Today marks Arianrhod’s Day, a good moment for myth.

So I’m curious: is there a myth or legend that has quietly shaped the way you love fantasy? One that echoes through the stories you’re drawn to, even if you don’t consciously seek it out. It might be something you encountered early, or something you keep circling back to without quite meaning to.

Stories have long memories, after all. 💙

January 12th marks the Day of Arianrhod—goddess of rebirth, stars, sovereignty, and the ever-turning year. She is change embodied: the shedding of what was, the quiet becoming of what will be.

May this day offer space to honour where you’ve been, and where you’re being called next. 💙

#FairyTaleTuesday #Celtic: Today is her special day: #Arianrhod, "silver wheel". `She has a twofold character. She pretends to be a virgin, and disclaims all knowledge of her son Llew, yet she is mistress of Gwydion. In the Triads she appears as one of the three blessed (or white) ladies of Britain. Perhaps these two aspects of her character may point to a divergence between religion and mythology, the cult of a virgin goddess of whom myth told discreditable things.`

Happy Festival of Arianrhod! 🌙✨

The star-crowned Goddess descends in her silver chariot to watch the tides and seasons turn. As an author, her myths remind me that every cycle in our lives carries its own purpose.

May her light guide your next chapter. 🌊📚

#FairyTaleTuesday #Celtic: Today’s #Arianrhod’s special day. `This, "beauty famed beyond summer's dawn," is mentioned in a Taliesin poem, and she was later associated with the constellation Corona Borealis. Possibly her real name was forgotten, and that of Arianrhod derived from a place-name, "Caer Arianrhod," associated with her. The interpretation which makes her a dawn goddess, mother of light, Lleu, and darkness, Dylan, is far from obvious.`

#FairyTaleTuesday #Celtic: Today’s #Arianrhod’s special day. `Gwydion proposed that Arianrhod should be Math's foot-holder, but Math by a magic test discovered that she was not a virgin. She bore two sons, Dylan, fostered by Math, and another whom Gwydion nurtured and for whom he afterwards by a trick obtained a name from Arianrhod, who had sworn never to name him. The name was Llew Llaw Gyffes, "Lion of the Sure Hand".`

#FairyTaleTuesday: `#Arianrhod (Arian meaning 'silver', and Rhod meaning 'wheel' or 'disc') has a special day, December 2, and she is also in some traditions honored on the full moon. She is a #Celtic Moon-Mother Goddess, called the Silver Wheel that descends into the sea. She is ruler of Caer Sidi, the Seat of Understanding. The moon is her “seat”, and she comes down in her “silver” chariot to watch over the tides, which her son Dylan rules.`

Who is Arianrhod?

She’s not your typical moon goddess…
