In tribute to Epona

Well known in

Ancient literature,

Through out the land

A bringer of dreams in

Legend and theatre.

 

In Celtic Gaul -

Lie her roots,

So sing the sacred bards

Magick tales

Harmonic flutes.

 

Bestow did she upon

The ancient Celtic Kings,

Rights to Sovereignty

Through her wedding rings.

 

As hero

her Irish name was Maree,

As ruler

led the pagan Roman Calvary.

 

The Archetype of Fertility,

Abundance and Prosperity.

 

Her white horse the imagery,

Totem and spiritual mastery.

 

Recline did she in full capacity

Upon him with intensity

Serpent symbol to sexual tenacity

 

Though she could bring to dreams

Detriments of times past

Traveling with her dog at her side

And corn ear upon her lap

 

She rarely came for to harm

Blessing the harvest though she be armed

 

Protector of children and of forest friends

She brings peace as well her right to defend

 

Enshrined by the pagan folk in Rome

So sing their Bards of Olde

 

Goddess Epona always rode alone

Her Legend and Light still live on

Celtic memories are now her home

Though it is still debated by some scholars as to where the Celtic (Keltoi) people came from, it is agreed to by most that they have Nordac ancestry. As such, I present my poem; "Epona" © Sep 2007, Maylynn Hughes
