Thank you for coming to see my set of parchments created in honour of the celtic horse goddess Rhiannon. This is the classic story of how the queen defied her family's wishes for an arranged marriage and how she met her prince. Also, how she was set up by those she trusted!
I want to include a bit about her that is not in my account, so you are sure you have the right goddess in mind:
Rhiannon, the Celtic goddess of the moon and inspiration was a Welsh goddess. The goddess Rhiannon's name meant “Divine Queen” of the fairies. In her myths, Rhiannon was promised in marriage to an older man she found repugnant. Defying her family’s wishes that Rhiannon, like other Celtic goddesses, declined to marry one of her "own kind".
In some versions of the legend, Rhiannon was the Celtic goddess who later became Vivienne, best known as the Lady of the Lake. She was the Celtic goddess who gave Arthur the sword Excalibur, empowering him to become King in the legends of Camelot.
The story of the Celtic goddess Rhiannon reminds us of the healing power of humor, tears, and forgiveness. The goddess Rhiannon is a goddess of movement and change who remains steadfast, comforting us in times of crisis and of loss.
Thank you so much, and please scroll through my ebay images to see all 10 pages.
