Her road to salvation was narrow and Non-Conformist but undeviating. She imposed some of her religious influence on her gifted son. This must have led to great turbulence within the marriage, and it is easy to understand why Dylan's poetry and his personality were so ambivalent. Religion figures largely in his work, but it would be a mistake to assume that his God is the merciful being of the New Testament, or even the stern desert deity of the Old. Certainly, there is little promise of future salvation in his work.

Despite early maternal guidance, Dylan was influenced most strongly by his irascible father, who refused to have Welsh even spoken in the house. David John Thomas was steeped in the diverse and poetic language of Shakespeare, which he often recited to his small son. These sonorous recitations undoubtedly had a lasting effect on Dylan. Dylan Thomas was born on 27th October under the zodiacal sign of Scorpio. The dark nature of Scorpio might be said to have found a natural home in Dylan.
