Ceridwen and the Awen Cauldron

Ceridwen is an enchantress and goddess of Welsh Celtic mythology, often considered a figure of the Great Goddess. What must be remembered is that she embodies wisdom, transformation and magic, mainly as the guardian of the Awen cauldron, a potion of inspiration and knowledge. Her role goes beyond that of a simple witch: she is a mother goddess, mistress of life cycles, death and rebirth, and her myth is at the heart of the Welsh Bardic tradition transmitted in texts such as the Mabinogion and the Book of Taliesin.
