And I will definitely look up Uffington White Horse. <br /><br />The more I tried to speak to Epona the last two nights the harder it was, but speaking to Rhiannon under the full moon was so easy. Almost natural. I am being to think that it is indeed Rhiannon.Morgaine Pendragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121338493723791466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937616452997749214.post-10605474577651282662010-08-25T16:30:31.552-04:002010-08-25T16:30:31.552-04:00The image of the Uffington Horse in Wiltshire, Eng...The image of the Uffington Horse in Wiltshire, England has connections with both Rhiannon and Epona and from my own reading I think the two Goddesses are closely enough linking that there is some question as to whether they are the same Goddess to different peoples? I also think I remember that Epona has some links to Rigantona (I haven't looked it up to be sure, nor have i checked my spelling lol!)<br />Maybe some mediations on the Uffington White horse would help (you can google for images if you're not sure what i mean).<br />Rhiannon is definitely a Goddess of the otherworld, but also of the GATE to the otherworld. Her blackbirds are supposed to sing you across to the otherworld. I don't know if you can get blackbird call recordings but maybe this would help your meditations. Or if you're like me you have blackbird song the minute you walk out the front door and could do your meditation outside with the blackbirds?<br />The fountains make sense in terms of these being Rhiannons horses too as Rhiannon is sometimes pictured riding out of the waves (fountain/waves/water) as a Goddess of the sea. Rhiannon is particularly assosiated with white mares. She is also a Goddess of sexual love :) She is pursued on her white mare and eventually marrieds Pwyll. Maybe he is the prince of your dream? Maybe Epona isn't speaking to you because the white horses aren't representations of Rhiannon and Epona, but messengers of only Rhiannon. If you are drawn to Avalon myths I suspect it is Rhiannon calling to you rather than Epona.<br /><br />Hope some of this is helpful to you.<br />Nellie xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937616452997749214.post-11189444264398180682010-08-24T19:57:19.350-04:002010-08-24T19:57:19.350-04:00Kathy is right.

While undergoing my Druid studies, I was also with the Sisters of Avalon...and have been a long-standing member of the Sisterhood of Isis. You can definitely do both. They actually coincide with each other.<br />Marymxtodis123https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583200601379394225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937616452997749214.post-33385789928622102602010-08-24T19:09:06.513-04:002010-08-24T19:09:06.513-04:00I've also read that Rhiannon is the guardian t...I've also read that Rhiannon is the guardian to the otherworld and/or reincarnation as well and with Samhain coming up, who knows? I have found that over analyzing anything really messes things up for me but if I just keep a notebook handy and jot down any impressions that come to mind in relation to that dream, it makes more sense to me.<br /><br /><br />Plus there is no real conflict with following the path of the Goddess and the Druidic path. You can do both. And if it seems like you're drawn to both, maybe that IS the path for you.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277981757643955577noreply@blogger.com
