Arthurian Legend
Avalonian Goddesses
The Avalonian Goddesses refers to the goddesses worshipped by modern Avalonian witchcraft. ? They are the five goddesses whose stories appear in?The Mabinogion. ? Cerridwen, Blodeuwedd, Rhiannon, Branwen, and Arainrhod are all powerful goddesses in Welsh Celtic tales. ? In the Avalonian tradition Cerridwen, Blodeuwedd, and Rhiannon each take a third of the year as primary goddess of that cycle.? ? Branwen and Arainrhod are considered goddesses associated with the thirteenth and fourteenth moons (in other words special celestial occurrences).
Cerridwen is a goddess that is associated with the crone aspect of the triple goddess.? ? Blodeuwedd is associated with the maiden aspect (and in some cases the sexual aspect, since she was not a mother), and Rhiannon is associated with the mother aspect! ? In the case when Blodeuwedd is sexual aspect Arainrhod is the virgin aspect. As the wheel of the year turns the Avalonian tradition cycles through focusing on different goddesses associated with the aspect of the triple goddess that is related to that time of year. ? Right now in Spring we are in the time of Blodeuwedd, and she is the May Queen and the flower bride.? ? After that we move into the time of Rhiannon, and her motherhood is associated and symbolized by the harvest of late Summer and Autumn.? ? Finally during the Winter we will return to the time of Cerridwen and the dark times of the year, symbolized by her crone aspect!
The Avalonian tradition takes the original stories of these goddesses, and faerie women, and uses them to honor the natural world throughout the year. ? There is a lot of power in the natural world, and honoring the earth is a great way to grow closer to our most true selves. ? Avalonian witchcraft is rooted in goddess worship and feminine mysteries. ? This is a truly female centered practice, and honors the divine feminine within all of us, both men and women!? ? Priestesses within this tradition are known as Morgens, after the original faerie women of Avalon.
The five goddesses of Avalonian witchcraft are diverse, and all woman can find at least one that they feel deeply connected to! ? We all have innate power within us, and by honoring the divine feminine within ourselves we grow closer to the natural world. ? Honoring the elements, flowers, trees, animals, and all of nature is a way of learning about the deepest truths of our world.
I hope that you have enjoyed learning a bit about the Avalonian goddesses. ? Let me know you thoughts in the comments below!

亞瑟王傳奇
阿瓦隆女神
Avalonian【阿瓦隆尼亞】女神指現(xiàn)代Avalonian巫術(shù)的女神崇拜。她們作為五個(gè)女神的故事出現(xiàn)在《the Mabinogion》中。Cerridwen, Blodeuwedd, Rhiannon, Branwen和Arainrhod都是威爾士凱爾特人傳說(shuō)中強(qiáng)大的女神。在阿瓦隆的傳統(tǒng)中，Cerridwen, Blodeuwedd和Rhiannon各占一年的三分之一，作為那個(gè)周期的主要女神。Branwen和Arainrhod被認(rèn)為是與第十三和第十四次月亮【注：“the thirteenth and fourteenth moons”本人不太明白，就直譯了】(換句話說(shuō)，特殊的天體事件)有關(guān)的女神。
Cerridwen是一位女神，與三重女神【triple goddess；triple意為三倍，三重；此處可能指上文中的Cerridwen, Blodeuwedd和Rhiannon】的老嫗【crone?此處存疑】方面【aspect 形象？（意譯）】有聯(lián)系。Blodeuwedd與少女有關(guān)(由于她不是母親，她在某些情況下與性有聯(lián)系)，而Rhiannon與母親有關(guān)!在這種情況下，布洛德維德是性方面，阿拉羅德是處女方面。隨著一年之輪的轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，阿瓦洛尼亞傳統(tǒng)圍繞著與三位一體女神相關(guān)的不同女神而循環(huán)?，F(xiàn)在是春天，我們正處于Blodeuwedd的時(shí)期，她是五月女王【May Queen】和花新娘。在那之后，我們進(jìn)入了Rhiannon的時(shí)期，她的母性與夏末和秋天的收獲有聯(lián)系并具有象征意義象征。最后，在冬天，我們將回到Cerridwen的時(shí)代和一年中的黑暗時(shí)期，以她的老嫗【crone?此處存疑】形象【aspect】為象征!
Avalonian的傳統(tǒng)采用了這些女神和仙女的原始故事，并用它們?cè)谡麄€(gè)一年四季當(dāng)中尊崇【honor】自然世界。自然界有很多力量，尊重地球是接近我們最真實(shí)自我的好方法。阿瓦洛尼亞巫術(shù)根植于女神崇拜和女性?shī)W秘【feminine mysteries】。這是一個(gè)真正以女性為中心的實(shí)踐，尊重我們所有人內(nèi)在的神圣女性，無(wú)論男女!這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)中的女祭司被稱(chēng)為摩根斯【Morgens】，以阿瓦隆最初的仙女命名。
阿瓦洛尼亞巫術(shù)的五位女神是多種多樣的，所有女人都能找到至少一位與她們有很深聯(lián)系的女神!我們都有與生俱來(lái)的力量，通過(guò)尊重我們內(nèi)在的神圣女性，我們變得更接近自然世界。尊重自然、花草樹(shù)木、動(dòng)物和大自然的一切，是我們了解這個(gè)世界最深刻的真理的一種方式。
我希望你喜歡學(xué)習(xí)一些關(guān)于阿瓦隆尼亞女神的知識(shí)。請(qǐng)?jiān)谙旅娴脑u(píng)論中告訴我你的想法!
