1. Out of THAT WHICH HAS NO NAME issued SHE who is the Mother Of All Things. 2. The Greatest One, The Mother Of Us All, did take upon Herself two aspects: One which we call the Dark One, and that which we call the Bright One. 3. This was done so that there would be an ever-renewing of all things, and that all things might ever grow; learning from what passed before. 4. And the Dark One took upon Herself three Aspects, and likewise, did She Who Is Bright. 5. This was done so that in all things, whether Bright or Dark, that there would be a beginning, middle, and end; youth, middle age, and old; negative, neutral, and positive; birth, life, and death. For all things are governed by the Great Goddess in this manner. For even the seasons pass in this manner; dormant, the greening, and harvest. 6. The Greatest One caused us to long for She Who Is Bright more than She Who Is Dark, for if it were not so, there would be no life. They who seek She Who Is Dark live not long, for it is Her nature to give them Death. 7. Now these are the names of the Greatest One and Her Aspects: Kerridwen is the name of She Who Is All Things; next are the two Aspects called Kerridwen The Dark, and Kerridwen The Bright. Of the three Aspects of Kerridwen The Dark are these names: Cliodna, Morgana, and Gabba; and those of the Bright are: Nimue, Viviana, and Anu. Their physical features are that of daughter, mother, and grandmother; and also daughter, mother, and hag. Before the coming of the sky- gods, She was Sun and Moon, but now they say She is only the Moon. But to us, She is still All Things. |
