On Sunday 6th December Land Sea Sky Travel are hosting an on-line conference for Gwyn ap Nudd. Gwyn is a Brythonic god of the dead, ruler of Annwn (the Otherworld), and leader of the Wild Hunt. Throughout centuries of Christianity he and his spirits were demonised, but now the worship of this god, who is associated with the wild wisdom of the forest and the divine inspiration known as awen that pours from the cauldron he guards in the depths of Annwn is being revived. This is the perfect opportunity, whether you know nothing of Gwyn or already have a relationship with him, to learn more about him and deepen your knowledge with modern devotees.
The conference will take place from 10am EST / 3pm GMT until 8pm EST / 1am GMT. It will open with devotions from Thornsilver Hollysong and include an introduction to Gwyn and meditation from Jamie Waggoner, a bardic set titled ‘Gwyn ap Nudd: A Poetic Journey’ from myself, then talks on how Gwyn came to be identified with the devil from Gwilym Morus-Baird, the different forms Gwyn takes in current times from Bryan Hewitt, and ‘A Writer’s Guide to Gwyn ap Nudd and Working With his “Devils of Annwfn”‘ from Cat Heath.
Tickets are available on a sliding scale from $20 to $60 on the Land Sea Sky Travel website HERE.
I hope it goes beautifully; I would have been there for all of it if not for a 12-hour work shift.
That’s a shame. I think it’s possible to gain access to the talks afterwards if you can’t make it on the day.
I was just about make a post about this but I think I may just link to yours. 🙂 And since someone asked, yes you can absolutely gain access to the talks afterwards. Vyviane Armstrong records them and she always mentions that you can buy past conferences if you want to.
Reblogged this on Starstruck Awenydd and commented:
There is a Gwyn Conference this Sunday from Land Sea Sky Travel. Instead of repeating everything I’ll let Lorna Smithers tell you about it. I’m honored to be doing the opening devotional. (I have been looking forward to this since *April.*)
Greetings, I would like to attend the Conference tomorrow, but PayPal nor my email server is recognizing vivyane@landseaskytravel.com. Thank you, Michael Peterson
Apologies I’m just a speaker not an organiser so can’t help you out with payments. However, if you email me at lornasmithers81@gmail.com I will pass your email address on to Vyviane and hopefully she will be able to sort you out.
I am so sorry I will not be able to attend this.
