101. Tuatha De Danaan Family Tree
     Charts the familial relationship among the gods of Irish Celtic mythology.  
     http://baharna.com/celtic/
     
     Extractions: Although a couple of reference works give family trees for the Welsh gods ( DK R ), I have never seen a family tree that showed all the relationships among the prominent gods of the Irish pantheon, the Tuatha Dé Danann. I started keeping track of the relationships I could find, and the result is the following incomplete and somewhat inconsistent set of tables. Note that Different legends often provide different geneaologies for the same people.

     Extractions: Ystoria Taliesin, 16th C. The figure of Taliesin is a complex one, as it seems to encompass both a god and a sixth century bard, both of whom seem to have been combined into one figure. He is the ultimate bard in Welsh myth and legend, and his story of transformation is one of the great Celtic tales. The first written reference to Taliesin is found in Nennius' Historia Brittonum , from the ninth century: §62. ...At that time, Talhaiarn Tataguen was famed for poetry, and Neirin, and Taliesin and Bluchbard, and Cian, who is called Guenith Guaut, were all famous at the same time in British poetry. The great king, Mailcun , reigned among the Britons, i.e. in the district of Guenedota[.] Here we see reference to Taliesin, Aneirin, and Talhaiarn, placed in the time of Maelgwn Gwynedd, which is later corroborated in the Hanes Taliesin . As Maelgwn is said to have died in 547, this puts Taliesin squarely in the middle part of the sixth century. At this time, Urien of Rheged is also said to have lived (ca. 530-590), and thus the hypothesis that Taliesin served as bard to Urien (as is demonstraited by the poems in the

     Extractions: Warriors of the Wasteland By John Grigsby We all know the story of the Grail : it tells of a wonder-working vessel that provides food and drink in abundance that is processed through a mysterious otherworldly castle. Within the castle is a king, known as the Wounded or Fisher King , grievously injured with a spear or sword, usually through the ‘thighs’ (a euphemism for testicles) and as long as his wound remains unhealed, the land is laid waste. It is the purpose of the Grail knight to find the castle and ask a specific question, (sometimes ‘whom does the Grail serve’ or ‘what ails thee, uncle?’) failure to do so results in him waking the next day with the land still blighted, and the castle gone. If, however, the right question is asked, the land and the king are healed, or he is at last allowed to die and the hero succeeds his position as the Grail King. It’s rather fitting that my book Warriors of the Wasteland , an account of my own solution to the Grail enigma, should follow so soon as after Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy’s brilliant Jesus Mysteries in the ‘Mysteries Forum’. For in my thesis I conclude that the origins of the Grail myth lies in the same rites of the ‘godman’ Osiris-Dionysos that they believe was the ultimate foundation of the story of Christ. The Grail legends, I argue, were in fact derived from a native British rite of rebirth centred on a Celtic ‘godman’ figure that in later legend is known as the Wounded King. So similar was this deity and his rites to those of Osiris that the Grail feast itself parallels almost point for point one of the most important rites of ancient Egypt

     Myth and history are inseparably intertwined in the tale of Taliesin the bard a welsh myth.

     Extractions: Myth and history are inseparably intertwined in the tale of Taliesin. Gwion is given the job of stirring the potion in a cauldron over a fire for a year-and-a-day, but just as he finishes stirring it three drops of the potion splash onto his finger. He sucks his finger to stop the burning and absorbs all the magical power of the potion, which is somehow concentrated in those three drops. Towards the end of his life Taliesin makes a famous prophecy about the fate of the British, which has tremendous significance in contemporary Wales: Their Lord they shall praise,

105. Harlech Castle
     Harlech is also inseparably linked in welsh myth with the tragic heroine of Branwen, Following the fall of the welsh stronghold of Castell y Bere,  
     http://www.castlewales.com/harlech.html
     
     Extractions: Jeffrey L. Thomas Cadw Guidebook s if its spectacular situation, foreboding might, and great power were not sufficient to ensure the fame of this magnificent castle, Harlech is also inseparably linked in Welsh myth with the tragic heroine of Branwen, the daughter of Llyr, of the Mabinogion . Mythology aside, it is small wonder that this is one of the most familiar strongholds in Britain. Seen from the bluff of rock to the south of the town, the view of castle, sea and mountain panorama is truly breathtaking. But not only has it an unsurpassed natural setting, as a piece of castle-building Harlech is also unrivalled. Even after seven centuries, it remains a testament to a military architect of genius, Master James of St. George . Here he adapted the natural strength of the site to the defensive requirements of the age, and created a building which combines a marvellous sense of majesty with great beauty of line and form.
