Circumstances alter us before we have decided what those alterations mean. An old way of living begins to loosen while whatever comes next remains unfinished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring those periods, it can be tempting to hurry towards a new definition simply because being between them is uncomfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBetween Shapes\u003c\/strong\u003e is a personalised Welsh rite for inhabiting transformation while it is still taking place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing upon the transformations within the story of Ceridwen and Gwion Bach, the rite does not ask you to decide immediately what you are becoming. Instead, it creates a deliberate threshold in which to acknowledge what has already changed, what remains recognisably yours, and what may need more time before it can be named.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCeridwen, Gwion and changing form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the story associated with Taliesin, Gwion Bach receives the three drops of extraordinary knowledge intended for Ceridwen's son Afagddu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe understands immediately that Ceridwen will pursue him and flees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat follows is one of the most striking sequences of transformation in Welsh tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGwion becomes a hare; Ceridwen becomes a greyhound. He enters the water as a fish; she follows as an otter. He takes to the air as a bird; she pursues him as a hawk. Finally, he becomes a grain of wheat. Ceridwen becomes a hen and consumes him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLater she gives birth to him, and the child eventually becomes Taliesin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt would be easy to flatten this into a story about choosing to reinvent ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is not what the tale gives us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese transformations occur through pursuit, necessity and consequence. Gwion changes repeatedly because circumstances demand it, while Ceridwen changes in answer to him. What eventually emerges is something neither could have described when the pursuit began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rite I prepare is contemporary rather than a reconstructed historical Welsh practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat I take from the story is its unsettling image of \u003cstrong\u003eidentity continuing through changing forms\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThis rite may help you explore\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween Shapes may suit you when you are already living through substantial change and find yourself uncertain about who or what you will be on the other side of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps a role, relationship, career, home, belief or way of understanding yourself has changed.
