info on Ceridwin

[MaeRose]

When I first started out discoving my interest in goddesses and mythology I was unmistakably drawn to a little figure of Ceridwin. I knew nothing about her, but she seemed so passionate sitting with her caldron I fell in love and was transfixed.
At the time my son was really struggling, and I was taking on an assertive mommy bear presence while fighting to help him that seemed to fit the folk lore.
I have since had a hard time finding further information on her, and am hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction.

Thank you.

Aye, the woman who would be maiden, mother and crone, perhaps dressed in a gossamer gown that reflects all tones of the earth, she is strong and sturdy yet agile and graceful. You can see all phases of her life in her face as she turns towards or away from you. Is she a haggard crone? Or was she a sensual young woman? With another glace you see the gental young features of a child. This Goddess has the ability to shift between worlds at a moments notice. She is the life bringer and the life taker. She had a cauldron that was at one time warmed by the breath of 9 maidens. She in trusted Gwion Bach to stir her brew of beauty and talent for a year and a day that was intended for her ugly son. In the end he spilled the brew, licked it off his fingers and was imediatly imbewed with the magic from the brew. A crazy chase that involved much shapeshfiting ended with her eating Gwion, then rebirthing him a Taliesin. It is a real cool story you can find in the Mabinogion.
There was a couple other posts here on that Goddess.
Try the search feature at the top right of the page, I would pull up the links but haven't quite figured out this tablet!
Blessings, Firebird

Thank you. I feel such a powerful pull to her. I think I have my new research project.
