[Untitled][edit]

"Annwn was said to lie so far to the west that not even Manawydan ap Llyr had found it, for you could only reach Annwn by dying yourself. It was also said, though, that Annwn could be entered by those still living if they could find the door."

A source for this would be nice. I can't find it in the Mabinogion, although maybe I missed it. --Toastedcheese 06:20, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this part of the series on hells/underworlds when it is quite clearly a heavenly paradise? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.20.144 (talk) 19:37, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two very good points. Toastedcheese is right to say there is no reference in the Pedair Cainc and I'm not familiar with any possible folkore source (not saying categorically it doesn't exist somewhere) so I've asked for a source. The second point is one of the things that most struck me when I saw the article (apart from the inevitable "Celtic Mist" and neo-Druidic stuff creeping in). Annwn was an Otherworld paradise; it should not be in a series - boldly displayed in the infobox - on hells and underworlds. The inhabitants of Annwn were gods or immortals, not the souls of the dead. I've reworded the intro etc. accordingly. More needs doing sometime. The infobox should be removed or replaced.

The more I see of that totally inappropriate infobox the more it annoys me. Annwn should not be in with Gehenna, Hades, Hell and Limbo! Unless someone comes up with a very good reason over the next few days for keeping it I'm going to remove it and also delete Annwn from the template. Enaidmawr 00:07, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand I may as well do it now. I've removed Annwn from the template as well. Enaidmawr 00:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just had a quick edit of the 'Annwn in cinema' section, changing the spelling error (Annwyn) in the title as well as the mis-spelling of Ebrill and the statement that the film is set in Ireland. The whole paragraph is a mess but I'm not too keen on rewriting it as I'm new at this and not sure what I'm doing! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.29.180.80 (talk) 20:45, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all, apologies in advance as this is my first ever post on Wikipedia, but I've just read this article and thought it was odd that it was stated that Annwn was associated with Heaven in the Welsh tradition. I'd say it was the opposite - it's always been associated with the netherworld, hell, Hades etc. Is it worth amending the article to reflect this?
