Why not a Gwyl Annwn?
The reason, I guess is obvious all the 'Sais Settlers; pouring in for some second wind 'Good Life' but don't blame the fox for doing what comes natural. The Sais are good at taking things over and favourite tactic is as the Christians adopt and adapt a bit of this and that 'native', hence you will find much of contemporary Pagan revivalism is quite 'imperialists' in nature and thus design. So you will find a lot of 'Celtic Stuff' taken aboard and mish mashed with the 'Saxon Stuff', in main this is because English Pagans are a bit embarrassed abot the association of Nordic Pagan Religions and Gods with Nazidom old and new!

However, Wicca in Wales is absolutly not out of any Welsh Tradition, as the Welsh did not have this kind of Witchcraft phenonema as much as the Anglo - American World has in their history or has revived as modern invention. One branch of Wicca actually claims Owain Glyndwr as their source founder but, we all know where that comes from, yes Shakespeare!
