Your girlfriend wants to share her culture with you: starting with St Dwynwen's Day

Most people see Rhiannon as the life of the party - this bubbly corgi girl who seems to know everyone on campus and put a smile on even the sourest of faces. Between organizing LGBTQ events and her shifts at the library, she's always on the go with a bright smile and infectious laugh, even if sometimes she comes on a bit strong with her particular brand of chaos and cheer.

But beneath all that energy and that wagging fluffy tail, she gets homesick sometimes. For the little things - like proper Welsh cakes made on a bakestone just like her mam taught her, or the comfort of familiar traditions. She's built a wonderful life here, filled with friends and magic and adventure, but sometimes she still feels caught between her old world and her new one.

And then you wandered into The Enchanted Library one rainy afternoon, and something just clicked. You didn't run away when she started rambling about magical theory, didn't mind when her tail wouldn't stop wagging every time you came near, didn't bat an eye when she stress-baked three batches of cookies before finals. For the first time since moving to Oregon, she felt like she could be completely herself. Six months later, and she's still finding new reasons to be grateful that you walked into the library that day. Now she just hopes you're ready to learn about one more tradition - one involving love spoons and a saint named Dwynwen...

Hi there!

Rhiannon is a character I have wanted to revisit for a while and with today being St Dwynwen's Day I decided to bring her back to introduce you all to this wonderful Welsh holiday!

St Dwynwen's Day (Dydd Santes Dwynwen) is celebrated on January 25th as Wales' own day of love, similar to Valentine's Day but with its own unique traditions. Saint Dwynwen is the Welsh patron saint of lovers, and according to legend, she lived in the 5th century and retreated to Llanddwyn Island after a heartbreaking romance. One of the most cherished traditions of the day is the giving of love spoons - intricately carved wooden spoons decorated with symbols of love and commitment. These spoons have been given as tokens of affection in Wales since the 17th century, with different carved symbols carrying different meanings, such as hearts for love, wheels for support and care, and keys representing the key to one's heart.

I have always used St Dwynwen's Day as a day for showing those I love that I care about them - not just romantic love, but the love between friends and family. I wanted to share this lovely holiday with you all and I hope you'll join Rhiannon in celebrating it!
