EDITORS COMMENTS
The Bardic Gorsedd of Pontypool, a historic and symbolic monument erected prior to the National Eisteddfod in 1923, is depicted in this evocative photograph. The Gorsedd, a Welsh cultural tradition with pagan roots, translates to 'seat' or 'platform.' This circular stone structure, located in the picturesque town of Pontypool, South Wales, was built as a sacred gathering place for the Bards, or Welsh poets and musicians, to celebrate their craft and pay homage to the ancient Celtic deities. The Bardic Gorsedd of Pontypool is a replica of the original stone circle at Stonehenge, which is believed to have been a site of ancient Welsh religious and cultural significance. The circular design of the Gorsedd represents the cyclical nature of life, the sun, and the changing seasons. The sunrise during the National Eisteddfod, held annually at various locations in Wales, is an essential part of the Bardic tradition, symbolizing renewal and rebirth. The Bardic Gorsedd of Pontypool is a testament to the rich history and enduring traditions of the Welsh people. The photograph captures the mystical and otherworldly atmosphere of this ancient monument, transporting us back to a time when the arts, nature, and spirituality were intertwined. The 1920s, a period of cultural renaissance and national pride in Wales, saw the revival and celebration of these ancient customs, making the Bardic Gorsedd of Pontypool a cherished symbol of Welsh heritage and identity.
