Author Notes Author note: The girl's name Ceridwen comes from the Welsh - 'cerdd', meaning poetry or song, and 'wen' (a contraction of gwen), meaning white, fair or holy. Ceridwen, according to Welsh legends and folklore, was a white witch or goddess, and is considered to be the goddess of poetry, inspiration and of the cauldron of transfiguration. Some websites say she is the goddess of the moon, art, music, magic, and science. Many modern-day pagans still revere her. The moon's beauty will always appeal to the rest of us.
