Caer Feddwid
The “Court of Carousal,” also known as Caer Siddi and Caer Arianrhod, an
opulent island kingdom featuring fountains and curative fresh water springs, but
long ago lost beneath the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Caer Feddwid is one of
several Welsh versions of Atlantis.
(See Arianrhod, Gwyddno, Llyn Syfaddon)Calypso
An Atlantis, daughter of Atlas by Thetis, a sea-goddess. Calypso’s residence
was a sacred cave on the island of Ogygia, where she had the power to grant eternal
life to mortal human beings. She personifies the Atlantean Navel of the World
mystery cult, with its cave rituals and promises of immortality. “Ogygia” derives
from Ogyges, a flood hero in Greek mythology, implying that Calypso’s island and
Atlantis were one and the same.
