Cerridwen, the witch from the Tale of Taliesin is shown in this 1934 painting by Christopher Williams.
Her cauldron brewed wisdom itself, a gift for her deformed son Morfran. When the boy Gwion Bach tasted it, a wild chase ended with Gwion's rebirth as the legendary poet Taliesin.

On this day in 1759, 267 years ago, the radical abolitionist Benjamin Lay passed away at age 77. A hundred years before William Lloyd Garrison, Lay called for the immediate and complete abolition of slavery worldwide, with no payments to enslavers. Let us remember him. Art by Marco Lorenzetti.

Oooh, I'm curious what the difference is (new to Quakerism here). I'm just heading to my 2nd meeting now, hope you have a fab day

Oh, but this makes me want to try writing again, even though I can't write, can't follow the 'rules' of poetry and am seizing up at the thought of it.

O my gods, a beautiful distraction from sports! Heading there now

I am the worst Cymro ever, 'bradwr' even. I'm not even fond of cawl! Y cywilydd!!!

O god how do I mute all mention of the 6 nations and 'lympics?
I know I'm 'supposed' to love rugby but christ no.

i love european olympics opening ceremonies. the second the ioc names a european host city the prime minister calls the culture minister into their office and says "find me your strangest homosexuals. give each of them a period of our great nation's history, a kilo of cocaine, and Ten Million Euros"

You have more patience than I!

I wouldn't waste your breath reasoning with an English exceptionalist. They're not worth your time.

*waves* Hi, dying to watch this film, but yeah, I'm just heading down this route as well. Agnostic/pagan (mostly) but I'm following wherever this itch takes me, I guess. I've met some awesome folks at Quaker meeting recently. What's drawing you?
