Pagan Portals: Rhiannon Divine Queen of the

Celtic Britons
Sophisticated and elegant, steeped in scholarship and passionately
written, Telyndru’s offering to Rhiannon will take you on a journey
deep into the heart of mystery, sovereignty and connection. Within
these pages you will discover the tools necessary to develop a
lasting and meaningful relationship with Rhiannon. To connect to
the Divine Queen we must ask her to stop and notice us, Telyndru
offers you a guiding hand to understand this process and move into
relationship with the Goddess. What you hold in your hands is
priceless, for this is a gift of inspiration.
Kristoffer Hughes, author of From the Cauldron Born: Exploring the
Magic of Welsh Legend and Lore and Head of the Anglesey Druid Order

Rhiannon: Divine Queen of the Celtic Britons is the perfect

introduction to a Welsh Goddess who can be elusive and ephemeral
as well as profound and present. In this slim introduction Jhenah
Telyndru has combined solid academic information, myth, spiritual
devotion and practical suggestions that anyone could incorporate
into their own lives. The end result is a book that invites the reader
to delve deep into the history of Welsh mythology and create a
profound connection to this powerful Goddess. A must read for
anyone interested in either Rhiannon or Welsh deities more
generally.
Morgan Daimler, best-selling author of The Morrigan and Fairies: A
Guide to the Celtic Fair Folk

Jhenah Telyndru’s Rhiannon: Divine Queen of the Celtic Britons is a

real treasure-trove of lore and wisdom regarding this beloved Welsh
goddess. The first half of this book gives us a brilliant scholarly
introduction to Her, while the second half offers insights into
developing an immediate and first-hand relationship with this
Sovereign deity. By combining the academic with the experiential
this work really stands out in today’s modern goddess literature.
Another superb offering by Jhenah Telyndru.
Joanna van der Hoeven, best-selling author of The Awen Alone:
Walking the Path of the Solitary Druid and The Crane Bag: A Druid’s
Guide to Ritual Tools and Practices, Druid Priestess and Director of
Druid College UK

As both literary character and goddess, Rhiannon is hard to get to

know. But Jhenah Telyndru’s book brings her to life. Here you find
the historical and literary sources studied with logical clarity and
precision, as well as a gentle and loving present-day devotional
interpretation. This book is not only an informative text: it is also a
work of art.
Brendan Myers, Ph.D., author of Reclaiming Civilization: A Case for
Optimism for the Future of Humanity and The Earth, The Gods and The
Soul - A History of Pagan Philosophy

With a clear voice for storytelling and a deft hand at complex and
multidisciplinary research, Jhenah Telyndru’s love and devotion to
her goddess shines through with every page. This book is
satisfyingly academic while being deeply moving and practical for
anyone looking to build or deepen into a relationship with this
goddess. I highly recommend this book for new seekers and
experienced practitioners alike.
River Devora, priest and founder of the Strong Roots and Wide
Branches Polytheist Learning Community

A new entry in Moon Books’ excellent Pagan Portals series, Jhenah

Telyndru’s Rhiannon: Divine Queen of the Celtic Britons presents us
with an introduction to this enigmatic Goddess that is both lyrical
and academic. Ms. Telyndru is well equipped to take on this
challenge. The founder and leader of the Sisterhood of Avalon, with
a Master’s in Celtic Studies from the University of Wales Trinity
Saint David, she is steeped in medieval Celtic literature, ancient
archaeology, and Welsh culture – all of which enable her to read
early sources with special clarity, and then relate those sources to
the modern spiritual and cultural concerns of her readers. At once
practical and poetic, mystical and scholarly, Jhenah Telyndru’s
Rhiannon: Divine Queen of the Celtic Britons teaches us much about a
popular yet ill-understood deity, who we think we know, but don’t
really. In consequence, I recommend it highly.
Segomâros Widugeni, formerly Aedh Rua, author of Celtic Flame

So much more than brilliant, precise scholarship, Rhiannon: Divine

Queen of the Celtic Britons is an exquisite melding of history,
mythology and lore. Jhenah Telyndru entices a depth of historical
insight out of rich range of resources to place it at your doorstep in
an engaging, evocative manner and she takes dynamic relationship
with Rhiannon out of ritual confines to place it actively in the
nuances of everyday life. This important work is a linguistic
archeological treasure; an invitation to hone awareness of how we
know what we know; and an inspired guide for spiritual practice.
Jhenah follows the trail of historical breadcrumbs to give us a feast,
complete with ancient tales, poetry and song. Every morsel is a
delight to savour.
Tiffany Lazic, author of The Great Work: Self-Knowledge and Healing
Through the Wheel of the Year

Rhiannon: Divine Queen of the Celtic Britons is an excellent

introduction to Rhiannon and Her world. Jhenah’s warm, engaging
style illuminates a mysterious Lady like a medieval manuscript,
weaving history and mythology together like the worlds Rhiannon
traverses: effortlessly and with grace. A well-researched and
powerful aid to those who seek to know Her, at any level of
engagement.

 Acknowledgements

Nothing is created in a vacuum, and to enumerate everything and

everyone that made up the matrix of support that assisted in the
birth of this book will be impossible, so I will do my best to hit the
highlights.
First and foremost, I would like to thank Trevor Greenfield for the
trust he placed in me when he approached me to write this volume
for Moon Books. His patience, guidance, and support, as well as
those of the whole Moon Books team, are deeply appreciated.
I am incredibly grateful for the Gaulish expertise and open
sharing of River Devora, whose devotion to the Matronae is
inspirational. My gratitude for the generosity of Morgan Daimler
similarly knows no bounds; her ability (and cheerful willingness) to
point me towards the correct Irish resources, including those she
herself has translated, has been of enormous assistance.
There are so many reasons for me to feel deeply blessed and
appreciative for the presence in my life of my dear Sister and friend
Lori Feldmann; in this case, I am grateful for her editing magic and
for all of her support and feedback.
I am so very thankful for the Sisterhood of Avalon, for all of my
beautiful Sisters, and to all who have shared sacred space with me—
especially those times, under the Full Moon, when we call to the
Divine Queen…
I am grateful to my family, both of blood and of choice. Thank
you for your support, for your understanding, and for always gifting
me with a soft place to land. Thank you especially to my children
for being so understanding of my sometimes-crazy process. I love
you both so!
And finally, I want to thank my beloved James for always
believing in me… for holding up a mirror of truth, and showing me
