Witches and Witchcraft in Wales | Welsh Celtic Paganism & Witchcraft

[@glitterkitty1979]

I'm Welsh but I'm not a fluent speaker. I only have a basic understanding. Could you put text up on your videos when you say the Welsh words/terms? This would help so much. Thank you for another amazing video. I'm so grateful for your channel, xxxx

[@tamirodriguez4912]

This is the channel I’ve been waiting for! I’m American but have Welsh as part of my ancestry. I feel very connected to it, even though I never knew a living Welsh relative. I blew through all your videos today, can’t wait for more! ❤️

[@TarotandWitchery]

I'm right there with you!

[@ronniejordan2184]

Me too!

I'm witch from Poland but I'm living in Wales from 6 years now. Please don't stop recording sister! I'm waiting for more! BB

[@rOsiE-qx6vz]

I love your videos! You’ve helped me to connect with my Welsh culture as a pagan

[@AzuraDragonFaether]

OMGGGGG I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL! GODDESS BLESSED MY LIFE THANK YOU. I love your content and this video is so timeless and special to me. Thank you so much! 💘

[@ellasmith4468]

I’m from South Wales and I love watching your videos! I’m a green witch and have been practicing for a few years but recently I’ve wanted to start connecting with my welsh Celtic ancestors and getting into welsh Celtic magick🌿

You are a treasure. Another great video, thank you so much!

[@midnightunicorn5139]

I wish I’d appreciated the Mabinogi more when I was in school it’s only now in my 30s I think how much warmth I feel from the folklore of Wales. Although I was born in England I have welsh heritage. I was reading that only five people were executed in Wales for witchcraft. And in two cases the accuser was gentry 🙄 much like today, money talks. I read about Gwen ferch Ellis 🙏🏻💙

[@fawkirkbairns1699]

Hi Mhara. I am a Celtic Scottish Witch.. I have to say I love your work.. Many people in Scotland don't know that the ancient Scots e.g. The Picts spoke your language. Many place names in Scotland are Welsh. I am from Glasgow and some place names within Glasgow are Welsh.. I love your work. You are an inspiration,...,, I just subbed, its so great to have found you.. Thank you for what you are doing..

[@Inquisitor_Vex]

Not quite our language. It would’ve been a form of Brythonic. Which is like whatever was before old English was compared to English.

[@brianroberts5048]

Your book arrived yesterday and I'm looking forward to reading it. I remember in the 60s my Mam took me to see a witch in Hirael, Bangor as my palms were covered in warts. She dipped a needle in a bowl of liquid and pricked each wart. They were gone within a week. I think her name was Mrs Locke. In the 90s I was suffering with psoriasis and my Dad got a salve from a witch near Holyhead in Ynys Mon. I remember it was made from plants and was dark brown. It helped my psoriasis.

[@jobivens5021]

I am so excited about and grateful for your channel and your book!! I feel so connected to my Welsh ancestry and it has been hard finding correct information and folklore. I know I can trust your information and your energy is amazing as well. Thank you so much for what you do 💜💜💜

[@moonmagus]

I have just discovered your channel which is so illuminating and inspiring. I've been a witch since my teens - I'm in my 60s now - and am constantly learning new things. My family is Cornish but I have always been interested in Welsh Witchcraft though, until now, been unable to find out much about the subject. A few years ago, I started to practice Druidry and have found that it has actually added to my practice as a witch. I am now incorporating elements of both paths in my spiritual practice. Thank you once again for your videos.

[@ktollefson15]

Holy crap I am so excited for your book

[@francisfischer7620]

You give much credit to the scholarship of others. But YOU are a fine scholar! Quite wonderful you are! Bless you! Francis

[@briganfree3656]

Love that scarf and your hair like that suites you and is classy and attractive. You rock that look.

[@steveelic3833]

Hey, I live in Sydney, in Australia, and funnily, Sydney is located in the state of New South Wales (NSW). I’m a practitioner of Goetia (an Ancient Greek form of Classical Witchcraft that has strong ties with the Grimoire Tradition). I have always loved and the magic that emanates from the British isles, I love BTW and Cunning Folk practices, and the Arthurian Legends (I work heavily with Morgana Le Fay). I’m very excited about your book and watching all your videos! And I think I may very well join your Patreon… not only are you knowledgeable, but also very lovely to listen to 🌹 TC

[@sorryiateurcookie]

omg yess ive been trying to find good sources for welsh witchcraft! i have a welsh surname and alot of suspected ancestry around there, and ive always been drawn to celtic, norse, and most importantly welsh mythology and paganism. so happy ive discovered your channel!

