Lofted in the fall of 1982, Ceridwen was built at "Magner & Sons Boatworks" in Carlsburg, WA.
John Magner and his son Kevin lofted her, and helped owners Matt and Stephanie McCleary pour the lead keel, cut and assemble the keel timbers, steam bend the oak frames, install the shear clamp, shelf, and deck frames, lay the plywood sub-deck, and attach the cabin sides and coach roof.
Ceridwen has Balua keel timbers, Port Orford cedar planking, teak decking with Honduras mahogany covering boards, old growth fir cabin sides, and a fir and mahogany interior with bird's-eye maple countertops.

 Cauldron of Changes
But Ceridwen leapt into the water and she became an otter, and though Salmon was swift, Otter was swifter, and her paws flexed for the kill.
That Ceridwen is a Welsh aspect of the Great Goddess is suggested by her two children, who in their polarized qualities of darkness and light, personify the opposites: the Two that emerge from the One to form the world of creation as we experience it.
So Ceridwen’s cauldron is both the womb that gives birth to Taliesin, and also, as a symbol of the goddess who metes out death as well as life, an instrument of destruction whose spilled contents poisoned the streams and the animals that drank from them.

 Ceridwen of Kilton, a RebeccasReads.com Book Review by Rebecca Brown
Ceridwen of Kilton is written in the first person singular, which often makes for a startlingly strange turn of phrase, Olde English notwithstanding.
It has been a long time since I immersed myself in a story from the Old World about the jockeying for power before England was forged by male relatives who banded together to repel invaders, in lethal, hand-to-hand combat, swearing oaths of fealty, and ceaselessly deceiving each other for a crown.
While Ceridwen of Kilton is frequently mesmerizing reading, like a strong mead, to be sipped and swirled around the palette, tasting the bouquet of the story and its telling, I was almost instantly confused by fathers and sons having the same names, and the importance of the cast of characters.
