Wales is often overshadowed by its larger neighbors, yet it is a country steeped in myth, memory, and a fierce sense of the sacred. In this seminar, Margaret guides a virtual pilgrimage across rugged coastlines and story-laden hills, visiting holy wells, stone circles, medieval fortresses, enchanted forests, and long-lost islands once said to shelter Merlin himself. We begin at St. Winefride’s Well, the “Lourdes of Wales,” a centuriesold site of healing and devotion. From there, we continue to Rhuddlan, a medieval stronghold of Welsh kings, and onward to Caernarfon, a town dominated by King Edward’s imposing castle. We pause at the Druid’s Circle, a sprawling Bronze Age ring of stones, before traveling through the Llanberis Pass into the Snowdonia Mountains, where legends of Merlin’s magic still cling to rock and mist. In Beddgelert, we encounter one of Wales’s most poignant tales, and at Bala Lake, we touch the waters once associated with the cauldronbearing goddess Cerridwen. Whether you seek mythic itineraries, historical insight, or simply the pleasure of story, this seminar invites you into Wales’s enduring weave of legend, landscape, and luminous memory.
