Blodeuwedd is a character from the British (Welsh) mythology called The Mabinogion. Lleu needed a wife and Blodeuwedd was created for him out of flowers by a wizard called Gwydion. According to the myth the flowers were yellow broom meadowsweet and oak blossom. After a period of contentment Blodeuwedd fell in love with another man. They plotted to kill Lleu. Gwydion punished her by turning her into an owl condemned to the night without human company or the company of birds.

She is a Goddess of emotions representing the matrix that reforms transpersonal and universal energies into well-defined life force. She represents temporary beauty and the bright blooming that must come full circle through death: She is the promise of autumn visible in spring.

Though Blodeuwedd was created by men to fulfill their own need to assure Llew’s right to rule the land she ultimately awakened to herself to her own desire to her own fate. Storytellers have judged her harshly calling her the epitome of feminine passivity the ultimate betrayer, the fickle and faithless wife. Let her actions and her story be a lesson to all who seek to manipulate women to control their fate to limit their choices. Her story is one of reclaiming her own power of determining her own fate. Blodeuwedd helps us leave behind the innocence and passivity of our youth. She blazes the path through pain and suffering to connection with the powerful Divine Feminine which always holds life in one hand and death in the other.
