Description
“Ceridwen”, watercolour painting on commission.
Ceridwen is the shapeshifting Celtic goddess of knowledge, transformation and rebirth. The Awen, cauldron of poetic inspiration, is one of her main symbols.
In one part of the Mabinogion, which is the cycle of myths found in Welsh legend, Cerridwen brews up a potion in her magical cauldron to give to her son Afagddu (Morfran). She puts young Gwion in charge of guarding the cauldron, but three drops of the brew fall upon his finger, blessing him with the knowledge held within. Cerridwen pursues Gwion through a cycle of seasons until, in the form of a hen, she swallows Gwion, disguised as an ear of corn. Nine months later, she gives birth to Taliesen, the greatest of all the Welsh poets.

I absolutely love your artwork and have spent years trying to find an artist that can incorporate the symbols and myths found in The Mabinogion! I am looking to buy a set that includes Ceridwen, Blodeuwedd, Rhiannon, Arianrhod and Branwen. I am not sure if you have other Goddesses already created, but if not I am willing to pay to have you create them. We have a spiritual room in our home and I would like to have each Goddess painting framed to hang on the wall.
I would like them to be all the same size and probably all vertical (unless you think there is a better way...3 vertical and 2 horizontal, etc). Please contact me at support@ProjectFey.com. I really look forward to hearing from you!
