I'm a little puzzled about the question of whether bards outrank ovates. Many sites imply it's so, and on one particular site and also in the Gorsedd's own literature, it's stated explicitly. However, other organisations also seem to use those ranks (see e.g. ]) and the order there is that ovates outrank bards. If anyone feels like sanity-checking this, I'd appreciate it.

I'm a little puzzled about the question of whether bards outrank ovates. Many sites imply it's so, and on one particular site and also in the Gorsedd's own literature, it's stated explicitly. However, other organisations also seem to use those ranks (see e.g. Neo-druidism) and the order there is that ovates outrank bards. If anyone feels like sanity-checking this, I'd appreciate it.

I'd also like to know whether, given that all members of the Cornish Gorseth wear blue (as their site seems to say), there are nevertheless similar ranks within that organisation. Marnanel 03:11, Apr 7, 2004 (UTC)

The Cornish bards are all of one rank. The lone exception is the Grand Bard who is elected by a vote of his peers to a term of three years. He is the only one that stands above the circle of bards. Past Grand Bards wear a special cowl that honors them for the role the previously filled.
There is a strong link between the Cornish bardic circle and the round table of King Arthur. It very much reflects the democratic or egalitarian inclination of the Celts. Bcurnow 04:38, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
