Priestess of Ceridwen - A Training
Come and join Priestess Vicky as we start a year long training to self dedicate as a Priests and Priestess’s of Ceridwen.
Ceridwen is the renowned Goddess of Welsh Bardic myth. Although primarily now seen as the Goddess in Her crone face; the story of Ceridwen is actually much more than that.
She is a Goddess of the harvest, of poetry and of the dream world as well psychopomp and great renewer.
Starting at Full Moon in Taurus in October 2010, we will learn about Ceridwens' nature as we travel throughout the year, meeting as the moon becomes full. We will follow Her great cycle of the chase of Gwion before finally meeting at the shores of Lake Bala in North Wales in October 2011 for the dedication.
The training is open to any dedicated Priest or Priestess of the Goddess. Please download and fill in an application form here. Vicky reserves the right to intuitively choose who will benefit from this training.
Please note that the nature of our work is transformative; She Changes Everything She Touches.
