REVIEW
5 out of 5
This was an excellent resource for both Rhiannon and Blodeuwedd, from myths, to connecting, to offerings. I greatly appreciated the pronunciation guide at the end of Rhiannon’s part of the book, as I’m not very familiar with Welsh words. Both Rhiannon and Blodeuwedd have bibliographies for anyone looking to do more research. I only knew a little of the myths surrounding both before reading this, and I found myself lost in the lore. Telyndru brings them to life, and translates what started before as medieval texts into something easy to read for the modern reader. It was like watching the stories unfold before my eyes. There was something about the way they were written that reminded me of the updated Norse myths I read in college. The note from Rhiannon towards the end of her section was interesting, and felt deeply personal, as did the poem from the end of Blodeuwedd’s section. If you’re looking for a duo of resources that can help you connect with both goddesses, this is the perfect book to grab.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jhenah Telyndru has always felt called to dance with joy in that liminal space which straddles the realms of history and myth, of individuality and collectivity, of the seen and the unseen. A creative mystic who loves science and values fact, Jhenah embraces the conscious co-creation of the future, while immersing herself in an impassioned study of the past. The path between, she believes, is where the mysteries are revealed and where true magic happens.
Jhenah holds an MA in Celtic Studies from the University of Wales, and a BA in Archaeology from Stony Brook University. She founded the Sisterhood of Avalon in 1995, and serves as Academic Dean of the Avalonian Thealogical Seminary. She hosts residential training retreats, presents internationally at conferences and festivals, teaches online workshops and immersion programs, and facilitates pilgrimages to sacred sites in the British Isles. A priestess in the Avalonian Tradition for over 35 years, she has walked a Pagan path since 1986.
