Ceridwen Statue

Mother of the bard Taliesin/Merlin.

Goddess of herbal wisdom and prosperity. Also known as Cerridwen.

Ceridwen or Kerridwin is the Welsh Triple Goddess. Her cauldron was the Celtic symbol for prosperity and rebirth, and she herself is the Mother Goddess, famous for nurturing her children. Her totem animal, the white sow (a symbol of death), represents the moon as well as Cerridwen's crone/transformatrix aspect.

The great bard Taliesin (often thought to be born of the goddess according to a favorite Celtic regeneration myth, attributed his magic talents to her. She can be related with Greek Demeter, Anatolian Diana of Ephesus, and Kali, all goddesses who both give and take away. [Design based on oral tradition.]
