Perfect is my chair in Caer Sidi:
Plague and age hurt not him who's in it.
They know, Manawyddan and Pryderi.
Three organs round a fire sing before it,
And about its points are ocean's streams
And the abundant well above it.
Sweeter than white wine the drink in it.

`In #Celtic myths eating often leads to pregnancy, and so it was with #Ceridwen, who gave birth to #Gwion and set him adrift on the sea. A nobleman, #Elphin, found the baby floating near shore and took him home, raising him tenderly as his own child, calling him #Taliesin, “radiant brow.” Taliesin grew to be the most eloquent poet in the land, one who could see through the veil to the #Otherworld. Like the Irish poets Amairgin and Tuan Mac Cairill, Taliesin spoke of many incarnations, both human and animal.`

The #bardic words of #Taliesin ring loud across the centuries giving us an opportunity to see through 'the other's' eyes and encouraging us to find our own voices.

From the fish form #Gwion Bach changed into a bird and #Ceridwen pursued him as a sparrowhawk. Now the boy dropped as a wheat grain on a pile of wheat but Ceridwen took the form of a black hen and pecked up the grain of wheat that Gwion had turned into. After 9 months Gwion was reborn. The sorceress did not have the heart to kill her unwanted child and abandoned the little boy in a #Coracle. He survived and became the famous poet #Taliesin.

Siblings #Crearwy (1 of the 3 most beautiful maids in Britain), #Morfran (so ugly nobody would wound him in battle in case he was the devil) & #Taliesin the great bard were the varied offspring of sorceress Ceridwen & giant Tegid Foel.

`#Taliesin is considered the author of the earliest surviving works in the #Welsh language. His symbol is the harp; like many gods to whom the elements of fire and water are closest, he represents the artistic vein of man, including especially poetic and musical talent.`
#Taliesin is believed to have held the position of bard in at least three Britannic royal courts in the 6th century.

#Celtic #Fairytale: #Ceridwen, the 'Beloved Beautiful', was skilled in magic and divination. For year and day she cooked herbs in order to make her ugly son #Morfran more acceptable by becoming a fortune teller through three drops of it.
However, #Gwion had pushed Morfran aside and was hit by the 3 drops of the potion. He turned into a hare, but the sorceress pursued him in the form of a black hunting dog.
But now #Gwion changed into a fish whereupon the sorceress slipped into the shape of an otter. But from the fish form the boy changed into a bird.
#Ceridwen pursued him as a sparrowhawk. Now the boy dropped as a wheat grain on a pile of wheat.
Finally #Ceridwen took the form of a black hen and pecked up the grain of wheat that #Gwion had turned into. After 9 months #Gwion was reborn. The sorceress did not have the heart to kill her unwanted child and abandoned the little boy in a #Coracle. He survived and became the famous poet #Taliesin.

Une très belle histoire chantée en musique, sur le son de la harpe, pleine de poésie et d'images, elle nous ramène à l'essentiel, et suscite un mélange entre réconciliation de soi, inspiration, sagesse, audace et confiance dans la vie, que sais-je d'autre ?

À chaque fois que je l'écoute, elle me touche droit au cœur.
