A striking must-have piece rich with celtic symbols and a thoughtful gift for anyone into nature religions. The Morrigan or Mórrígan, also known as Morrígu, is a figure from Celtic Mythology. The name is Mór-Ríoghain in Modern Irish, and it has been translated as “Great Queen” or “Phantom Queen“. The Morrígan is mainly associated with war and fate, especially with foretelling doom, death, or victory in battle. In this role she often appears as a crow, the Badb. She incites warriors to battle and can help bring about victory over their enemies.

The Morrigan encourages warriors to do brave deeds, strikes fear into their enemies, and is portrayed washing the bloodstained clothes of those fated to die. She is most frequently seen as a goddess of battle and war and has also been seen as a manifestation of the earth and sovereignty-goddess, chiefly representing the goddess’s role as guardian of the territory and its people. The Morrigan is often described as a trio of individuals, all sisters, called “The 3 Morrigna“. Membership of the triad varies, sometimes it is given as Badb, Macha, and Nemain while elsewhere it is given as Badb, Macha, and Anand (the latter is given as another name for the Morrigan). It is believed that these were all names for the same goddess. The 3 Morrigna are also named as sisters of the 3 land goddesses Ériu, Banba, and Fódla. The Morrigan is described as the envious wife of The Dagda and a shape-shifting goddess, while Badb and Nemain are said to be the wives of Neit.

She is associated with the banshee of later folklore. In the sources, the name of the Morrigan is always preceded by the definite article (an Mórrígan or an Mórrígu). As for its etymology, it goes back to an older Irish name, Mór Ríoghain, which literally translates as “great queen” (from mór, “great“, and rígan, “queen“). This meaning is the same as the name of the Ancient Indo-European Goddess Rigantona, to whom the name of the Morrigan is sometimes referred to. Alternatively, the first element of Mór Ríoghain can also be identified with the Germanic mahr (“nightmare“, the same root as nightmare), meaning “Queen of Ghosts“. Traditionally, her name was also linked to the Celtic word mor “Sea“, a connection generally rejected by modern linguists, the name of the Fairy Morgana probably goes back to this element, which is sometimes linked to the same Morrigan.

Frigga is the goddess of marriage and motherhood. In Norse mythology, Frigg appears primarily as a wife and mother and she is said to have the power of clairvoyance, and she can see things that escape even her husband Odin, while never revealing them. She shares Hliðskjálf‘s seat with Odin, and she can, from there, see the whole Universe. She has a beautiful home in Fensalir, one of the regions of Ásgarðr.

Furthermore, Frigg is a word related to Sanskrit, in which the definition priyatil appears, which means “wife“.

Celtic Wooden Triquetra Statue, Celtic & Symbolic Statues, “Celtic Triquetra the Symbol of Rebirth” Statue

Celtic Wooden Triquetra “Symbol of Rebirth” Statue

The ancient celtic symbol of the triquetra, also known as the trinity knot, is associated with the triple goddess and garners the protection of the mother, maiden, and crone. Harnessing the power of 3, this spiritual Celtic Wooden Triquetra Statue makes the perfect decor for all your Celtic gatherings and religious rites. The Triquetra, (also synonymous with Triskelion, although the triskelion is a different symbol with a more specific meaning), is an ancient 3-pointed symbol, usually interconnected. In Celtic symbolism the Triquetra symbolized the feminine aspect of the Divine (because everything that generates life is mother and not father), depicted as a triple female divinity of girl, mother and old woman, while in northern Europe it appears in runic stones. This symbol consists of a single line that intertwines creating a triangular shape, which may or may not be enclosed in a circle. It is one of several Celtic symbols that represent the Triplicity of the Universe.

For the Celts, in fact, all important things could be represented according to the principle of triplicity: life, death, rebirth / past, present, future / earth, sky, sea / mind, body, soul. When represented with a circle, this indicates the unity in the spirit of the 3 elements represented. While in the Christian Age the Triquetra became a symbol of the Holy Trinity, in Celtic mythology it was associated with a female divinity, the Great Mother, identified in the moon and its 3 phases. This sign, and its various stylistic variants, is known as Triquetra, a term deriving from the prefix “tri“, derived from the Latin tres meaning “3 times“, and “quetrus“, meaning “made at an angle“. Also called the Trinitarian Node, this sign is perhaps one of the most important that represents the profound symbolic meaning associated with the number 3, the Ternary. Always considered a holy or divine number par excellence, this value still maintains the name of “perfect number” today. Triquetra, therefore, and its link with the holy number 3, it takes on different symbolic meanings depending on the context, Christian or Pagan, in which it is found.

It is clear, in fact, that in the context of Christian emblematics, the Triquetra is nothing other than the expression of the Divine Trinity, especially since it can be said to result from the union and intersection of three distinct “Vesica Piscis“: if a single stylized fish represents Jesus, then the union and interpenetration of 3 fish necessarily means the union of the 3 Divine Persons into One: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In the earlier pagan cults, in particular those linked to the Celts and Druidism (the Triquetra, in essence, is only the most elementary of Celtic knots), the symbol assumes a more “telluric” aspect, indicative of the 3 predominant natural forces: earth, air and water. On a more spiritual level, it indicates the 3 degrees of the evolution of existence: life, death and rebirth. Furthermore, since the 3 elements of the Triquetra are strictly interconnected, they must not be considered as separate elements but as 3 different aspects of a single entity, the “whole“. Note that the graphic form of the Triple Sacred Cinta, with 3 concentric squares interconnected by the median lines, expresses nothing but the same basic concept. “Celtic Triquetra the Symbol of Rebirth” Statue sizes: 11.8 inches / 30 cm x 11.8 inches / 30 cm x 1.2 inches / 3 cm.

