Berkeley, California , United States

In addition to being credited with naming the tradition (originally spelled "Faerie"), he wrote many poems and liturgical materials for the tradition, as well as initiating many others into the tradition. His "descendants" have come to be known as the Watchmaker line of Feri. One was "Nemeton", a Neopagan networking group. The other was "Forever Forests", an ecological mission dedicated to healing the planet through reforestation and other methods of addressing ecological issues. They held annual tree planting festivals on the land at Annwfn. Since then tens of thousands of trees such as Cedar, Pine, Douglas Fir and Redwood have been planted all over Northern California. After being recognized for his music at a celebration in Wales in 1976, Pendderwen returned to California, quit his job with the Internal Revenue Service, and purchased a plot of the Greenfield Ranch in Mendocino County. Gwydion Pendderwen died in an automobile accident on November 6, 1982.