[@TheWitchInTheWoods]

Really interesting. lot more Welsh tradition there than most of us know about.

[@Daoshengstar]

Love your channel! Please keep up the amazing work of preserving your beautiful culture.

[@TarotandWitchery]

Yes!

[@ncp3077]

Wonderful walk down the Welsh road thank you

[@mishapurser4439]

Thanks for making these videos! Please could you add text to the screen showing the spelling for the Welsh terms you mention in videos.

[@eamadrid1001]

I wanted you know that I came here after listening to your book on audible!

[@camo770]

Happy Calen Gaef! (Sorry if I spelt that wrong) this is mine and my sister's first Calen Gaef/Samhein as every baby witches. I mean very baby like fetus witches 😂 your channel has really helped us to connect with our welsh roots, thank you Mhara!

[@Pagyptsian]

So grateful for this channel and your upcoming book! Hoping people move away from the idea of a homogeneous "Celtic" Paganism, it lumping Wales in with England!

[@christinamorales6887]

It’s interesting and I have Welsh ancestors along with Mexican indigenous (Aztec) ancestors and Native American ( Apache) USA 🇺🇸 and I love hearing about the practices of my ancestors.

[@jamiewoodson4057]

This is fabulous! Thank you for sharing 🌙

[@coraljackz]

Im so glad I found your channel! My partner and I recently started our own channel where we will visit ancient sites and places mentioned in folklore and mythology across Wales. I've been struggling to find decent info on a lot of topics and you have provided me with a lot of the bits i was missing. If you have any places to recommend that are rich with welsh witchy history, please do 😊❤ diolch!

[@talon8537]

My mom's father was born in Wales but came to the States while still in diapers. My mom's mother was Native American. Dad's side is his father was German and his mother was a half&half of 2 different Indian Nations. I have always felt drawn to Rhiannon. In fact I created a statue of my idea of Rhiannon from polymer clay. She's a Centaur aiming her bow with 3 birds perched on the arrow. Rhiannon as creator of all birds is very intriguing to me. My legal first name is Jay. Where I live we have Jays by the thousands. First word I ever spoke was bird. When I went thru Tribal Initiation as a young adult my Elders named me Talon ( claw of predatory birds). My Native Heritage my family come from Hummingbird Clan. Speaking of my Native side and a connection to Rhiannon. In the 1500s my Tribal ancestors stole a herd of about 2000 horses and had that not happened the American Quarter Horse as it's known today wouldn't exist. I chose the name Bird's Nest for my Coven because a nest is a place of nurturing , growth , and transformation. Thanks for your videos. Wish I lived closer. Would love to sit and talk for more to learn about all things Welsh

[@bellaford00]

I just finished binge watching your channel and you are easily my new favorite witchy youtuber. Not only are your videos packed with great information but the way you speak and present is so engaging! You have this motherly/female mentor vibe going and it's so lovely and calming.

[@corporealmystic]

I just want to say thank you for these videos. I recently learned I am 75% Welsh and I have always been drawn to Magick. This is helping me to see my past and build my future practices. I hope you had a wonderful Calan Gaeaf! Magick be with you always!

[@Kaya1366]

This channel is amazing (and so needed!) and you are so beautiful and charming! Thank you so much for this!

[@user-jj3kf7hn6e]

Was just looking into buying your book and didn’t realise it was you lol. Is there any chance you could do a series about spells (if you practice them) are there any spells that are of Welsh origin? I would rather my practice be as close to 100% Celtic as possible ❤️

[@charlotteking3832]

Diolch yn fawr! I was born and raised in Wales but moved to England to study three and a half years ago! I’m a novice welsh Celtic witch and find you videos super informative and interesting. Can’t wait to see more

[@LifeWithLeighh]

Literally same

[@ericwhitfield8475]

Thank you making this video, I really enjoyed it. I didn’t know in Wales there wasn’t really the terrible witch hunts like in England and Scotland. Very interesting, best wishes to you Eric.

