  The story of Llew & Blodeuedd
This time, Llew was not to have his own set of armor and a weapon until she gave it to him.
Llew gave in and told her that he could only be killed with a spear that was made over one year and work on the spear could only be done on sabbats.
Llew got tired of her whining and decided to prove that he wouldn’t be killed.

 LLew
They are Gawain and the Green Knight, Gwyn and Gwythyr, Llew and Goronwy, Lugh and Balor, Balan and Balin, the Holly King and the Oak King, etc. Often they are depicted as fighting seasonal battles for the favor of their goddess/lover, such as Creiddylad or Blodeuwedd, who represents Nature.
So Llew is balanced between cauldron and goat, between summer and winter, on the balance (Libra) point of the autumnal equinox, with one foot on the summer solstice and one foot on the winter solstice.
Although Llew is struck with the sunlight spear at the autumnal equinox, and so 'dies' as a human, it takes a while before Gwydion discovers him in his eagle form.

 Blodeuwedd
The Legend of Blodeuwedd is also the story of Llew’s struggle for his kingship which was averted and made more difficult by the Goddess Arianrhod who tried Her best to prevent Llew, Her son, his birth-right due to the shame brought upon Her by his companions.
Arianrhod was tricked into giving Llew his name and his arms but the larger problem of having a wife, which would assert his right to the land, was accomplished through the magick of his cousins, Math and Gwydion, who created Blodeuwedd from the flowers of the Oak, Broom and Meadowsweet.
Her Own desires are impossible to achieve while Llew lives and She is often seen as the epitome of non-assertive femininity, fickleness and the faithless wife, using the passion of two men for Her to seal the doom of both.

 Llew LLaw Gyffes and Cerridwen
Llew is seen by many scholars as the Welsh equivalent of Lugh, (which means light) the Irish god of light who is master of all the crafts of men.
She tricks Llew into revealing how he can only be killed by standing with one foot in a cauldron placed on a riverbank, with the other foot on a billy goat, at twilight.
Llew changes into the form of an eagle and flies away to an ancient oak tree.

 Lleu Llaw Gyffes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Welsh mythology, Lleu Llaw Gyffes (/ɬeɨ ɬau gəfes/, sometimes called Llew Llaw Gyffes) is a character appearing in the fourth of the Four Branches of the Mabinogion, the tale of Math fab Mathonwy.
Lleu (or Llew) is widely understood to be the Welsh equivalent of the Irish Lugh and the Gaulish Lugus.
When his mother Arianrhod was magically tested for virginity by Math she gave birth to Lleu as a blob, together with his brother Dylan Eil Ton.

 DE DOOD VAN LLEW
Llew is de god van het licht in Wales en zijn naam betekent ‘leeuw’.
Maar wanneer Llew daarmee geraakt wordt, wordt hij niet gedood.
Het zou nu niet als een verrassing moeten komen dat, wanneer het Llew’s tijd is om Goronwy te doden, Llew erop aandringt dat Goronwy moet staan waar hijzelf ooit heeft gestaan terwijl hij (Llew) de speer werpt.

 The Betrayal of Llew Llaw Gyffes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Blodeuwedd used her glamor to make Gronw appear like Llew in every way and they returned to the castle of Llew Llaw Gyffes to rule together as husband and wife, thinking no one would ever be the wiser.
She followed the river upstream and came to a brook which is called Nant Y Llew and there she stopped and began eating something at the base of a tall oak tree.
Llew agreed to this and a large rock slab was placed between them as Gronw took his position beneath the thatched roof with one foot in a cauldron and the other on a stag.

 Mythology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In Celtic Pagan cultures, the Sun God is seen as split between two rival personalities: the god of light and his twin, his 'weird', his 'other self', the god of darkness.
Repeatedly, the 'Mabinogion' tells us that Llew must be standing with one foot on the cauldron and one foot on the goat's back in order to be killed.
When Gwydion catches her, he transforms her into an owl, a fitting symbol of autumn, just as her earlier association with flowers (she was made from them) equates her with spring.

And if this is true, it may be that Llew, the Sun God, finally ‘dies’ to the upperworld on Halloween, and now passes through the gates of death, where he is immediately crowned king of the Underworld, the Lord of Misrule!
Meanwhile, Goronwy (with Blodeuwedd at his side) is crowned king in the upperworld, and occupies Llew’s old throne, beginning on Halloween.

 nonfluffypagans: Mabinogion question
For any unfamiliar, a basic recounting of her myth, so far as I understand it, is thus: Llew Llaw Gyffes was cursed by his mother Arianrhod that he could marry no mortal woman.
Llew kills the hunter in a “fair” duel and Bloedwedd is cursed and turned into an owl.
Llew's "slaying" and transformation at the end appears as a classical instance of shamanic shapeshifting (I know there weren't Celtic shamans, that's why I'm using the the word shamanic.

Llew Llaw Gyffes ruled the Cantrev of Dinodig given to him by Math, son of Mathonwy.
As she said the words, Blodeuwedd realized that she did not wish to be bound to Llew Llaw Gyffes, that she would choose this other man, this stranger before her who spoke to her as if she were his equal.
And when Llew was restored, he said to Math son of Mathonwy: "It is time that I seek retribution for the injury done to me." Math agreed, and Llew had the support of all of Gwynedd.
