No mention of modern-day attitudes to her in this article? Totnesmartin 11:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bridget/Pridwen
As far as I know (and it's pretty far), there isn't any source connecting Ceridwen with Bridget--or any divinity for that matter, though her use of magic DOES point one in that direction--or for that matter, a name like Pridwen. The only name in Welsh literature that looks like Pridwen (and the spelling probably doesn't make much of a difference) is Arthur's ship Prydwen, mentioned in Culhwch ac Olwen and the Preiddeu Annwn. A connection to the Welsh name for Britain, Prydein, is probably very very vague any small on account on the similarities of the first element of the names and the spelling. So if the person who posted the relevant info would mention their sources, that would be much appreciated. And hopefully the source won't be written by someone named Graves or from Morgannwg.

- As it's been two months and there's still no source for this, I'm removing the sentence; I agree it's pretty bogus. Also removed the dubious claim that "some say" Taliesin is "the man upon whom the myths of Merlin were based." I can find no evidence of this and it is unsourced.
