The Goddess of
Transformation
From these different
tales we can make a composite picture of this
Celtic goddess, who watches over powerful people
from birth to rebirth. In the fire of Her forge,
or the water of Her womb, She transforms an
initiate; She is the source of vision and wisdom,
the giver of spiritual or temporal power. The
draught of Her vessel, be it Well, Cauldron, or
Grail, nourishes, heals, inspires. She is the
fearsome, spell-wreaking Morgan and the devouring
Ceridwen. She takes the souls of the dead to
their after-life or restoration across the sea,
beneath Her apple trees. And She speaks to us
yet, in dreams and myth. We lie still in the dark
folds of Her cloak, waiting for the moment when She
will turn it over to reveal the fire of the
stars.
