killed her with holy water that melted her, but from which she will arise from

much like Dana. She led a journey of
Partholans to the "western edge of the world" forty days before the
great flood. Among her were her husband
and one hundred and fifty mothers of the world. This legend shows how Pagans saw the Mother
Goddess as a source of regeneration and life renewel. Cessair's "I was here first" image
was so strong among Irish Pagans that when the Christians could not eliminate
her, they made her the granddaughter of their flood savior, Noah. Because the native myths say Ireland was
spared by the ravages of the great flood, Cessair perhaps was once seen as a

mayfly, containing the "soul" of Lugh, fell into her wine glass. When she drank it she became impregnated with
Cuchulain. However, she birthed
Cuchulain by throwing him up and therefore always remaind a "maiden." Described as a woman of "large
proportions," a detail which reveals she had attributes of a mother,
fertility and abundance Goddess. She
could shape-shift herself and her followers into birds for swift travel and,
predictably, they could fly to the Otherworld and back in this form. However, wherever they stopped to feed they

The Lady Of the
Lake
Location: Wales, Britain
Description: To some she is a faery woman, to others she
is a potent deity of life, death and regeneration. She was the possessor of the sword Excalibur
(called Caliburn in Brittany), the magickal blade given to King Arthur. A Sovereign Goddess, it is this act of taking
the offered sword which grants Arthur the right to rule, and it is she who
claims the blade again, when his role as sacrificial king must be
fulfilled. The Bretons claim she was a
Breton addition to the Arthurian legends and that she never appeared in the
original Welsh versions of the myths.
Contradictory to the "sword in the churchyard stone" stories,
the Breton version tells us that Merlin and Arthur rowed out to the center of
the Dosmary Lake in Cornwall and that it was there that Excalibur was presented
to him, the sword embedded in a floating stone.
When he pulled it out, it was an act of reversal of the Great Rite,
separating the female and male concepts of creation which were not to be united
again until Arthur's death. The Lady of
the Lake is also said to have been the foster mother of Sir Lancelot, one of
Arthurs knights, also a Breton addition to the tale. She is pictured as sitting on a throne of
reeds in the center of the lake's depths.
Among her MANY magickal credits is that of a healer. She is associated with the crane, water
lilies and marble.
