The legend of SADV

'SADV' - by sharon marie clarke-marris

The Creative Forest Goddess Sadv, associated with forests, the doe and fawn, she is one of the most ancient of the Celt Goddesses.

"…From the Celtic pantheon is the lovely and ancient Sadv.

SADV is a forest goddess, she brings creativity in a magical, earthy, forest-like, deer spirit sort of way.  She is the mother of the Oisin, the poet, she is an earthy creative sage with her white hair, blue-grey eyes and scarlet robes. She is connected to doe, fawn and deer … Sadv’s creative spirit is the soft flowing branches of the trees, the mystical tenderness of the doe and the dew that drops from the leaves as the creative drips form a pool of water below.

 

In some Celtic legends she appears as a hind (female deer) and has the gift of speech. She is described as white fairy deer. In other legends she is described as a sidhe fairy. You can seek Sadv when you need aid for your animal friends...

 

(Also known as Sadb, Saba, Sadhbh)
