Page 17 - Taliesin's Rainbow

The Magical Godfather

When Taliesin was four years old, Cedar came into his
life.

Cedar began by tutoring Taliesin in abstract math;
and, played Dungeons & Dragons with him through-
out Taliesin‘s youth. Many of Taliesin‘s friends joined
them for all-night sessions, creating magical charac-
ters and journeys together. Ironically Taliesin chose to
be a Dwarf Fighter named Lesmo, who didn’ believe in
magic at all.

Cedar took Taliesin and his friends into the wilderness
on long hikes exploring and learning about the magic
of nature. The most magical journey was in the fall of
2016, to the Red Butte Wilderness, just behind where
Taliesin grew up with Cedar and Alex, his best friend.

Taliesin was the ring bearer at Cedar and Kara’s wed-
ding. This photo is from the wedding.

A month before Taliesin died, Cedar and Taliesin went
to Las Vegas to gamble. They entered a competition
with over 200 people and made it to the winning table
of 9. According to Cedar, Taliesin was a master of read-
ing people and understanding the mathematics of the
cards.

I am certain Cedar helped form the Barde Taliesin be-
came.

Cedar was at Taliesin’s cremation and witnessed his
rainbow at the Vajrasatta Stupa.
