Arianrhod: Celtic Goddess of Fate Fortune Destiny
By: Kristoffer Hughes - Moon Books - $12.95

Overview: Weaver of fates, steerer of destinies, meet Arianrhod the enigmatic Welsh Goddess of initiation and transformation.

Verdict: With scholarship, vision, and practical techniques to develop devotional relationships and meaningful rituals, Druid and writer Kristoffer Hughes takes you on a journey through myth and mystery to meet Arianrhod, the fiercely independent Goddess of the Silver Wheel and weaver of fates and fortunes.

With never-before-seen material in the English language - and hidden wisdom - you will be ferried across this goddess’ tumultuous seas to find her true nature beneath the starry skies of Arianrhod.

Having grown up with a family member that adored all that the Welsh goddess Arianrhod, Lady of the Silver Wheel stood for. Also known as the Celtic Goddess of the Moon, the Stars and the Sky she was known by such other names, as Margawse or Morgause, and by such titles as the Goddess of Childbirth, Magick, Justice and the Night.

In Wales, Arianrhod takes on other attributes as well, when she becomes the Goddess of the Wheel of the Year and the Goddess of the Full Moon, Destiny, Fertility, Death and Reincarnation. What is extremely important is the fact that Arianrhod is also the Goddess of Feminine Power, an integral part of the Divine Feminine.

Folklore has informed us down the years that Arianrhod was the most powerful of all the children born to the great Mother Goddess Don and her consort Beli; and that she was extremely beautiful. She was also believed to have been both sister and wife to Gwydion, and the mother of the twins: Llew, a Sun God, and Dylan, a God of the Sea.

Also a Magician Goddess and considered by most to be a Maiden Goddess as well, living her life in much the same manner as the Greek Goddesses Artemis and Athena; surrounded only by women, Kristoffer Hughes brings forth here a well written, extremely informative, and wholly encompassing new prose about the lady in question.

In conclusion, what we have here is a resoundingly forensic examination of Arianrhod, one which paints a rather stunning picture of the Celtic Goddess, whilst at the same time sprinkles in a dutiful amount of folklore and myth, which enables the reader to either re-establish their relationship with her or, as a newcomer, there is no better starting place then right here within these pages to discover just who she was.

About the Author - Kristoffer Hughes is a Chief of the Anglesey Druid Order, a first language native Welsh speaker and the author of 9 books and Tarot decks. Welsh language television presenter and actor. He lives in Isle of Anglesey, Wales, UK.
