SOPDET is the Egyptian Goddess of Sirius, the Dog Star. She was also a Goddess of fertility, because the appearance of Sirius in the sky at dawn marked the beginning of the annual Nile floods, and therefore the beginning of the agricultural year. Sopdet was said to be the wife of Sahu, God of the constellation we know as Orion, and mother of Sopdu, God of the planet Venus. As the Orion constellation and its God became associated with the God Osiris, Sopdet, as his wife, became associated with Osiris's wife, Isis. She is usually depicted as a woman wearing a tall crown with upswept horns at the sides and a five-pointed star on top. In later years, especially after her identification with Isis, she was often shown riding on a large dog. Sopdet's name, which means "she who is skilled," is also seen as SEPDET and SOTHIS (the Greek version of her name), and the epithets BRINGER OF THE NEW YEAR and BRINGER OF THE NILE FLOOD were associated with her.

THE MATRES are Celtic Goddesses of motherhood and fertility. They are usually depicted in groups of three, since the number three is a particularly favorable magical number. They are shown with one breast bare--as mothers to their followers, it was their duty to feed their worshippers. Often, they hold other symbols of nourishment, such as fruit, a cornucopia, or a loaf of bread. In some depictions, they hold babies, and were associated with fertility rites.

"CERRIDWEN" IS THE ONE OF THE OLD CELTIC GODDESSES WHO HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE "'OLD WITCH'" STEREOTYPE. SHE COMES AT "SAMHAIN" WHEN THE VEIL IS THIN. SHE IS THE GODDESS OF TRANSFORMATION, DEATH, MAGIC, REGENERATION, THE WELSH GODDESS OF THE SACRED CAULDRON OF INSPIRATION, "AWEN", A POWERFUL SYMBOL OF TRANSFORMING MAGIC FOR IT IS SAID TO CONTAIN ALL OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORLD. SHE IS THE GUARDIAN OF SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION. SHE IS ALSO NAMED "WHITE LADY OF INSPIRATION AND DEATH", A SHAPESHIFTER WHO CAN TAKE ON ANIMAL FORMS AS QUICK AS A BLINK, AND SHE CAN BE RUTHLESS. "CERRIDWEN" IS THE INSPIRATION FOR THE "SAMHAIN" OR "HALLOWEEN" WITCH STIRRING A CAULDRON COMES FROM, AND ALTHOUGH SHE CAN BE VERY FRIGHTENING, HER CAULDRON IS A SOURCE OF WISDOM, INSPIRATION, AND CREATIVITY.
"CERRIDWEN" LIVED ON AN ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF LAKE TEGID WHERE SHE GAVE BIRTH TO TWO CHILDREN...A BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER AND A VERY UGLY SON. SHE BREWED A MAGICAL SPELL IN HER CAULDRON TO MAKE HER SON VERY SMART; THE BREW WAS KNOWN AS "GREAL" AND IT SITS FOR A YEAR AND A DAY, AND WHEN SHE HAD TO GO OUT, SHE LEFT IT IN THE CARE OF A YOUNG MORTAL CALLED "GWION."..LEAVING HIM STRICT INSTRUCTIONS NOT TO TOUCH ITS CONTENTS. BUT, BOYS WILL BE BOYS, AND HE ENDS UP INGESTING THREE DROPS OF THE POTION, THUS TAKING ITS MAGIC INTO HIMSELF. IMMEDIATELY HE WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING AROUND HIM...THE PAST, THE FUTURE AND THE DANGERS THAT WERE ABOUT TO BEFALL HIM WHEN "CERRIDWEN" RETURNS.
HE IMMEDIATELY FLEES. "CERRIDWEN," FLYING INTO A RAGE, CHASES AFTER HIM, AND HE QUICKLY USES HIS NEW POWERS TO CHANGE HIMSELF INTO A HARE.. "CERRIDWEN" TOOK THE FORM OF A GREYHOUND AND FOLLOWED IN SWIFT PURSUIT. BUT JUST AS SHE WAS ABOUT TO CATCH HIM, HE CHANGED INTO A FISH AND SLIPPED INTO A RIVER. "CERRIDWEN" QUICKLY BECAME AN OTTER AND CONTINUED AFTER "GWION". ABOUT TO BE CAUGHT AGAIN, HE ONCE MORE CHANGED HIS FORM, THIS TIME INTO A BIRD AND FLEW OFF INTO THE SKY, ONLY DISCOVERING THE "CERRIDWEN" WAS CLOSE BEHIND, HAVING TAKEN THE SHAPE OF A HAWK. FEARING FOR HIS LIFE, "GWION" NOTICED A PILE OF WHEAT ON THE LAND BELOW AND CHANGING HIMSELF INTO THE TINIEST OF GRAINS, DROPPED INTO THE PILE. "CERRIDWEN'S" SHARP EYES SAW WHAT HE HAD DONE AND TAKING THE FORM OF A BLACK CRESTED HEN, SHE PECKED AT THE GRAIN UNTIL SHE FOUND AND ATE THE SEED THAT HAD BEEN "GWION."
BUT THE TINY SEED TOOK ROOT WITHIN HER WOMB AND BEGAN TO GROW. FOR NINE MONTHS, "CERRIDWEN "PROCLAIMED THAT ON THE DAY THAT "GWION" WOULD BE REBORN SHE WOULD DESTROY HIM, BUT WHEN THAT DAY ARRIVED SHE RELENTED. SHE PLACED HIM IN A LEATHER SACK AND THREW HIM INTO THE RAGING WATERS OF THE RIVER, THIS JUST TWO DAYS BEFORE THE FIRST OF MAY.THE CHILD, OF COURSE, BECOMES KNOWN AS "TALIESAN," THE GREATEST BARD IN CELTIC MYTH.
