Mwyn holds certain religious symbols to be of primary importance. Each God and
Goddess is represented by a totem animal which symbolizes the power of the deity in our
daily life. This relationship between animals and deities, has over the eons, built a
complex relationship of religious rituals, energies of the land, and magickal practices.
This same philosophy is applied to trees, plants, mountains, springs and the weather.
Every Land or tribal location has a Sacred Centre of Divine Being. Following is a summary
of major Welsh totem animals and their divinities:
The Owl of Wisdom is associated with Bloeddewedd, and is a symbol of
knowledge.
The Stag is associated with Cernunnos. This is the aspect
of the wild hunt in which the spirits of the dead are transported to the underworld. The
horns of the stag are symbolic of the Lord of the Animals. Also associated with Merlin.
The Serpent is also associated with the God Cernunnos and is
found on Torcs, the sacred neck ornament. Some serpent Torcs also have a ram's head which
symbolize the power of nature and animals.
The Horse is associated with the Goddesses Epona and
Rhiannon. This represents the power and fertility of the horse connected to the Kingship
of the clan.
The Bear is associated with the Goddesses Artio and Andarta
and the Gods Arthgen (Arthur) and Artogenus. The Bear symbolizes the King's connection to
the land as well as the Constellation Arcturus, The Great Bear.
The Bull is associated with the God Esus, trees, and the
three Cranes.
The Boar is associated with the Goddess Ceridwen and the
God Math. The Pig is thus closely associated with shape shifting transformative powers as
well as necromancy and flight. Other important totem animals are:
The Raven is associated with the goddess Morrigna,
The Celtic Cross is the equal armed cross in a circle which is the
symbol of male and female energies confined only by the boundaries of the Universe
associated with the Goddess Donn.
The Winged Ankh represents eternal life and strength of the soul
associated with the Goddess Donn
The Pentacle represents spiritual and earthly power; the point
of the pentacle is always pointed up, meaning good, never down, which symbolizes evil,
associated with the God Amaetheon.
Cromlech: This is a large stone placed upon two upright stones
to make a able or altar. It was always placed in the center of the circle.
Cairns: These were either large stones or a pile of stones that were placed on high
ground, such as a hill, and used to worship their deity.
Viereckschanzen: These are roughly rectangular wall or ditch constructions that appear in the La
Te/ne period from middle France. Inside of these rectangular wall and ditch enclosures,
which also quite often had elaborate gate constructions, there often appear deep pits
which in some cases still contained wooden statues of "gods" and a number of
offerings. Equal pits, but without the surrounding wall and ditch constructions, have also
been found on the British isles. Sometimes also small houses appear inside these
Viereckschanzen, which in some cases appear to be the precedessors of later Gallo-Roman
temples.
Portal Tombs: Also called dolmens,
they consisted of three or more standing stones capped typically by a large monolith and
the dead would be buried under an earthen mound. Erosion over the millenia caused these
structures which were built between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago to appear like an altar or
table, hense the term dolmen.
Druid Sigil: The origin of this is unknown, however, it is commonly seen as a leaved wreeth
with two staves running through it.
Awen:
The three rays of light known as, The
Awen, form a symbol of the Devine name and concentre upon the stone of speech as do the
rays of the summer solstice and of the spring and autumn equinoxes upon the altar stone at
Stonehenge. The Awen symbolizes the source of Light in the cosmos and in man whence come
the Druidic virtues of courage, brotherhood, and selfless service.
Torc: This was often a ceremonial neck piece worn by the Druids and often worn by
Celtic hierarchy. The actual significance of this is unknown.
Triskell:The triskell is considered British origin, finding its way from Scotland,
Wales and Cornwall over to Brittany. The 3 arms are said to represent Earth, Wind, and
Fire. It is often said that the triskel represents the three druidic virtues or the three
stages of life to the Celts
We believe that when we die, we travel to that land beyond the veil
of Maya, where weary souls repose within the realms of the Horned One and the Great
Mother, to grow young again and to be reborn upon the earth. This is that fair land of nod
called GWLAD YR HAV or the Summerland. It is the land to which the Wiccae go when they
leave this life on earth. This is the abode of the Gods and Goddesses.of the Welsh
Tradition.
