Rhiannon and believing in yourself

Most people think of Stevie Nicks when they hear the name "Rhiannon", and it's as good an introduction to Her as any.

Rhiannon is a Welsh goddess whose name is a derivation of Rigantona, which means "queen". And She is royalty, but She does things Her own way. She fell in love with a mortal and was willing to do whatever She could to make that union work.

Rhiannon is also associated with Epona, since They both are affiliated with horses.

When you think on Rhiannon, remember that Welsh women, both divine and mundane, are independent and fierce. Rhiannon will fight for those She loves, and She is not above using trickery to get Her way. She may seem capricious, but She is playful and joyous, loyal and true. She is generous and bountiful, but remember that She expects you to work as hard as She does on your behalf. No undeserved gifts from Her!

The faeries remind us that everything is within our grasp. All we really have to do is believe, truly believe, and the universe will give us what we need. The catch, of course, is true belief, but once you've achieved that, the faeries will help you choose wisely, because you'll have the universe at your beck and call.
