Meet the cunning man, or dyn hysbys, who straddled two worlds, providing magical services to his community, preserving traditional charms and magical techniques yet eager to discover other arcane teachings. This exploration of the Welsh “shaman” will lead into the region’s lore of portals, fairies, and legends (many that are not kind to humanity). There’s even a St. Elvis to meet on the road. Of course, we will find the overlap between Welsh mysticism and Gnosticism, among other traditions.

Astral Guest – Andrew Phillip Smith, author of Pages From a Welsh Cunning Man's Book: Magic and Fairies in Nineteenth-Century Wales