[@andrewhains3508]

this series is very very cool! i would love it if you gave us some resources on practicing welsh witchcraft... thank you for your videos! very informative!

[@LunaMajokko]

Thank you so much for this! I have ancestry from Wales but my family on that side doesn’t keep up with records other than the lineage tracing back to Wales.

[@michaelshakib7777]

Really loved this.

[@TheNemeton]

I love your channel! We are very different in our styles but I can't help but find it both elevating and interesting.

[@thornravencall]

I am beyond happy that you have a YT channel - I found you through TikTok and have loved your videos! I have grown up mainly in the U.S. but my mum is Welsh and I have been trying to connect more with that side of my heritage during this pandemic, especially from a witchy perspective. You have been such a wonderful inspiration/help with that :)

[@justinowens5718]

Diolch yn fawr! I recently started learning Welsh , and your videos are always a blessing and makes learning more interesting!

[@suki414]

love this so much , just stumbled across your channel ! thank you so much ! i live in Wales and i'm half Welsh , thank you so much , all the best xxx .

[@newhopetherapy1887]

I love your channel it’s very informative :D

[@cinnaminson0653]

That icon on your mantle looks like satan (or something sinister anyway) to me. What is the name of the icon? Thank you.

[@Athen239]

Did you leave KZbin? Can you please come back? Obviously it's your choice, but I'd like it if you did and others would too. This is educational and beneficial.

[@laurarosenblum75]

Sent Lora O'Brien a note about Anglesey on BBC 4X. It's a podcast and funny. Meant for you really. Oh well.

[@joyrampino8811]

I just started watching you and I'm loving you so far. I also realized you are the first person I have ever herd speak Welsh! Its shocks me that I have never herd Welsh before. I have two questions, one would you be willing to make a video that you only speak Welsh in and have the captions on the bottom (that might be too much to ask and if so I'm sorry) and also can you do a video about Druids, I don't completely understand who and what they were.

[@janrobnettwordweaver2227]

I'm from the U.S. (Southern California), and have been drawn to Wales for over 20 years. I never really knew why until recently, and then I find your channel last night. (April 1st, 2022). I'm incredibly fascinated by what you said in this video, but looked for your Bibliography of the books you mentioned at the end and ... can you add these? I don't know the spelling of the author names and will look for them based on title. I'm going to immerse myself in this area as I feel a significant draw towards it. (BTW, love your Baphomet statue. I have one exactly like that.) :D

[@damianjones6546]

Fascinating.

[@HBADGERBRAD]

I’m already a fan of yours from TikTok, I didn’t even know you had a KZbin channel! I just happened to stumbled across you. Marvellous absolutely marvellous! I’m so excited because I adore you I love you hair and you’re beautiful with a very friendly personality and glorious voice. I love your teachings and tales from history. Sadly I’m not from Wales but some of my dna 🧬 is comprised of Welsh & Irish family ancestry ~I’m from Calgary Alberta Canada 🇨🇦. My question is; do you know if any of the witches murdered in the famous SALEM WITCH TRIALS in the United States during the 1700’s were from Wales? Do you know of any famous witches leaving the old country seeking new adventures and new magical energy in the new world across the sea ~ like Canada mayhaps?😃🧙🏼

[@emmagrace3195]

YAY I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL!

[@esdarko]

Thank you Mhara for sharing SO much ❤ I think it'd be great if you could leave on the discriptions the Gaelic words you use. I knoow, I know it could ve a lot but I'd love to learn them. oxox from Argentina

[@jackieroberts7895]

Welsh is Brythonic not Gaelic

[@christinamorales6887]

Are the druids different than the celts?

baphomet isn’t very celtic

[@mharastarling2730]

No he isn’t, well done you.

[@NeonGreenTears]

@@mharastarling2730 interesting choice why?

[@mharastarling2730]

@@NeonGreenTears I’m a fan of what Baphomet represents. I’m also more than just a Celtic pagan, I’m witch and an occultist. Baphomet helps remind me of the writings of Eliphas Lévi, which was my introduction to occultism beyond the standard neopagan witchcraft.
