I 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.
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 "initiates" who claim to be Welsh Witches" but only read the book. Great Read!!!

A Great Book. I Dare you to read it!

Recently, I read The Word and have found it to be one of the most informative of all the titles which are supposed to reveal knowledge about Celtic Witchcraft. I have collected a large number of witchcraft books which I have placed in my book case. This is the first book I have read which speaks about Welsh Witchcraft specifically. So you see the christian and atheist reciewers who are trashing the book (not because they read it, but because they feel if they trash the authors, they will kill the sales of the book) relly haven't thought this attack through. S-O-R-R-Y. But I bought it BECAUSE of the obviously fake negative reviews. These reviewers have not read the book or they would have something specific to say about it. This book goes into great detail on many subjects whereas others may briefly outline them. By reading it, I could tell that many years of research and study have gone into The Word's creation. Reading the entries and topics about British Witchcraft, of which I am familiar with, I know that The Word is giving reliable and accurate information, not hastily put together. The Word is written in an easy-to-read style and is a veritable encyclopedia of Welsh Witchcraft. This book is definitely far superior to others on the subject. The topics shown far surpass any content found within other books. It reveals as much history as possible of the topic and subject matter and not a mere definition. It is authoritative, expansive, insightful and entertaining. I expect this volume will sit alongside many others as essential reading for those with serious interest in Welsh Witchcraft. Although there is something here for everyone, it is a rather large book with over 400 pages - and perhaps you might want to tackle his other two books in the trilogy first, The Way and the Quest. Those author-bashers, should actually read the book first before slandering it, but they would never admit to lying about a book without reading it. A lot of Christians do the same thing when a new movie or book is published which disagrees with their ideas.
They trash the picture, THEN find out that the trashing actually draws people to the picture instead of keeping them away.
GREAT BOOK!

Well worth the price

I find this to be a wonderfully well written book. Some find witchcraft to be evil and that if you have anything to do with it, you will go not get into heaven. What most don't realize is that this is not evil. All this book tells you is interesting facts about Witchcraft roots.

Witchcraft is very interesting and it is a religion. This book does not criticize other religions. Witchcraft is based on the old religion of Britian. It also has a mention of herbs and spices that are similar to what the American Indians did long ago to help pain and suffering. If you take a psychology course, this stuff will come up under supernatural.

This is real whether anyone wants to believe it or not. I strongly suggest that if anyone has a problem with it, please don't lecture or criticize others who wish to study it. We don't do it to your religion

The Word is a culmination of all Dynion Mwyn beliefs and teachings. Although it is a large book. It is worth the work to understand it.

I hope to have my 1st level initiation when I visit Washington, DC next June. It is so important because this is the most magickal book I have ever read, and it is part of me now.

What The Word has meant to me

Don't expect to go through bits and pieces of this book with no prior understanding of the craft and get ANYWHERE. This is NOT light reading by any stretch of the imagination. There is a LOT of information in this thing, and it's VERY specific. This is a book chock full of very good information, with a Welsh twist
and a very intense read. but understand, I recommend this book for the knowledge it imparts and nothing else. Unless you are part of a fairly sizeable (13 or more) coven, any ritual work taken from this text has to be COMPLETELY re-written, and unless you know what you are doing, well....good luck. This is a book that I recommend people read at several different stages in their developement as a Witch. And for goodness sake this is NOT a children's book!! Get Familiar with the workings of witchcraft before reading this one...Books to start with, The Quest and The Way by Rhuddlwm Gawr (the other two books in The quest trilogy of which the Word is the third; Then there is Green Witchcraft, The Power of the Witch (if you are willing to wade through Laurie Cabbots' griping and railling there is good information in there somewhere), Incense, Oils, and Brews by Scott Cunningham... and then there is this one...there are lots of good texts out there, you just have to wade through the fluff to get to them...another good reference on the BASICS, is 'the big blue book by Buckland' Buckland's Complete Guide to Withcraft ...well, that's all folks. Good luck and Blessed Be!
