<p>For those of you who know anything about the ancient Celts, you&#8217;ll know they were obsessed with the sun, as indicated in many pieces of Celtic Art.  The sun was a symbol of life, fertility and growth to the Celts, and they spent much of their time focussing on the cycle of the sun [although we now know that it is the earth which revolves around the sun and not vice-versa], and the seasonal fruits its presence bore-hence why we have the Celtic sun-wheel motifs</p>

<p>This is the Celtic goddess Bloddeuwedd.  The ancient Celts revered nature; that is why all of their deities are the embodiment of every aspect of nature.  Essentially, their gods are tangible; [i.e. Teutates <em>is</em> the water, hence why warriors on the <em>Gundestrup Cauldron</em> were depicted being dunked head first into water].  In this instance, Bloddeuwedd is the very essence of the 9 Primroses, the moon and her totem animal is the owl</p>

<p>Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and the meaning is &#8216;I am&#8217;.  I&#8217;m not sure if this has something to do with the Old Testament Christian god who categorically states that he is the first and the last, and that he is the great &#8216;I am&#8217;.  Coincidental as it may be, this is merely an example of my zodiac plaques.  The pictures can be adapted to suit taste</p>