Celtic Ceridwen Statue, Celtic & Gods Statues, Ceridwen Celtic Goddess of Knowledge and The Cauldron Statue

Ceridwen “Celtic Goddess of Knowledge” and The Cauldron Statue

Celtic Ceridwen Statue, crafted by master artisan using high quality designer resin and cold cast bronze method. Cold cast bronze is the casting method of mixing bronze material and resin together in order to create detailed statues with metallic surface. Ceridwen was an enchantress in Welsh medieval legend. Medieval Welsh poetry refers to her as possessing the Cauldron of Poetic Inspiration (Awen) and the Tale of Taliesin recounts her swallowing her servant Gwion Bachwho is then reborn through her as the poet Taliesin. Ceridwen is regarded by many modern Pagans as the Celtic Goddess of rebirth, transformation, and inspiration. This beautiful cast resin statue depicts Ceridwen stirring her cauldron of Awen. The statue has a metallic bronze finish, with hand painted accents to bring out the wonderful detail. She makes a great gift for anyone looking for a touch or inspiration.

Ceridwen or Cerridwen was an enchantress in Welsh medieval legend. She was the mother of a hideous son, Morfran, and a beautiful daughter, Creirwy. Her husband was Tegid Foel and they lived near Bala Lake (Llyn Tegid) in north Wales. The earliest documented spelling of the name Kerdwin is Cyrridven, which occurs in the Black Book of Carmarthen. Sir Ifor Williams translates this name as “crooked woman“, although the precise meaning of the stems cyrrid and cwrr (sometimes translated as “crooked” or “bent“) is uncertain. Ben/ven means “woman” or “female“. If wen is not a corruption of either of these, then it may derive from the adjective gwyn (fem. gwen), meaning “fair“, “beloved“, “blessed“, or “sacred“. Wen is sometimes suffixed to the names of female saints (e.g. Dwynwen).

In 19th century literature and etymology the name Ket, Ked and variants were assumed to relate to the Goddess Ceridwen. According to the late medieval Tale of Taliesin, included in some modern editions of the Mabinogion, Ceridwen’s son, Morfran (also called Afagddu), was hideously ugly, particularly compared with his beautiful sister Creirwy, so Ceridwen sought to make him wise in compensation. She made a potion in her magical cauldron to grant the gift of wisdom and poetic inspiration, also called Awen. The mixture had to be boiled for a year and a day. Ceridwen Celtic Goddess of Knowledge and The Cauldron Statue sizes: 6.5 inches / 16.5 cm x 6.5 inches / 16.5 cm x 6.25 inches / 16 cm.

Celtic Gryphon Statue, Celtic & Mythological Statues, Gryphon Protector of Treasures and Priceless Possessions Statue

Celtic Gryphon Protector of Treasures and Priceless Possessions Statue

A Celtic Gryphon Statue, known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions. Premium sculpted cold cast bronze, real bronze powder mixed with resin. Hand-painted with bronze finish to give a high-quality and antique look without sacrificing the details. Ideal for Gothic friends or relatives that love Mythological Celtic creatures. The Gryphon is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a Lion, the head and wings of an eagle, and sometimes an eagle’s talons as its front feet. Because the Lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts, and the Eagle the king of the birds, by the Middle Ages, the Gryphon was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. Since classical antiquity, gryphon were known for guarding treasures and priceless possessions. In Greek and Roman texts, Gryphon and Arimaspians were associated with gold deposits of Central Asia. Indeed, as Pliny the Elder wrote, “Gryphon were said to lay eggs in burrows on the ground and these nests contained gold nuggets“. In medieval heraldry, the gryphon became a Christian symbol of divine power and a guardian of the divine. The derivation of this word remains uncertain. It could be related to the Greek word (grypos), meaning “curved“, or “hooked“.

It could also have been an Anatolian loan word, compare Akkadian karūbu (winged creature), and the phonetically similar Cherub. A related Hebrew word is (kerúv). Most statuary representations of Gryphon depict them with bird-like talons, although in some older illustrations gryphons have a lion’s forelimbs, they generally have a lion’s hindquarters. Its eagle’s head is conventionally given prominent ears, these are sometimes described as the lion’s ears, but are often elongated (more like a horse’s), and are sometimes feathered. Infrequently, a gryphon is portrayed without wings, or a wingless eagle-headed lion is identified as a gryphon. In 15th century and later heraldry, such a beast may be called an alke or a keythong. When depicted on coats of arms, the gryphon is called the Opinicus, which may be derived from the Greek name Ophinicus, referring to the serpent astronomical constellation. In these depictions, it has the body of a lion with either two or four legs, the head of an eagle or dragon, the wings of an eagle, and a camel’s tail. Gryphon Protector of Treasures and Priceless Possessions Statue measures: 9.5 inches / 24 cm x 10.5 inches / 26.5 cm x 9 inches / 23 cm.
