Gwith-uhn. I think. At least, thats how it would be pronounced according to the little Welsh that I know.

I don't know much about it, but it seems kind of off to me. They claim to be Welsh, but also use the word Tuatha which as far as I know is Gaelic, and most of their assertions seem to be pretty much groundless UPG.

LOL...and they use it improperly...

Gwyddon is neither druidic nor wiccan but is an independent Welsh tradition claiming traditional provenance (and having read some of their material, I don't find anything to suggest that that's inaccurate). Sadly their leading exponent died just over a year ago but the group are still in existence.

Don't know who the guys in the link are, but the Welsh Gwyddon certainly don't have anything to do with Teutonic deities.

Unfortunately they don't have a Web presence as due to plagiarism they had to take the site down.

If her mouth moves and says the word "Celtic", it's a good indication she's lying.

I was a student of the group I posted before, but no longer ( great people reallyjust left for my own reasons). Sirona took the teachings of that group and published oathbout material (and added in her own Wiccan ideas). The Hps of the the group and SIrona had the same teacher out in Calif...

If you want more info on that contact the people at the link i posted. Hope it helps
