Through ancient rivers, the arteries of Mother Earth, coursing water flows into ocean depths and deeper still into secret unknown places, hidden reservoirs from which the wellsprings of Earth emerge. The Water Mothers dwell in deepest Annwn, at the Tabor Segais, source of the five rivers of Eire. They speak in the soft-soothing current of forest streams, their words expressing the boundless wisdom of the deepest seas: “Water is adaptable, as you must be. It fills the form of the vessel into which it flows, but it is not a passive element. Rivers carve canyons through solid rock, and a single ocean wave destroyed great Atlantis. You must be water, able to adapt and change as need demands, but always mindful of your innate power to alter the landscape of reality. You have the power to facilitate life, to change its course, or to destroy it. Seek the knowledge and wisdom of the Mother Goddess and set your course in her currents, ebb and flow with her tides.”
