Special: Ceridwen is served by swynwraigs (Welsh sorceresses), druidesses, gweledydds (Welsh seers), & gwiddons (Welsh witches). In addition, she can be followed in one of a number of ways, granting different abilities based on  her various aspects (see below). Which one applies to a follower can either be selected and remain set, can be determined at random as the situation warrants, or can even change over time. 

Allowed Weapons: Staff, dagger, club
Allowed Armor: None

Symbols: Cauldron, Branch, White 

Can Turn: (by aspect)

   Ceridwen the Transforming: any who resist change (if not known, 75% chance if Lawful, 50% chance if Neutral, 25% chance if Chaotic).
   Ceridwen the Mother: any who might endanger the swynwraig's children.
   Ceridwen the Wise: the unwise (if not known, any with a Wisdom score below a certain number- roll 3d6 to determine what it is each time turning is attempted).

Mysteries of Ceridwen: Up to once per day per level, spellcasters who follow Ceridwen can reroll one of their saves or spell rolls when:

   Ceridwen the Transforming: experiencing transformation.
   Ceridwen the Mother: protecting their children.

   Ceridwen the Wise: dealing with wisdom.

For example, a swynwraig of Ceridwen might turn as Cerdiwen the Mother, then access mysteries as Ceridwen the Transforming in a particular instance, or all the time, or turn and access mysteries as Ceridwen the Mother only, etc.
