Seren

“THE GODDESS is alive in the world, visible for all to see in the shapes of the sacred constellations of the sky. She is as bright as the northern star and Her body as sweet as star anise that grows in orchards of the sky. Here Her love enfolds us every day and Her voice is always near, carried on the wind, whispering through the mists of the Milky Way. Her Mysteries are as vast as the starry skies, taking us down into Her depths and lifting us up to Her heights. She is our Source, our Inspiration and our Love.”

In Welsh mythology, Seren is the goddess of the brightest star. She is said to grant wishes to any who wish upon a shooting star. She drives her star chariot across the heavens. Most of what is publicly known about this Goddess comes from the work of Dr Todd Kelly who published a book about her after finding a number of strange references in an archive at The National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth.

Dr Kelly found many references to the Goddess during doing research for his dissertation at The University of Cumberlands. Dr Todd Kelly makes reference in the book "The Goddess Seren" (now out of print) that her cult survives to this day and was locally known as "The Tribe of Seren" but despite trying to make contact with members of this group Dr Kelly was unable to track them down.

He did however find a number of sacred sites used by the cult and most of the older pictures we have today are taken by Dr Kelly as part of his original research project. Some objects found at sacred sites relating to the Goddess include; wish knots usually made from purple, black and more recently silver cord; clay figures of the goddess, wish petitions and offerings of star anise, star flower, purple candles, amethyst and lapis lazuli also moonstone has recently been left to be charged via starlight.
