Rhiannon, Great-Queen.

HRE*N0N

Alternate meanings: Divine-Queen.

[to Whom the twenty-second day of May, day 142, is dedicated]

Geography/Culture: Celtic: Welsh.

Description: Goddess of the year; Mistress of the Underworld; Beautiful Queen of the night and its dreams (both pleasant and unpleasant); Muse of inspiration; Source of truth; She Who is adored by all true poets.

To Whom Sacred: white horse; three birds (whose songs awakens the dead and sends the living into blissful sleep); lunar crescent (of either silver or gold).

Titles/Variants, etc:

Some suggest that Rhiannon and Epona, are equivalent.

In some ways Rhiannon seems equivalent to German Mora, below.

The original form of Her name is Rigantona, Divine-Queen, (of which Rhiannon is said to be a corruption). See the word element -ona.

She evolved into the Medieval enchantress: Vivien, below.

Mora, Nightmare.

MOr1

Geography/Culture: German.

Linguistic Note: though my source gives the meaning as `nightmare', I find nothing under mora in LGED. Under `nightmare' I find alptraum; alp plus traum `dream'. Under alp itself, nothing; but further on alpdruck, alpdrücken, `nightmare', (with druck, and drücken, `press, squeeze'), as well as alptraum, `nightmare'.

Titles/Variants, etc:

See also Alphito linguistic notes.

In some ways equivalent to Welsh Rhiannon.

Source: prob. Graves; LGED.

Vivien, Liveliness.
