Some people say that even if Blodeuedd isn’t called a goddess in the Fourth Branch, she's one now because she’s revered as one today. I struggle to believe that humans create gods, but I have no wish to take Blodeuedd away from those who do.

Unlikely on an English early medieval church, more likely if an owl, to be a regional form of Blodeuedd.

Blodeuedd is a creature of raw sex who has no choice about her marriage.

She makes what little bid for freedom she can by transferring her body to another lover ✍️Dr Shân Morgain

From flowers of Oak, Broom, and Meadowsweet, Blodeuedd ("Flowers") was created to be the wife of Lleu Llaw Gyffes who was forbidden to marry a human woman. She was later turned into an owl (renamed Blodeuwedd - "Flower Face") for betraying him. Art by Dan Goodfellow. /1 #Welsh #Mabinogi #FolkyFriday

photo of the artwork on display at museum (large unframed canvas in portrait orientation) portrait of a white barn owl flying away from an empty bed with white sheets and flowers strewn about, against black background gallery sign: “Mary Curran Death of the Flower Woman, 2019 Acrylic on canvas Courtesy of the Artist In Celtic folklore, Blodeuedd (also spelled Blodeuwedd) is often cast as a symbol of betrayal and infidelity. She was created from flowers by magicians to be the wife of Lleu Llaw Gyffes. Longing for freedom, she fell in love with Gronw Pebr, and together they plotted to kill her husband. In this work, Curran offers a sympathetic view. Blodeuedd did not ask to be conjured from blossoms as a wife, nor to be neglected by an indifferent husband. With few choices, she sought love elsewhere. Upon this discovery, Blodeuedd was not killed, but cursed to live forever as an owl, a creature of solitude and night.” exhibition sign: “Mixed Mythologies On view October 10, 2025 through January 4, 2026 Mary Curran has been creating and teaching art for over forty years. Her work draws on a deep reverence for the natural world and explores how humans make sense of their surroundings. By blending observation with imagination, she examines the ways myth and memory shape our understanding of life. Curran's Mixed Mythology series explores cultural stories about animals from around the globe. These vivid paintings invite viewers into their narrative space. At their core, the works challenge us to consider the impossibility of myth while recognizing that such stories often arise from real events and natural phenomena. Curran extends these ideas into sgraffito-designed bowls, layering multiple narratives within a single form. By combining different meanings for the same animal, she reminds us that symbols are never fixed. They shift across time, culture, and personal experience. In the DeSoto Family Vault, Curran's Ghost Birds and Chiaroscuro Ground series expand her exploration of transience and memory, inviting reflection on life's fragility and the fleeting beauty of light. Through her work, Curran "invites viewers to see nature not just as it is, but as something imbued with consciousness, mystery, and otherworldly significance."

A cultural clash between the rights and powers of women and men underscores the whole of the Fourth Branch; for example, the struggle between Gwydion and Arianrhod that lead to the creation of Blodeuedd is believed to be echos of a cultural shift from matriliny to patriliny. /6

Russell Williams works in sequences that move between mortal and divine, human and animal, those who act and those acted upon, voicing not only Rhiannon, Branwen, and Blodeuedd, but also the stag, the dog, the starling, the mare, the gallows, and the mouse.

Thank you so much 🙏 Like all the women in that medieval masterpiece of misogyny, the Mabinogi, Blodeuedd gets a really raw deal so I couldn’t resist the opportunity provided by Andy Mellon’s brilliant artwork to celebrate her here 🦉

I should read more Welsh mythology.
A name meaning page for Blodeuwedd, a Welsh feminine name. Meaning & History Means "face of flowers" in Welsh. According to the Fourth Branch of the Mabinogi, she was created out of flowers by Gwydion to be the wife of his nephew Lleu Llaw Gyffes. Originally she was named Blodeuedd meaning simply "flowers". She was eventually transformed into an owl by Gwydion after she and her lover Gronw attempted to murder Lleu, at which point he renamed her Blodeuwedd.

photo of the circular ceramic plate on display monochrome black & white design “The Innocent Become Doves” (with owl) gallery sign: “Mary Curran The Innocent Become Doves, 2016 Earthenware with carved graffito surface Courtesy of the Artist The title of this piece refers to Polish folklore where it is said that women who die married become owls, and unmarried women who die become doves. In Chinese tradition, owls embody intense yang energy and are associated with thunder and lightning. The central owl in this work also recalls the Welsh myth of Blodeuedd, a woman created from flowers who was cursed to become an owl (see Death of the Flower Woman). The olive branches encircling the bowl evoke the dove in the biblical story of Noah, who returned to the ark carrying an olive branch, signaling renewal. The branches also allude to the Greek goddess Athena, whose sacred animal was the owl and who struck the ground to produce the first olive tree, the enduring symbol of Athens.”
