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 Amhraín (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.

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.
