St Tydecho and St Tegfedd: Druidic Deities as Welsh Saints

Thank you for looking. I was wondering what was so unusual about it! The Cemmaes one used to have 'several enormous' yew trees, but most they were cut down in the 18th century. It doesn't tell us if they were arranged in a grove. I thought ...

St Tydecho and St Tegfedd: Druidic Deities as Welsh Saints

I have just looked and found two. The one at Mawddwy in the St Asaph diocese is sometimes described as being at Mallwyd and elsetimes at Mawddwy. This leads people to think that there are three, unless there is a third that I have missed. ...

St Tydecho and St Tegfedd: Druidic Deities as Welsh Saints

Since replying last time, I've also made a discovery. There are two MAMMOTH bones above the doorway in St Tydecho's Mallwyd church. I'm not just talking big bones, but actual mammoth bones. How cool is that? And yes, lovely touch regarding ...

St Tydecho and St Tegfedd: Druidic Deities as Welsh Saints

Having re-read this article I am convinced that we are dealing with a pair of neolithic deities. Tydecho is an elemental male: hair-covered and thus the embodiment of primitive, wild masculinity. I therefore suspect that he was a fertility ...

Wedding Program Fans For Outdoor Wedding Ceremonies

Fan programs are a great idea. We made our own order of service, but it was just a traditional book style. We kept it in line with our wedding invitations to keep some sort of theme between all the stationary. We used the same for the menus, ...

Your Wedding Planning Checklist: Everything You Need to Start Planning Your Wedding

It is such a chore, and the day goes by so quickly. We did our planning alone. My mum helped with making the corsages once I told her what I wanted and my mother-in-law made the sashes for the chair (again, once I told her what I wanted). The ...

St Tydecho and St Tegfedd: Druidic Deities as Welsh Saints

St Tydecho and St Tegfedd: Druidic Deities as Welsh Saints

I am about to set out for the allotment, so I will not re-read until later today, but I am not convinced that everyone who has been classed as a saint really was one. Some of the early saints are re-interpreted pagan deities,and there are others ...

St Tydecho and St Tegfedd: Druidic Deities as Welsh Saints

Thank you very much! It's something that's been bubbling away for nearly a month now, though not entirely with any focus until the last few days. Daft as it sounds, it felt almost destined. I kept encountering the information that fed into it, ...
