Which Celtic Goddess Are You?

Cerridwen is the Welsh mother goddess and a symbol of fertility, creativity, inspiration, knowledge, and good luck. According to the myths, she owned a bottomless cauldron filled with an elixir that gave creativity and wisdom. Drinking this elixir stimulated both the mind and body, and gave motivation and ability to 'keep on keeping on,' even when times were tough. As Cerridwen, you seek creative solutions and are able to be flexible and adjust to whatever life may throw your way.

The Irish goddess Danu is the original Earth Mother and the most powerful and magical matriarch of all. Her children include not only the Welsh people, but also the gods, wisdom, the wind, and the fairy folk. In fact, Irish myth tells that when the fairies first reached Ireland, it was Danu who gave them sustenance, life, and law, and the Irish name for fairies--the Tuatha De Danann--means 'People of the goddess Danu.' As Danu, you use your power to nurture and spread love to those around you.

Brigid is the original High Mother goddess of Ireland, protector of smiths, healers, and poets. A sun goddess who originally represented the Fire of Inspiration, the Fire of Hearth, and the Fire of the Forge, she is one of the few Celtic gods to have been adopted into the Christian Church and is known in Ireland today as St. Brigid or St. Bride. As Brigid, you embody resilience. Your power is your ability to inspire people, and you bring sunshine with your presence.

Welsh goddess Arianrhod (pronounced ah-ree-AHN-rhohd) was a powerful and mystical goddess who ruled Caer Sidi, the tower of initiation where poets came to learn the wisdom of the stars and spirits spent time in between incarnations. As the Lady of the Silver Wheel, Arianrhod is associated with astronomy, and she is said to govern childbirth, the moon, fertility, and fate. As Arianrhod, you weave both the practical and ethereal into your life, and your power is the ability to bring the spiritual to the earthly realm.

Morrigan is known as the Great Queen and is the Irish goddess of war, death, prophecy, and passionate love. She is an Earth Goddess in the true sense, representing the dark and sensual side of life. Morrigan is a shapeshifter and often appears in myth as a black raven or crow. As Morrigan, you understand that life is not always fair and that alongside love and light come battles and destruction. Your power is to bring equality, and you act as the hand of judgement, knowing that there is always someone who benefits from every misfortune.

Both Earth Mother and Virgin, Epona was a Celtic fertility goddess known as the Divine White Mare. This name may have been what allowed her to cross over into the Roman pantheon, where she became famous as the goddess of the Roman cavalry and protector of horses and foals. As Epona, you are able to cross cultures and merge easily between groups. Your power is the strength of the horse. You are wild and graceful yet loyal and strong, a trustworthy supporter who will work tirelessly for a cause yet retains their noble spirit and proud independence.
