Ceridwen

Ceridwen is a Celtic goddess of witchcraft, rebirth and transformations.

There are several interpretations of her name's meaning, like "sacred" or "blessed", "sickle of the moon."

She is one of the most famous goddesses in the modern paganism. Some of her priests believe that it is Ceridwen, like a Crone, holding the torch, who is able to show the way in a difficult situation and help to find yourself.

Interesting: the Welsh bards, including Taliesin, called themselves the sons of Ceridwen.

Only those, were looking for inspiration from this Goddess herself, were allowed into the Bard rank. In some tales, Ceridwen is also considered as the Goddess of death and renewal.

She is always depicted with the cauldron - symbol of many mother Goddesses, which personifies fertility. Ceridwen is also some kind of a water Goddess, thanks to which all living things grow.

According to legends, Ceridwen lived in the depths of Lake Tegid, in Wales.

In order to somehow compensate for the ugliness of her son, Affagdu, Ceridwen brewed a drink in the cauldron of knowledge for one year and one day, which was to make Afagdda wise and respected. Her second son, Gwion Bach, kept an eye on the cauldron. However, Afagdd was not destined to receive a prophetic gift: a drop of potion hit a Gwion Bach's finger, and he licked it without a second thought. Enraged, Keridwen caught and ate the culprit, but then revived him in the body of Taliesin, the greatest of the Welsh bards of all time.

Pray to her, when you are in need of food, wealth, tenderness and love in your life. She is wise, merciful and kind lady and she never refused to help people.
