The Magical Welsh crone goddess Cerridwen (Ker ID wen) was a shape-shifting goddess of dark prophetic powers, enchantment and divination. Cerridwen's cauldron (the name Cerridwen is derived from the Celtic word cerru meaning cauldron), is a powerful symbol of transforming magic, and of the lessons learned through change and experience, as well as divine creative inspiration.

She lived isolated upon an island in a lake in a place known as The Land Beneath the Waves, where she gave birth to a dark and ugly son named Morfan. In order to give her son a birth gift of an easy life as a brilliant and inspired man, she brewed a magical potion made from herbs and waters of prophesy under carefully monitored movements of the sun, the moon and the stars in the sky over the course of 13 moons. When a boy servant named Gwion, who was guarding the potion, accidentally sucked three drops of the potion, the knowledge of the universe was apparent to him, as were the magical powers of shape-shifting. Enraged, Cerridwen pursued Gwion, shape-shifting from one animal to another until she, (in the Welsh legend), as a hawk, finally ate him (as a grain of corn) and thereby reverting the universe's knowledge back to herself.

The grain took seed in her womb, and nine moons later, she gave birth to the radiant child Taliesin (the greatest of all Gaelic poets). He had inherited the gift of perfect poetry that could blow the seas into a rage, heal all wounds and foretell the events of the future.

She is the tigress mother, dark goddess, prophetic crone, who pursues her interpretation of justice with unfailing energy. If Cerridwen is speaking to you today, you should also pursue your goal with equal energy (if it's sure it's what you want).

If you have invested the energy in the fertilisation of the project you have been nurturing (as Cerridwen did in her magical potion), then so should you equally defend and fight for your right to see it to fruition.
Do This

Carry an orange stone to help Cerridwen's powers become apparent in you. Become the MAGICAL being you need to be - shape-shift and adopt a totem's magical properties in order to help you achieve your ambition.
