A 3 month Bardic Initiation with 9 live classes (& replays) & more, to learn storytelling magic and unlock your voice, courage, and enchantment! Leap into the Cauldron, or join the Enchanters’ Circle to get this course and more, here.
In Wales the Goddess of inspiration and the keeper of the Cauldron of Awen, is the witch and mother Ceridwen. Even in medieval Christian bardic traditions it was often claimed that the divine inspiration, the Awen, flowed into the world through her cauldron, that’s how powerful her name is… they may not have called her a goddess then, but in modern paganism we certainly do.
She gathers the wisdom of the land and brews the potion to grant wisdom, creative insight, and magic.
And as the fire in the land begins to brighten, we remember the fire that flickered under the iron vessel, stirred by the child that would one day become a great bard…
When I have felt stuck, or like my creative well has run dry, I turn to magic, the stories, and my gods.
On April Fool’s day 2025 we will step into a three month journey with Ceridwen and Taliesin, the Goddess of Initiation and Inspiration and the Greatest Bard that ever lived.
Together we will explore Bardic Skills, the magic of the voice, the power of breath, and tools for devotion, discipline, and overcoming creative blocks and the fear of being seen that keeps us from sharing our stories. We will gather tales, explore their magic, and build our skills to share them as enchantments weaving wonder in the world.
I offer a focus on words and the voice, but this is open to wonder-weaving in all mediums.
This is your invitation to begin your Bardic Initiation with Ceridwen and Taliesin.
Are you ready to leap into inspiration?
In the Cauldron of Awen you will meet and work with the Goddess of Inspiration and Initiation to uncover your storytelling powers in voice, art, writing, performance, and magic.
