Feast of Rhiannon 4th March

Feast of Rhiannon 4th March

It is a popular custom Wiccans and Druids of Wales and Ireland to honour the Goddess Rhiannon today. Known as " Rigantona "meaning Great Queen, Rhiannon has been Identified with the Gaulish mare Goddess Epopna.

Rhiannons divine is Indicated by her first encounter with Pwyll, the king of Dyfed. Riding slowly past him on a large white horse,he was entranced and persued her. But even with the swiftest of mounts he could not overtake her. Finally in desperation,he called out to her.

Rhiannon stopped to converse with him, admitting she was seeking him out. Pwyll won Rhiannons love and when she arrived at his court to be married,she brought precious gifts for all the nobles. Hence her Image of a generous,bountiful queen Goddess.
