Arianrhod 9"

Arianrhod 9"

The Inner Peace of Motherhood is expressed by this holy Lady from Gaulish France, who wears a torc of rank and gazes quietly while breast-feeding her children. She may be the Welsh Goddess Arianrhod, associated with the Milky Way and mother of the twin boys Dylan and Lugh. This votive artifact was mass-produced around 100 CE, probably for household veneration. It was made by a Celtic craftsperson using a two-piece mold, exactly the technique by which we return her to you today.

[Carolino-Augusteum Museum, Salzburg, c. 100 CE]

February 2nd, known as Imbolc, is sacred to Brigit, as February 1st is the sacred day of St. Brigit.

Danu 9.5"

Danu 9.5"

Great Mother of all the Gods and Goddesses.

Danu, Danand, known as Don in Wales is associated with reincarnation, rivers and flowing waters. The Danube River takes its name from Danu, as do the Rivers Don in Scotland and Russia. She has been called "Holy Waters from the Sky" nourisher of the Sacred Oak. In India’s Rig Veda the Goddess Danu signifies "stream" and "waters of heaven."

Many suggest she is the Great Goddess Diana of the Mediterranean region. Danu is the Mother of Magick and the Fae. It is said her people, the Tuatha de Danann (The Children of Danu) were a magical race, some say gods, who came to Ireland in the time of the Fir Bolg (1897 B.C.E.) and worked their magick until they were driven underground by the invading Milesians around 1,700 B.C.E. Here they remain today in Tir-na-noghe, the "Land of Eternal Youth" as the Aes Sidhe, an invisible race of magickal beings.

It is from them that all Gaelic faery folk come. The Paps of Anu (Ana) are two mountain in County Kerry known as the living breasts of Danu. In this graceful sculpture the Paps and Sidhe reveal the dwelling place of the Tuatha on the skirts of Danu. Her garment also reveals the many layers of magick and the flowing nature of water's mysteries.

Kerridwin 9" statue

Kerridwin 9" statue

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 corpse-connected white sow, represents the moon as well as Kerridwin's crone/transformatrix aspect. The great bard Taliesin (often thought to be Merlin), born of the goddess according to a favorite Celtic regeneration myth, attributed his magic talents to her. She can be equated with Greek Demeter, Anatolian Diana of Ephesus, and Kali, all goddesses who both give and take away.

Morrigan statue 8"

Morrigan statue 8"

Morrigan is the Celtic Goddess of Destruction/Creation. Elaborated from an Epona plaque, this image depicts the Irish triple goddess: Ana, the fertility maiden; Badb ("bave"), the boiling mother cauldron, producer of life; and Macha, the death-crone symbolized by the carrion-devouring raven. Oral tradition says the Celtic dying god Cu Chulainn was met by the beautiful chariot-mounted goddess with red eyes and cloak. She cursed him to death that his blood might fertilize the earth, then transformed herself into Badb Catha, the Raven of Battle who induces panic in warriors. Morrigan evolved into Morgana Le Fay, sorceress of Arthurian legend.

Raven statue 7"x 4"

Raven statue 7"x 4"

Crow and Raven are shape-shift forms of the goddess (especially Morrigan, Rhiannon and Nanosuelta) and were considered oracles due to their distinctive voices. They were called Cathubodva or "Raven of Battle" in many Celtic myths. Called by the Irish Badbh Catha, this Raven Goddess (reproduced from the Felmingham Hall hoard, Norfol) is perhaps transporting the seed-soul of the famed warrior demigod Cu Chulainn. Place her prophetic presence upon your windowsill.

Sheela-Na-Gig 5"

Sheela-Na-Gig 5"

Sheela-Na-Gig: The Goddess Displaying Her Parts. This Celtic archetype of the Great Mother appeared in folk and church art by at least 1080 AD, but undoubtedly is of much earlier origin. She may be identical with the war goddess Morrigan, consort to the Dagda. One of her images is found near the ancient goddess shrine of Avebury, where she symbolized fertility; displaying her sexual parts was believed to ward off evil. Carvings of Sheela-na-Gigs may have accompanied the seasonal harvest custom of weaving corn dollies that dates from North European antiquity.
