| Description |
Photographed on the Garrison, St Mary's, Isles of Scilly. Broom (Cytisus spp.) With flowers of the Oak, With flowers of the Broom, Gwydion made Blodeuwedd Without sperm nor womb. With flowers of the meadowsweet, Math caused her heart to beat— Flower maiden, Muse made new, Consort for the great god Lleu. He watched the flowers upon the floor Arranged in woman’s form, And as he knelt and stretched his hand He felt that they were warm. He watched them turn to woman’s flesh, The leaf-veins turning red; He saw the petals turn to hair About the woman’s head. He watched as breasts, and hands, and limbs, And joints grew all as one; She opened wide Broom-yellow eyes, Him to look upon. He breathed upon her open lips, Like wind upon a rose, And, though he’d made her, set her free, To wander as she chose. Blodeuwedd, with eyes of Broom, With heart of Meadowsweet, Each cell the smallest part of Oak, Went forth on silent feet. Source material. The fourth branch of the Mabinogion. Although Blodeuedd was made in order to become a “consort to the great god Llew”, she had other ideas.
