Happy Weird Wednesday Witches!
Hello Witches! I'm back with a daily dose of weirdness.
Dr. William Price died on January 23, 1893 at age 92. He fostered a new druidic movement in Wales that included traveling with a half-naked man named Myrddin (the Welsh name for Merlin) and a goat. A statue of Price is at Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taff. Well known for fighting against societal constructs of Britain during the late 1800s, he was also known for adhering to such principles as equal democratic rights for all men, vegetarianism, cremation, and the abolition of marriage, all of which were highly controversial at the time.
He has been widely labelled as an "eccentric" and a "radical" specifically during his druidic movement where he publicly shamed the construct of marriage, believing it to enslave women and started dressing in animal skins and growing his hair and beard long.
These are only a few of the aspects of his wild life so I recommend researching more about him! Maybe he will inspire one of you to have a movement of your own 😊
