| In
the land of the tribes of the Earth Mother
once existed a ring of stones called the Teeth
of the Moon Sow. Many tales were told of it
as a place of power and potency, but in the
time before Sláine, none knew of its
real magic.
Long ago, the circle was dedicated to the
Goddess in her aspect as the white moon Ceridwen,
whose name means 'Crooked White One.' In gentle
aspect, she was the muse, creator and protector
of bards. In anger, she was a monstrous white
sow, a flesh-devourer and bringer of madness.
Ceridwen could inspire bards or she could
destroy them, and the Teeth of the Moon Sow
reflected her power.
