way cool information:
Levannah NMorgan, a Wiccan High Priestess based in Devon in the west of England, wrote a way cool 16 page booklet about Arianrhod. She has packed more information on Arianrhod into a very low tech 16 pages than you will find in any professionally printed full size book.
You can obtain her booklet entitled ARIANRHOD A journey to Spiral Castle from PO Box 314, Exeter, EX4 6YR, England. The booklet costs £3.50. That icnludes the cost of postage to the U.S. Payment must be in international money orders, UK currency, or Euros, because the cost of converting dollars costs more than that entire amount.
Levannah Morgan replied to the information from JBL (quoted below) about Arianrhod: I have been a scholar of Welsh Pagan literature for over thirty years and would like to tell you that there is no evidence at all that Arianrhod is/was a Moon Goddess or connected with the Moon in any way. She is the Goddess of the Corona Borealis, the constellation of stars which surrounds the Pole Star in the Northern sky and appears never to set. In Welsh, Caer Arianrhosd, and sometimes also Caer Sidi, is the name of this constellation. This is why She is called Silver Wheel. She is a star Goddess, not a Moon Goddess. In Welsh myth, it is Ceridwen who is associated with the Moon, not Arianrhod. You can check this out in any academic or other work on the Mabinogion. I think it would be a good idea if you could correct this on your site, as it would be a shame if young witches were to get incorrect information about this wonderful Goddess. Hope you dont mind me pointing this out.
Levannah Morgans fantastic booklet covers the ancient and modern information that reveals the mythology and role of this ancient Welsh Goddess. If this Goddess interests you, there is no doubt that you will want Levannah Morgans booklet.
