Taliesin: The Last Celtic Shaman

Rendering some of the literature of Wales available to the many, in English, without losing integrity. Ardderhog.

Amazing read. A highly detailed work of academic literature on the subject of not only of Taliesin but the bardic tradition in general.Highly recommended!

This book says very little about Taliesin's"life", but it is a facsinating assessment of his writings. If, like me, you enjoy poetry and folklore, this book is for you. It places Taliesin in context and draws links between him and other poets who deal with the same or similar material.

As with the Mabinogion, Taliesin is brought to life in this book. I recommend it to Pagans and none Pagans alike as a book with fantastic tales on each page.

This book gives a deep and comprehensive insight into "Taliesin" as a mythical and historical legend and a broader sense of the role of the "Shaman" in Celtic History.
