The Seven Lords of Outer Darkness

The Seven Guardians are the highest manifestations of the elemental principles. The legends of our tradition call them the Nephelim, or Old Ones; it is said that they came to us when we called them from among the stars where they were born. The oldest form of the legend says that when humankind was in its infancy, the Nephelim mated with humankind, and that the Welsh Faerie Peoples, from whom the Welsh Tradition is handed down, are their descendants. They appear to us as both male and female in form, for the essence of each is, like the human spirit, androgynous: not merely male, and not merely female.

AMAETHEON, THE GUARDIAN OF THE EAST represents the power of knowledge. He appears standing before the rising sun. His body is transparent golden yellow, his eyes are two very bright light-blue stars, and he has great wings colored pale violet. His right hand holds a wand of sapphire, bound with gold at the top and silver at the bottom.

GOVANNAN, THE GUARDIAN OF THE SOUTH represents the power of Truth. He appears in the desert at high noon. His body is transparent ruby red, and he is surrounded by a cloud of fire like the teardrop shape
of a candle flame. In his right hand he holds a sword of bright blue metal, the Sword of Dyrnwyn, which is also known as Excalibur.

DYLAN, THE GUARDIAN OF THE WEST represents the power of Love. He appears as a dragon colored transparent green, rising from the sea, with cascades of water gushing from his jaws, surrounded by the colors of sunset. His left hand holds a silver chalice.

BOREAS, THE GUARDIAN OF THE NORTH WIND represents the power of Wisdom. He appears as a jet-black goat with silver horns and golden eyes, in a cave deep in Earth at midnight, surrounded by a halo of
flickering blue fire. His left hoof rests upon a perfect cube of green stone on which is engraved a pentacle.

ARIANRHOD, GUARDIAN OF THE HEAVENS The Guardian of the Heavens appears as a human-shaped silhouette, a blackness blazing with stars. This is Arianrhod, the ruler of the Stars.

TALIESIN, GUARDIAN OF THE UNDERWORLD The Guardian of the Underworld appears as a great fish which is normally a Salmon, coiled in a circle, with dark-brown scales flecked with green and blue
iridescence, carrying a burning ember in its mouth. This is also Taliesin, of the Shining Brow, chief Bard of the Isle of Britain; he is companion to those who choose the narrow path of understanding through the highest elemental contacts.

MATH, GUARDIAN OF THE GATES The Guardian of the Center represents the power of pure consciousness.
