Discover the magic of Wales with Alexandrian Witch and High Priestess Val Hughes of the Oswestry Coven. An Alexandrian for over thirty years, leading covens in both Oswestry and the Druid's isle of Anglesey, Val has long explored the deep magical heritage of her Welsh ancestry, first hearing tales from the Mabinogion on her father's knee. In this class, you will learn how the Welsh Gods and Goddesses are imbued into the very spirit of place, a reservoir of holy magic and wisdom that is available to those who seek it out. The Welsh gods and goddesses are not merely a substitute for other pantheons but have a power and identity all of their own. Alexandrian High Priest Brian Cain of the New Orleans Coven (and co-host of HexFest) will interview Val in an engaging conversation about the myths, magic, and spiritual practices of this still very mysterious land and how these ways can be woven into the fabric of Witchcraft.
