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.
