematical precision — not just to honour their gods, but to track the stars and planets across the heavens. And what they left behind is more than just stone — it’s a prehistoric observatory that still works to this day.The Picts course is course on the website: https://celticsource.online/courses/the-picts/To receive a series of videos from the Celtic Source archive, please sign up to the mailing list: https://celticsource.online/mailing-list/David Nance's original paper: https://aura.abdn.ac.uk/bitstream/handle/2164/18401/Nance_SGJ_Investigation_Aberdeenshire_Ritual_VOR.pdf?sequence=1 | — | ||||||

The Integrity of Celtic Myths | Sign up for the Mabinogi course here: https://celticsource.online/courses/the-four-branches-of-the-mabinogi/How do we preserve the integrity of Celtic myths in a modern, largely English-speaking culture? Who gets to say what these myths mean? Are people within Celtic speaking cultures marginalised when it comes to what their own myths mean?

| 6/4/25 | ![]() 72. The Imbolc Mystery - What Ancient Irish Sources Really Tell Us.mp3 | Saint or goddess? Christian feast or pagan festival? The story of Saint Brigid and Imbolc has puzzled scholars for quite some time now.

| 6/3/25 | ![]() 71. The Celtic Equinoxes? | The Wheel of the Year was a concept invented in the mid-20th century to describe a cycle of 8 seasonal pagan festivals, many of which were taken from Irish culture. More recently, the whole concept of an eight-fold year has been questioned, the assumption being that some festivals have no basis in history. But the situation, in the Celtic cultures at least, is a bit more nuanced. | — | ||||||
| 6/2/25 | ![]() 70. The Celtic Rites and Sacred Time | The Wheel of the Year, the cycle of seasonal festivals that have been observed across the world, is one of the key features of historical Celtic culture. In many ways, the wheel embodies both a practical and mystical knowledge that was pertinent at different stages of the year. So what was this knowledge? What were the foundational themes common across the different Celtic regions?To join us on the course, please visit: https://celticsource.online/courses-page/To receive a series of videos on similar topics, pleas join the mailing: https://celticsource.online/mailing-list/ | — | ||||||

| 9/17/24 | ![]() 68. Arthur's Myth: Death, Cauldrons and The Holy Grail | The older Welsh myth of Arthur is often overshadowed, both by the obsession with the chivalric Arthur of medieval Europe, and then more recently by the search for the historical Arthur. These subjects can be interesting in their own right, but they rarely ask the important questions: how did a Welsh figure become the centrepiece of an elaborate and profound mythology that’s still popular across the globe? What does this older Arthur embody? What ancient Celtic beliefs are preserved in his myth? This video is an introduction to 'The Arthur of the Welsh' course, and also sets out how the Arthurian myth connects other courses on the website.

| 1/7/24 | ![]() 62. The Blessings of the Táin | The Táin Bó Cuailnge, often simply called the Táin, is one of the most important Irish myths, and perhaps even one of the most important in Europe, with some claiming that it’s the earliest surviving epic in Western vernacular literature.

| 11/16/23 | ![]() 60. Myth Mountain: Why Myth and Why Mountain? | This is a new podcast my wife and I will be making over the next few months. If you want to hear more, please search for the Myth Mountain podcast on your favourite platform and subscribe. You can find us on Spotify here. This podcast explores many of the ideas behind the Myth Mountain programme that you can find here. "Join Lucy and Gwilym as they unpack why we are compelled by myths, what role they play in enriching our lives, why we are drawn to the myths of our ancestral lands and how this gives us a sense of the sacred. Sharing personal stories and their experience of being in the wild, vision quest and connection to place." | — | ||||||
| 6/4/20 | ![]() 14. A Celtic Wisdom Tradition? | Celtic myths are symbolic, so we need to interpret them to draw out their wisdom. As a result, it's probably worth asking if interpretation was ever a part of the Celtic storytelling tradition? | — | ||||||

| 5/22/20 | ![]() 11. Who wrote The Book of Taliesin? | The Book of Taliesin is one of the great treasures of Welsh culture, but who wrote it? In truth, it's an impossible question to answer, but there are some very interesting theories about who composed some of the most famous poems in the manuscript . . . | — | ||||||
| 5/22/20 | ![]() 10. What is The Book of Taliesin | The Book of Taliesin is one of the primary medieval sources for the Taliesin myth. But what does it actually contain? | — | ||||||
| 5/22/20 | ![]() 9. The Welsh bardic triads | The Welsh Bardic Triads ('Trioedd Ynys Prydein') provide an index to the oral storytelling tradition of medieval Wales. They were used by bards across the centuries not only to help them remember the vast network of traditional myth and lore, but also to present a distinct vision of the ancient past. | — | ||||||
| 5/22/20 | ![]() 8. Was Taliesin a druid? | Most Celtic scholars would rightly point out that the correct answer to this question is an emphatic no. Yet there is a more nuanced story that can be told. | — | ||||||
| 5/22/20 | ![]() 7. The bardic power of myth | How did Taliesin transform his patron through the bardic power of myth? | — | ||||||
| 5/22/20 | ![]() 6. Celtic Magical Elixirs | There are some distinct similarities between the Welsh Tale of Taliesin and the Irish story of Fionn Mac Cumhaill, in particular the very ancient concept of a magical elixir. | — | ||||||
| 5/22/20 | ![]() 5. Awen, symbol and cauldron | In the Taliesin myth, awen plays a central role in creating symbolic reality. This leads naturally on to an outline of some of the symbolic meanings that can be found in the great mythic cauldron of the Celts. | — | ||||||
