Description
The Taliesin Sourcebook by Frank Olding presents modern, reliable translations of medieval poems and prose tales associated with the legendary Welsh poet. This collection aims to return these works to their unity as art, rather than dissecting them into individual texts. A central role in the spiritual lives of many thousands of modern Pagans and Druids is played by the story of Taliesin's transformation from a pot-stirrer to a radiant-browed Chief Poet. Individual poems have taken on significance in discussions about the origins of bards and their craft, feeding into people's sense of belonging in the Pagan tradition. By providing accurate translations of these medieval texts, this sourcebook seeks to clarify the development of the Taliesin persona and offer a fresh understanding of these ancient works.
