This book was a follow up to The Path of Druidry because it mentioned The Mabinogion so often in a way reverencing it as a Druid holy book. I seemed to retain only bits and pieces of the stories. This is a book of that I might have to read against to get the full gist of the stories. The book was hard to follow and very dry at time, but did have spots that were intriguing. At the end, one of the characters enters King Arthur’s court, but out side of that King Arthur only exist on the tongues of characters. Another story is about the Black Knight who fights against Arthur’s men until he is defeated. Another story was intwined with the magic of a witch for a King to gain a throne. Most the stories were filled with task that someone had to complete to obtain something that they wanted. No matter how fast his servant’s horse ran he could never catch her until he ask her to stop. One of the stories involved a man that was chasing a woman that rode a horse. The Mabinogion was a set of eleven Arthurian tales from Welsh legend.
