Cymraes’s Magickal Journal.

Cymraes was born into a family of farmers (and Welsh shopkeepers), in a rural part of the Welshmarches, growing up between her parents home and her Grandparents dairy farm, across the fields, in the 1950s. Her gift of second-sight, as her Grandfather named it, was recognised at a very early age, and thus he began to teach her the ways of Mother Nature. These lessons were well learnt and applied to life, and as she grew into maturity, were refined and honed into what she later came to know as Traditional Crafting. It is to these simple days and the basics of her Craft that she has returned to in her Cronehood, after marriage and raising a beautiful family, into which she has given the basic lessons of her Grandfather, in the hope that the future linage will continue the line.

HOWEVER: Cymraes does not know who it was who taught her Grandfather, so makes no claim of a linage stretching down many generations… even though she suspects there may be one!

Magistra of the Companie of the Green Man, a coven set on the Shropshire/Powys borders, which works in the more Traditional lines of Witchcraft, Cymraes always welcomes those who seek out the Old Ways, and with this in mind set up a mailing list on Yahoo to bring together the metaphysical community of Powys and it’s borders.

Powyspagans was created in January 2008 and has achieved it’s mission statement with many events and gatherings across the county and on it’s borders, including not one, but two Walking Moots, (in the north and south of the large area of Powys) visiting Sacred Sites each month, as well as advertising many other events held across the area. Together with networking and interesting chat on a variety of esoteric (and sometimes mundane)threads, many new friendships have been forged on and off list. Long may it be so!

Cymraes has always held the belief that all of life is Magickal and Sacred, from the simplest action to the deepest Ritual.

It is not the length of time one has practised one’s Craft, but the depth to which that Craft is practised; SMIB!
