The first version of the Tale of Taliesin that I read was one where Gwion Bach receives the drops by accident, but I can't help but enjoy the version where he chooses and goes after it himself. It's a good metaphor for the seeker of wisdom. I've read Taliesin Origins and learned a lot from it!
Awonderful podcast for a rainy Manhattan afternoon. Thank you, Gwilym. When fewer demands are made on my time and psyche I will indulge myself and join your program again.
I hadn’t heard the cauldron breaking part before - I love that image! To me, the first part feels very much like Ceridwen’s story, rather than Taliesin’s
I was curious if sometime in the future could you please make a video on the irish story, the tale of the 5 lugaids and the lady of sovereignty, the story Is from the Coire Anmann, Id love to hear your take on it.
I unthyw siaradwyr Cymraeg sy'n gwylio, mae podlediad Yr Hen Iaith (ar YT) yn trafod Elis Gruffudd yn fanwl, ond maen nhw'n canolbwyntio'n fwy ar ei waith hanesyddol. Mae Mr. Morus-Baird, Yr Hen Iaith a Cambrian Chronicles yn triawd gwych o gynhyrchwyr Cymreig!

Your voice is really soothing, musical beautiful Cymraeg accent a diolch yn fawr for the story
Did you say the tale happens around Calan Gaeaf? I couldn’t quite catch that part. A cauldron tale around Halloween time, you say…
Her kid sounds like Grendel do they share a similar origin?
