With his new magical knowledge - Gwion shape changes into a bird, a fish, a hare, and a grain of corn, as he is chased by Ceredwen as a Hawk, an Otter, a Hound and then a great white Hen. Gwion hides inside Ceredwen, and then is cast out into a little boat upon the sea, where he is nurtured and protected by the wild birds, and the ancient Salmon of Wisdom.
Gwion transforms into the great Taliesin - poet and mystic.

SAMPLE TEXT: Once upon a time, in the ancient land of Cymru, in the land of the dragons, where the golden warriors sleep in the old grey mountains, where the wise salmon sing to the poets, and the poets sing to the silver stars, there was once an ordinary boy.
AND
The birds float upon the water, singing to Gwion the Song of Journeying.
“Mar a bha, mar a tha, Mar a bhitheas Gu brath, Ri traghadh, ‘S ri lionadh! Ri traghadh, ‘S ri lionadh!”
