Is there a connection between Meldos and Taranis? Not much is known about Meldos, except that he may be the father of Maponos. But not much else is known. I think it's possible that he is Taranis. Anyone have any thoughts for or against?

Don't know enough to form an opinion on that one but in the realms of the gods I guess anything's possible.

Just a thought, I suppose. Mellt is a Welsh word for lightning. Taran is a Welsh word for thunder, I think. I think their language could provide added clues to the areas and how widespread their worship was. Probably not enough on it's own, but just a guess.

If you've not checked it out, I actually make the same connection myself here. |

You did. I read that section very early on, when I first discovered the site. I knew I heard it from somewhere. That's an important part of my practice. Diolch!

Also, did you write (well, type) the piece on the Goddesses?

Unfortunately, no. It falls into the distressingly large category of "things I have started with good intentions but never actually finished". I keep on meaning to eventually, but never seem to find the motivation.

Well, the sections you wrote on the Gods are phenomenal pieces. I hope you get to it at some point.
