It just occurred to be.... What about Branwen, White Ravenʼs, connection to the moon. She is quiet and her life was full of sorrow. She has that reflective quality with the men in the story, though not normally thought of as a Moon Goddess. Branwen also dies of sorrow but her presence remains in the heart. I think of her when i go out in the garden at dusk and see the moon...Thank you for a wonderfully interesting video. With reference to the Robert Bly conversation at the end of the video, Mantak Chia in his Astral healing book I shared on FB, says you must build the lower Dantien (cauldron) and GROUND yourself before being able to meditate with the star energies.
I find Robert Graves statement about prophecy in this book interesting - That prophecy comes by way of a conscious and focused mind - and not by way of a trance state.
" The Golden Bough" - Years ago, and I do not think I researched it then & could not google it now, but found a statement that said this was a favorite book of H. Goering - Still trying to wrap my mind around this idea.
This excerpt is from Amazon's description of the newest version: [this]new edition of the Old Celtic Dictionary provides a one of a kind exploration of the Celtic language. Vincent F. Pintado spent over thirty years researching and compiling over 9,000 primitive and ancient Celtic words and brings them together in one concise volume for the first time. The Old Celtic Dictionary introduces readers to a language stretching back nearly two thousand years. Focusing on everything before 400 A.D., Pintado breaks down the primitive letters and has the most comprehensive word list ever put together. Perfect for academics and serious hobbyists, this is a worthy addition to any collection. Complete with detailed ties to Gaelic, Galician, and Welsh languages, there has never been a more thorough study of Old Celtic.
My Old Celtic Dictionary is copyright 2007. It is my understanding that the words in the dictionary are classified as Primitive or Ancient Celtic (prior to approximately 400 A.D.)
@laurysinecayr2598 I suspect 'Druantia' is from The White Goddess. 1948 - we would need a source of evidence that predates 1948. 2007 is not it. I don't mean to be deliberately antagonistic, just trying to be clear about facts.
Does Arianrhod have a relationship to the Norse Norns - I have seen these as spinners of fate which I do relate to a Silver Wheel - there significance to trees by way of the Yggdrasil tree - and on at least one occasion have seen their representation incorporating the Sheila na gig. My understanding is that they are 3 separate goddesses Nothing specific here as a Triple Moon Goddess - but it certainly rhymes. As I believe Manly Hall tells us, Wisdom sometimes is not seeing something but seeing through something.
It is a bit tenuous but, the Welsh corresponded Arianrhod to the constellation of Corona Borealis - which the Greeks equated with Ariadne - who helped Theseus through the Labyrinth with a thread - so like the Norns weaving the threads of fate. But I cannot think of Arianrhod having any thread or Web of wyrd type symbolism, nor being threefold.
@@theoghamgrove7169 My understanding of King Arthur in the popular realm is that much of it does not have an historical basis as it is understood - The writings of Ralph Ellis . Just as you have shown that there is not an historical basis in myth/folk lore for the English Tri-fold goddess. It is very notable to me that such important concepts are such odds w/ history
@charleshester4582 in Welsh mythic lore, Arthur had three queens and each was called Gwenhwyfar. But yes, Arthur is mythic rather than historic. There is archaeology of three female figures, but they have no name, inscription.
