This calendar is inspired by the shape and essence of the Celtic witch and goddess Cerridwen.
I wandered for two years in these magical mountains and mysterious depths under the guidance of the Priestess of Avalon, Adoratrix of Cerridwen Bee Helygen. And now Cerridwen’s nature as wife, mother and goddess becomes increasingly clear. Yes, she is a goddess of darkness who carries within her a shining light and a unique wisdom.
Cerridwen breathes in every woman’s heart and beats in every woman’s womb, giving us the strength to create, the ease to enjoy life, and the courage to let go when the time comes. Through her story, she shows how magic works, how to live in harmony with nature, how to stay alive with the support of plants and animals and fulfill your dreams. She is known as the Cauldron Witch, who brews a transformative potion in her cauldron. This potion is different for everyone, but remember that it is your responsibility to make it. In her cauldron life begins and in her cauldron also sits death. It is our abilities to bring in balance both nectars in our lives.
Cerridwen’s year begins in November, the darkest time in nature. The Earth rests and prepares for winter. Likewise, quiet time is meant for us. Time to think, look back on the leaving year, be grateful and at peace. Before new light is born, before new ideas and inspiration rise on the wings of the wind. Only during darkness the new seeds are sown.
This calendar is a guide to moving through the year. Every gorgeous woman here embodies some aspect of Cerridwen. She is not just a wise woman, but in her lies the whole cycle of life that she has gone through and is now approaching the threshold into invisibility. Soon she will pass through this veil, but there is still time…
