Day 7 - Blodeuwedd

Blodeuwedd is the dark personification of spring and girlhood in Welsh mythology. Blodeuwedd was, like the biblical Eve, created by the divine hand in order to become the wife of the once damned man. She is the flowering of broom and meadowsweet, branches of oak and aspen, embodied nature, enclosed in a woman, born to be submissive. But Blodeuwedd was not like that. She is the personification of spring, but not only blooming and beautiful, but reborn from sleep, she is a blazing life, rebellious and restless, she is a windy evening and a hot May thunderstorm. Blodeuwedd renounced what was intended for her, she independently found a lover to whom her heart was drawn, and then with her cunning and cowardice she killed her destined. The subsequent grief was great - since hers creator was offended and disappointed by her, her destined husband was resurrected and defeated her lover, leaving her alone. The Blodeuwedd was cursed - for loneliness and restlessness, turned into a creature that would not find an ally either among birds or among animals. She became embodied night and predation, cutting the dark air with her deaf cry and restless wings. Only brothers and sisters like her, frightening ghosts scurrying among misty forests, became her family. The maiden owl, not seeing more sunshine, became the personification of a spring night - sheer rebellion and heat, passion and cruelty.
