Brief History of Welsh Faerie Witchcraft in America
It started in the 60's...
1965 In June of 1965, Rhuddlwm, an American working in Europe, meets Sarah Llewellyn, a Welsh Witch on holiday, on the Isle of Majorca off the coast of Spain. From that meeting comes an instant spiritual connection. (Robert Graves, who wrote The White Goddess, spent the last year of his life about 2 miles from their meeting-place.)
1966 Rhuddlwm is initiated into the Welsh Tribe of Dynion Mwyn, "The Gentle Folk", near Betws-y-Coedd, in North Wales. This is a family of Witches that claim a lineage from 1282 A.D. and Prince Llewellyn of Wales. Thus begins the first step on Rhuddlwm's journey to awakening. He is given the name Rhuddlwm Gawr by the elders of that tradition, and told that he is to return to the United States and begin secretly to teach the Craft of - Y Tylwyth Teg - the Clan of "The Fairy Folk".
Later, he writes that he feels unprepared and unwilling to teach, but after returning to the United States, he joins a major Aerospace company in Landover, Maryland. He is immediately transferred to Houston, Texas and assigned to NASA's Apollo Manned Lunar Project. He tries to ignore the elders words but soon finds himself teaching an introductory class in Witchcraft in a small Houston bookstore.
1967 In March of 1967, Rhuddlwm is transferred to Washington, DC, where he establishes the first Coven of Y Tylwyth Teg in the U.S. There is an enthusiastic response by many seekers and students in the area who were hungry for any kind of Earth-oriented spiritual teaching. He initiates Lady Dana who becomes his first High Priestess. Later, the "Coven of Y Tylwyth Teg" expands into a much larger organization - "The Church of Y Tylwyth Teg in America." Y Tylwyth Teg's first coven brings together Wiccans and Pagans from several traditions, including solitaires and traditional Welsh Celtic Pagans. Y Tylwyth Teg presents its first Spring Festival "The Gathering of the Tribes" (the first Pagan Gathering of the Tribes recorded) and its first Midsummer celebration "The Battle of the Winter and Summer Kings" presided over by Lord Rhuddlwm and Lady Dana. Y Tylwyth Teg begins to grow and establish sister covens in Florida, Texas, California and Georgia. During a trip to Bermuda, Rhuddlwm rendezvous with Sarah and is initiated to higher levels of responsibility. In late November of 1967, Rhuddlwm is instrumental in founding "The Association of Cymry Wiccae" as an assembly of Welsh Traditional Covens in America.
1968 Y Tylwyth Teg establishes a worship site on private land near Landover Maryland. A ritual circle is created and dedicated in a grove of oak trees near the main house. Rhuddlwm, with the help of several Witch leaders of Welsh heritage, organizes the first annual Conclave meeting held in Spring 1968 at the Gathering of the Tribes. During this first meeting, many speak of the "primal energy" that is generated, and the love that seems to permeate everything. As a result of this meeting, a "conclave" of three Welsh Witchcraft covens is born. This conclave was thereafter referred to as the "The Grove of The Crystal Dragon." It consists of "The Coven of The Crystal Dragon", "The Coven of Merlin" and "The Coven of Ganymede."
Sharing a common vision of the ancient gods and the survival of the Dynion Mwyn Pagan religion, it is agreed that because of the current uncertainties of the day, The Association is to keep a low profile and operate in secret for as long as possible. The three groups work together over the next two years quietly disseminating knowledge and information when needed. In the Fall, Y Tylwyth Teg begins sponsoring private classes and lectures in Alexandria, Virginia.
1969 Y Tylwyth Teg through one of it's members, Beverly Sailer (Lady Arionrod), forms an outer court pagan group known as "The Family". Due to several members being influential government employees, the members vote to keep the true purpose of "The Family" a secret. The second annual Conclave and pagan outer-court festival at the Gathering of the Tribes, is held in a forest near Cumberland, Maryland.

1975 Until October of 1975, the Church and Association grows very slowly and deliberately. During the Samhain ritual, one of our elders receives a spiritual insight which changed his life forever. He sees figures of a Woman and a man merge within an Oak tree. It is explained to him by his spiritual guides and his teacher Sarah, that this means that his future task is to help relink humanity with Nature. The Association adopts the Goddess Cerridwen as its muse, and begins working to disseminate the concept of re-linking with Nature. Shortly thereafter, one of the original founders of the Association (Coven of Ganymede) leaves the group. The two remaining founders spend the Fall redefining their roles within the Association.
