Mhara Starlings's Pagan Portals - Y Mabinogi is the perfect introduction to the complex and beautiful stories foundational to Welsh mythology. Starling does a brilliant job of making the subject straightforward, even for people who may not have any previous knowledge of these tales, and she is honest about what we do and don't know about the material. Written in flowing prose that grabs the imagination as much as the stories themselves do; I highly recommend this for anyone interested in Welsh mythology, the Mabinogi, or Welsh culture. ~ Morgan Daimler, author of Pagan Portals - Irish Paganism and Gods and Goddesses of Ireland
In this beautiful introduction to the magical tapestry of the Mabinogi, Starling has succeeded in weaving together threads of mythology, enchantment, meaning, and deep, personal insights into a book that will open the doorway to a wondrous, mythical landscape. Written from the perspective of a person who has not only been raised and nurtured within these myths but also lived and breathed every aspect of them since her childhood. It is refreshing to read the words of a native person whose life is intricately woven into the beauty and magic of myth. In Starling’s safe, capable, and experienced hands, the reader is in for a treat and insights that can only come from one who has lived the myths. ~ Kristoffer Hughes, Chief of the Anglesey Druid Order and author of Cerridwen: Celtic Goddess of Inspiration and The Book of Druidry
