I gazed deeply into my magical Celtic crystal, a mist arose as if from an autumnal Breton lake. Slowly shapes began to emerge, reminiscent of Lleu and Bran, I shook my magikk cristal and the images became clearer and clearer. I saw a man. Was this an ancient Celt, I mused, was it the soul of a druid coming to help me or Arthur offering me Caledfwlch???

No - it was Rhuddlwm Gawr, a 64 year old American who has never visited a Celtic country in his life. I could see his vouluminous body in the crystal. 'O Lord Rhuddlwm', I pleaded 'help me find meaning in my life'.

'Hold on a sec' said he as he gazed at from his big American house 'let me just switch off the television.'

'Are you truly a Celtic druid' I asked him, my hands trembling 'did your founder really swim with fairies in Betws-y-coed'

'Eermmm' he replied, resplendant in his Mickey Mouse T-shirt 'yes, in Wales, that's the bit of England on the bottom right, no left on the maps'.

'Tell me o wise one, how to wake ARthur from his sleeping place, what are the majickle Welsh words'.

'Well, I don't actually speak Welsh' he mumbled ' but I have got a Teach-yourself Book ... somewhere .... in the attick i think'.

'Tell me more about Crisstles, and how the Celts use them'.

'Oh yes, the Celts are Mesopotamians and they got their cristel majic from gypsies who got it from Atlantis, who got it from the Picts, or something like that - I don't really remember what I wrote 10 years ago. By the way are you female?'

'Oh yes, yes I am' I screamed 'how may I solve all my problems??'

'Well come and see me, and most importantly of all buy my books, buy lots of my books. You see the earth is going to be split by big volcanoes and America will become 2, and I need the money to buy lots of Camelots'

I shuddered and the mysterious Celtic faced faded into the mysterious Celtic mysts. I now know that all my problems will be solved by buying Crystal Balls and obeying Rhuddlwm. He must be an expert because he has two books about Wales, he can count up to six in Welsh and he was thinking of going to Ireland on holiday. How can people doubt that he is not the greatest Celtic magician since Merlin????

As I clicked on the Title and read the reviews, I noticed it only had one star, but it had several good reviews and only one bad one. Whats going on. So I bought it. Received it today. I really like it. I can't wait for the second volume. Please hurry.

I have done many Magick spells with this book. I have gained much prosperity.

I really like this book. It has Crystal information which takes you to a place other books can't. This is crystals and magick presented in a special way. But I really would like to get the second volume which has rituals. I have seen a copy but could not get it away from the owner. Very Good Book.

I just wish I could have found this book ten years ago, then I wouldn't have spent all that money on Crystal Books. This is one of the best which combines Crystals and Magick. Go to http://www.tylwythteg.com

The author obviously has a great love for Wales and also for his native America. Fortunately he also has a great knowledge of Crystals, Welsh Mythology and science. This makes it much easier for us English/Welsh citizens to understand him. I am embarrased to admit that I speak little Welsh and live near Hay-on-wye in Wales. But he really has the Welsh Extremists up in arms (They are the ones that don't want anything said about Wales, unless the OK it!) Crystals are a big thing with me and I have a collection of a hundred different crystals - now I know what to do with them.

They are obviously becoming increasingly hostile towards him as positive reviews appear on these pages. They are even advertising a Hate Site, which I looked at yesterday. Terrible. These children need to get a life. But I did find the authors web site: http://www.tylwythteg.com look it over. Does anyone have the authors e-mail address? I really would like to find out more about the Crystal Magick he is talking about.

