Pwyll prepares to
enter a battle to the death!
In the last episode, Pwyll had
started his battle training with Arawn's Knights, defended the
Kingdom of Annwn from strange, Brutish invaders and learned a
valuable lesson from Arawn's beautiful Queen. In this episode,
after a year of preparation and waiting, he gathers his forces and
travels to the Ford between the Worlds. There, he will meet with
Hafgan the Summer-White, the King of the Land of Summer and face
him in a duel to the death. Only one will walk away. Will Pwyll be
able to meet up to Arawn's hopes and expectations?
This episode is also the 5th
episode of the First Branch of the
Mabinogi and continues the story of Pwyll, the
Prince of Dyfed.

News &
Views
Ancient Britain and
the Atlantic Zone
We have some pieces of astounding
news to report in this show and start off with a brief review of
the research being conducted by Prof. John Koch of Aberystwyth
University along with Barry Cunliffe and other leaders in their
fields. Under the title of Ancient Britain and the Atlantic Zone,
the project is now in its fifth year and is exploring the
possibility that the ancient language of Tartessian is possibly the
earliest known Celtic language and that the Celts came to Europe
from the West. We covered the Year 3 conference and again in our report about
the possible origins of Welsh.
We also report that there is some
evidence that an inscription in the Tartessian language may well
have been found in Newfoundland indicating that the Celts may have
visited the other side of the Atlantic at least 4,000 years
ago!

Actors
Damh the Bard
Damh the Bard
Damh, taking on the role of Arawn
in the second half of our re-telling of the First Branch, is a
musical storyteller who works within the world of myth that cannot
be proved; where the Faerie really do dance on Midsummer's Eve,
where the trees talk, and the Hollow Hills take you into the realms
of Annwn. Where the Goddess rides her horse, guiding you to magic,
and the Horned God of old calls us from the shadows of the
Greenwood.
You can find out more about Damh
and his work on his website at paganmusic.co.uk or on our Contributor page.
