The Divine Feminine: Welsh Goddesses in Contrast to Egyptian Gods

Arianrhod is a Moon goddess. Her name means ‘silver wheel’. She is the daughter of Don, sister of Gwydion. Given the position of foot-holder to Math, and therefore supposedly a virgin, she nevertheless gave birth to Dylan and Lleu, cursing the latter, thus taking her revenge on all men. She is an aspect of the Triple Goddess.

Branwen is the goddess of love and beauty. She is linked with the Greek goddess Aphrodite and the Roman goddess Venus.

Ceridwen is best known in her aspect of the ‘Dark Goddess’. She was the keeper of the Cauldron of Inspiration and Knowledge. She causes things to be reborn (changed, by having been given her protection) and at the same time is in charge of the actual process of generation.

She has the power of knowing what is needed, whatever the circumstances. Ceridwen corresponds to Brighid.

Rhiannon is believed to be the Welsh counterpart of the Gaulish horse goddess Epona and the Irish goddess Macha.
