Mythology Summary

Blodeuwedd is made from flowers by two magicians to be a wife for Lleu, and she falls in love with another man, conspires to kill her husband, and is turned into an owl for it. She is the created thing that becomes a person and is punished for the becoming.

Modern Practice

Blodeuwedd is called on by those who were made for someone else's purpose, and in work with owls and the moonlit wood. Her practice is naming what you were made for and choosing otherwise.
