Roots of the Past 🎶🧙♂️🌳🌿
Roots of the Past Roots of the Past is a podcast where ancient tradition meets modern life. Hosted by bard, journalist and music producer Dilwyn Mac AmhraĂn (Dilwyn The Bard), the show explores the living legacy of a Welsh-Irish Druidic lineage—one that claims to have survived in secret for centuries and predates the 1700s Druid Revival. Through personal stories, interviews, and original music, Dilwyn investigates what it means to carry the old wisdom he was taught from his late mentor, Fenra, into the present: from mysterious encounters and oral teachings to the blending of ancient ritual with new technology. Each episode invites listeners into a grounded, often humorous exploration of myth, nature, and spirituality—questioning what’s real, what’s possible, and how forgotten traditions might still shape us today.
