Thought provoking!

Packed with information, the first section discusses the literary evidence of the archetypical Mother Goddess across the Celtic cultures.

Part two provides the reader with the resources to develop a working relationship with their understanding of this Goddess.  Suggestions are given for how to work with Her around the wheel of the year, followed by unravelling our relationship with our personal mother line.   Next is the connections we can foster to enhance our interaction with Modron’s association to water, in all its forms.  This leads into how working with this Goddess can enable us to become more ecologically aware, the chapter perfectly titled Guarding the Land.

Also included is an example of how to undertake a self-dedication if the reader feels drawn to work more specifically with Modron.

Having two pages of references facilitates further reading and discovery.

Pagan Portals – Modron by Kelle BanDea

In the flow of healing waters and the urgent cry of the Earth, we hear the voice of the Celtic mother goddess Modron, also known as Matrona. A goddess of fertility, abundance and healing, but also of grief and loss and ancestral wisdom, she is still present, although hidden, in today’s world. We find her myths in the tales of the Mabinogi, the Welsh Triads and modern tales of Avalon, and her image and veneration in the ancient religions of Celtic Gaul, where she first emerged as a river goddess. We can trace echoes of her in ancient Indo-European texts and possibly even further back to the agricultural myths of the Neolithic. She is even present in the stars.

Modron – Meeting the Celtic Mother Goddess takes a deep dive into this often overlooked goddess who has inspired our modern myths, combining solid academic research with suggestions for personal practice and ritual, from a modern day dedicant and scholar of Goddess veneration. Modron is emerging from the depths. Will you answer her Call?
