The Horse Goddess by Morgan Llywelyn5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Finally, Kazhak sends her back to her people, with his loyal friend. ![]() She saves a mare from death and is successful at a foal's breech birth. She cannot fully adapt to the nomadic life and Kazhak, the man with whom she falls in love, and he with her, cannot fully understand or accept her culture. Kernunnos follows her to bring her back and often changes into the shape of a silver wolf. ![]() She travels to the 'Sea of Grass' with these men and lives among the Scythians. In order to escape life under Kernunnos as a trainee drui, Epona runs off with a small band of Scythians who came to her village to trade. The protagonist, Epona, daughter of the chieftain, is discovered by Kernunnos, the shapeshifter/shaman or drui to have extra-special powers, such as connecting with the spirits and talking with animals, especially the horse. ![]() I had an inkling of this from the names of characters in the Celtic village, from the very beginning of the novel. Really enjoyed the author's conception of how possibly her early Iron Age human Celtic characters, through the mists of time and legend, might have been gradually transformed into the Celtic pantheon of gods and goddesses. ![]()
