Listen At YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BvFapDaYSM Thomas deLong (born Berkeley, California, 21 May 1946 – died 1982), better known as Gwydion Pendderwen, was an American musician, writer, poet, conservationist and witch.
Pendderwen became a student and “craft-son” to Victor Anderson and Cora Anderson, learned the Feri tradition of witchcraft from them, and helped popularize it in the Neopagan community. In addition to being credited with naming the tradition (originally spelled “Faerie”), he wrote many poems and liturgical materials for the tradition, as well as initiating many others into the tradition. His “descendants” have come to be known as the Watchmaker line of Feri.
By the early ’70’s, neo-Paganism was beginning to grow spurth of its current renaissance. One of the landmarks of artistic merit in this rebirth was Gwydion’s first recording, Songs for the Old Religion. This album has songs for each Sabbath as well as songs of the seasonal round and love songs to the Goddess and the God, and brought Gwydion a measure of fame and standing in the Pagan community.
Gwydion actually felt himself to be a druid, and was one of the members of the New and Reformed Order of the Golden Down, a latter-day Druidic sect. More information about that can be found in the book Margot Adler : Drowning Down the Moon. Gwydion actually went to Wales one time in 1976. The trip had a profound influence on him. He not only met his Welsh correspondent, Deri ap Arthur, but also many other active figures in the Wicca movement, among them Alex Saunders and Stuart Farrar. He made a pilgrimage to the Eistedffodd in Wales, the ancient Welsh Druid Poetry contest. He was amongst those called to the stage on the last days of the ceremonies, when foreigners of Welsh descent are honoured, an event which proved profoundly moving to him. He felt he had regained his path, and it was not that of hubris and fame. In visiting Ireland he had a terrifying vision of the Morrigan upon Tara Hill, which called to his mind his identification with the archetype of “the Sacred King”.
In the season of Samhain 1982, Gwydion was killed in an auto accident in which he was thrown from his car as it overturned. He seemed to know the time of his death was near : he had spent the previous days visiting family and friends all over the Bay Area. “Filled with joy we weep for the love known and missed”. Gwydion died at the age of 36. (Gary/celticmythpodshow.com)
( ) “The Faerie Shaman” ( ) shows an artist emerging into his own style. While the album ranges all over sonically (everything from Welsh balladry to American country and western) you can see a unique lyrical voice emerging. Songs like “We Won’t Wait Any Longer” (a song he famously sung instead of giving a statement after being arrested at a anti-nukes protest) and “A Mother’s Love” show a growing confidence with his material, and a deepening of concepts explored on his first album. While the overall album is a bit uneven and the flow between tracks a bit jarring “The Faerie Shaman” shows the promise that Pendderwen held as an artist and the great loss fans must have felt at his passing.
