Rhiannon Reflections – A Guest Post from Mary Lunnen
This guest post by Mary Lunnen is part of a series celebrating the My Word Goddess Readings by honouring the gifts of the goddesses that stepped forward in 2014….
2014 was the first time I had received a ‘goddess for the year’ from Amy Palko. Rhiannon is the Welsh horse goddess. Looking back now and reflecting, I feel that, a year ago, I had intentions of becoming clear, moving forward with ease towards my desires. I am not sure if I ever did get really clear about “What it is that you desire.”
What I have done is being able to sit with what was, what is, with ease. To accept and still move on; to just be and be comfortable with that. In a world that seems sometimes to rush wildly towards the next thing, maybe I at last found – for a while at least – a way of stopping. Stopping and asking, as the prince does in the story. For the moment the simple answer has been enough. What I desire – for the last year, and maybe the next too – is more rest, more simplicity, time to think. The ability not to then search for something more ‘worthy’ as a desire; something bigger, grander.
This year has been about being able to stop, and then to take small steps. Sometimes those small steps have been a dead-end, and because I haven’t rushed in that has been fine. An interesting diversion before returning to…. to what? I still don’t know, and maybe I never will in truth.
As I write this I can see how much Rhiannon has been present supporting me, even when I did not consciously think about the goddess and her story. My self-confidence in my own work has risen: “This isn’t about running full steam ahead after your dream – this is about inviting your dream into your waking reality. She’s also going to be supporting you as you build your self-confidence so that you truly believe that you deserve that which you desire.”
Now, looking forward to 2015, with another goddess by my side, I feel the gentle guidance of Rhiannon will stay with me. Thank you Amy.

Thank you for accepting my piece Amy. Reading my own words is interesting as it feels as if they were written by someone else…. interesting!
