A Night In Annwn

The Story of Willy Jones’ NDE

by

Owen Jones

Narrated by

Andrew McGuirk

William Jones, a sheep farmer from the Brecon Beacons, had led a happy life, until his wife, Sarah, died young. It left him devastated and seemingly bent on self-destruction. His daughter, Becky tried to help, but even she was losing patience with her father.

One evening, he is certain that he has died and been put out of his misery, but it was not to be. He recovered. However his life was never to be the same again.

He had discovered Annwn where his wife lived, and his newly found vitality changed his life and that of all those with whom he came into contact.

A Night in Annwn is a love story that spans the greatest divide – that between life and death; a look at a near-death experience and a new take on the mythological Welsh Heaven, which is Annwn.
Be prepared to see another side of Welsh Celtic mythology, but you will never think of death in the same way again.

William Jones’ NDE

William Jones’ NDE

A Night in Annwn is the story of William Jones’ NDE or Near-Death Experience. William was a sheep farmer in the Brecon Beacons of South Wales, about forty miles north of Cardiff. He led a fairly lonely life tending his flock, as one can imagine, but even more so after his daughter got married and his wife died.

He took to drinking too much, and one day, he had a heart attack. It landed his body in hospital, but his mind in a place they called Annwn, which is the old , mythological Welsh term for Heaven.

Most people will only associate Annwn with the Hounds of Annwn, which the early Christians tried to explain away as the hounds of Hell, because Annwn was believed to be underground.

However, this was a foreign interpretation, not the Celtic belief.

In A Night In Annwn, William is received by his wife after his collapse and introduced to the capital city of Annwn, which bears the same name. She takes him to the bustling market place with its shoppers and stalls, a church, a school and a tavern.

The revelations that she makes to William are challenging and thought-provoking to him, and I am sure that they will be to you as well.

After reading this novel, you might not agree with it, but I know that you will never think of death in precisely the same way again.

Read A Night in Annwn, a night in Heaven, and if you don’t like what I have written, I will be astounded if you agree with it, I will give you your money back!

However, I feel as if I am on safe ground, as there have been no takers yet.

I hope that you will find it thought-provoking and humorous.

Near-Death Experiences

Near-Death Experiences

Near-Death Experiences

Near-death experiences, or NDE’s, are phenomena that are recognized by science and religion alike and can be viewed from three standpoints: psychological, physiological and transcendental according to the entry on Wikipedia.

The article also goes on to mention the five stages typical of thousands of near-death experiences, which are: 1) Peace, 2) Body Separation, 3) Entering Darkness, 4) Seeing Light, 5) Entering Light. It states that sixty percent of NDE’s reach stage one, and only ten percent reach stage five.

I find the subject of near-death experiences an interesting one, so if you do as well, I urge you to enter the term into your favourite search engine.

However, if you would like to read my account of William Jones’ NDE, I have called the novel A Night in Annwn – Annwn being the ancient word for Heaven in Welsh. The Welsh believed Annwn to be the Other World, which was located under the mountains usually, but also sometimes on an island. In my story, William, an old shepherd, has his NDE walking home from the pub and is ‘rescued’ by his wife, Sarah, who had passed over five years before.

According to William’s perception of time, he spent only a night in Annwn and had a look around, although he could not remember much when he returned to his body.

We, the readers, however, can follow his often comical exploits and realizations in the capital city of Heaven in Wales, which is Annwn.

I hope that you enjoy my tale, but I am certain that William’s near-death experience will get you thinking about the greatest mystery of all time, which is life after death.
