Rhiannon is a prominent figure in Welsh mythology, and she appears in the Mabinogi, a collection of medieval Welsh tales. Her story is rich with themes of love, loss, sovereignty, and transformation.

Symbolism and Indications
  1. Horses: Rhiannon first appears on a mysterious, otherworldly horse that no one can catch unless she allows them. The horse represents her power, grace, and her otherworldly nature.
  2. Motherhood: Rhiannon experiences both the joy and sorrow of motherhood. She is falsely accused of harming her son, only to be reunited with him years later.
  3. Sovereignty: As a powerful figure associated with rulership, Rhiannon represents the sovereignty of the land.
  4. Patience and Endurance: Wrongly accused of a crime, Rhiannon accepts a penance where she offers to carry visitors to the court on her back, like a horse. This act displays her humility, endurance, and commitment to restoring her honor.
  5. Magic and Transformation: Throughout her tales, Rhiannon displays magical abilities and represents transformative power.

Divine Goddess Rhiannon as an Archetype
Rhiannon embodies the archetype of the Sovereign Queen—gracious, regal, and connected to the land. She also represents the Martyred Mother, facing false accusations and enduring suffering for her child. Lastly, her connection to the otherworld and her transformative journey align her with the Mystic or Enchantress archetype, where she bridges the earthly realm with the supernatural.

In the broader context, Rhiannon's story can be seen as a reflection of the challenges and trials faced by women in positions of power, as well as the depths of maternal love and the strength required to overcome false judgments.
