Danu, the Earth

"Here is the story of Danu's filling the world with her rhythm that she might surge always in the blood tides of our bodies and hearts. How sweet to carry menstruation from a medicalized sanitation to a tender sanctification." Storyteller, Carolyn McVickar Edwards, reads her mythical story, "The Gift of Rhythm and Blood," honoring the primordial Celtic goddess, Danu. The ancient tuatha de Danaan named the earth goddess as the very source of their lives. This story comes from Carolyn's collection, "The Storyteller's Goddess, Tales of the Goddess and Her Wisdom from Around the World."
