Instead, she became a recluse and a preacher of the Good News, wandering from Breknock to Mount Saint-Michel in Cornwall. There he met her nephew of sv. Kadoka (commemorated September 25). St. Kadok convinced her to return to Wales. There she built herself a dwelling on a hill at the foot of a large mountain, and exhausted a spring with healing water. Before she died, she told St. Kadoku that this place would fall into the hands of a sinful race, which she would torment and bring there other people who would find her abandoned grave, "and in this place the name of the Lord will be blessed forever."