Lord Rhuddlwm Gawr and Lady Cerridwen Gawr, of the United States, inherited the leadership of Dynion Mwyn. Rhuddlwm Gawr, BLA, D.D., N.D. was initiated into the Dynion Mwyn tradition of Welsh Witchcraft in 1966 and is an authority on the ancient Celtic mystery religions. He draws extensively on his Welsh, English and Native American ancestors in relating the various philosophies inherent in the religion of Dynion Mwyn. He is an author of several books, a successful lecturer, and holds degrees in Environmental Design, Naturopathy, Religion, and Computer Technology and is even now completing studies toward a Ph.D. in Psychology. In addition to formal academic training, Rhuddlwm has intensely applied himself to the study of Metaphysics, Occult Mysteries, Parapsychology, western and eastern philosophies, world history, Native American studies, archaeology, and quantum physics. Rhuddlwm is founder of The International Association of Cymry Wiccae, The Church of Y Tylwyth Teg in the U.S., and Co-founder of The Universal Federation of Pagans. He is an elder of Dynion Mwyn and Y Tylwyth Teg and has presented workshops on Welsh Witchcraft and Druidism since 1973. Merridden Gawr B.A., D.D., is a sixth level high priestess and Elder of Y Tylwyth Teg. She has been teaching Welsh Witchcraft for over twelve years. She holds degrees in Ancient Religion and Celtic Mysteries, and is studying Law. She was born in a small town in the Midwest section of the United States, but grew up in Kansas City where she was first exposed to college life. Merridden draws on her Welsh and Native American heritage in teaching the mysteries. From an early age she questioned her conservative religious upbringing and eventually rejected it to begin studies in Metaphysics. She met Lord Rhuddlwm in 1986 in Atlanta, Georgia and they were married a
year later. Merridden is an Elder of The Church of Y Tylwyth Teg, Inc. in the United States. Rhuddlwm and Merridden make their home
in the foothills of North Georgia, where they teach, write and raise their daughter, Brittany Ffion who is even now learning about her Welsh heritage. Their book offers you an "alternative" philosophy, one that gives back your personal spiritual power. Their charming writing style is unique among modern teachers. Using a rare blend of Welsh humor and mystical knowledge, they present complex information in a language anyone can understand. There is something about their words that you can't quite put your finger on, but you will find that reading this book may cause your life to change dramatically. They ask nothing of you other than you open your heart to a new aspect of reality.

First, I am not one to be taken in the Welsh Nationalist extremists, by the nasty people who seem to dislike the author, by con artists or shysters, including those who warned me not to read this book. So I did a great deal of research over the past months since first reading it. I have also looked at the documents and information generated by Taliesin enion vawr and Gerald Gardner. I have also explored Barddas and other documents written by Old Iolo. I have researched the bardic truths of Prince Llewelyn (which this book is supposedly based upon). I have explored the University of Wales Library in Cardiff and in Aberstwyth. The following is a summary of the results of my research: 1) The Welsh Druids and Pagans of the early middle ages, used Crystals as means of divining (as well as by runes and bones)They also used crystals in magick and healing. 2) Llewelyns Bards were descendants of Druids. 3) Llewelyn was favorably drawn to Druidism 4) there is evidence that Llewelyn was a Knights Templar 5) There is evidence that his wife was a member of a mystery organization in France. 6) I found out who Taliesin enion Vawr was and where he was born. 7) I found out who Sarah (Rhuddlwm Gawrs teacher was 8) I interviewed a member of Dynion Mwyn in Cardiff Wales who witnessed Rhuddlwm Gawrs initiation 9) I actually visited the area near Betws-y-coed where Rhuddlwm met his teachers. AND found it at the direction of a member from Cardiff. It is not quite as recognizable as it is in the book, but I believe that could be because of the long period of time between Rhuddlwm Gawrs Welsh experience and when this book was written. Does it contain some similarities to Gardnerian practices. Of course. Most Witchcraft in Wales/Scotland/Cornwall comes from similar backgrounds. I looked at the Witchcraft that was practiced as late as the 1600s, that which was practiced in the 1800s and that whicch survived even into the 1900s. It is all very similar in its practice. This Book is no exception. Read it for the story of someone who became drawn into the Craft and "Old Religion" as the Americans say.

This book is an inspired work of NON-fiction, but I am sure the Gardnerians will attack it, the Christians will attack it, and the "NeoPagan Welsh Critics will attack it. Don't listen to them. Listen to your heart as you read excerpts from it. It is not only neat, it is valuable as a good introduction to how a family tradition is practiced. In fact, its story has been copied by a great number of "nitiates" who claim to be Welsh Witches" but only read the book. Great Read!!!

I had previously read The Celtic Crystal Magick by Rhuddlwm Gawr and was very impressed with it. I had heard about it back in February. I immediately purchased it and have not been disappointed! I was healed of cancer and crones desease. this is a great book on Crystal Magick using the techniqes of Witchcraft. This is also abook which coordinates the Gods of the Welsh pantheon with Crystals and Gems. Buy it, I greatly recommend it. Go to http://www.tylwythteg.com and look for the crystal section. You will be surprised at the wonderful articles and knowledge there. Goddess be praised!!!

This book is about a system of Celtic Crystal magick from a Welsh Witchraft viewpoint. There is a great deal of Welsh material in this book as well as other crystal philosophies.

The authors use a great technique of presenting generic terms and ideas which masks the real philosophy of the Welsh Tradition, but
teaches you enough so that when you actually enter into training as a seeker of the Welsh tradition, it will be very easy to pick up the wonderful ideas on Crystals and magick and philosophy that they teach.

GREAT CRYSTAL BOOK
