The sacred Sun-king, born at mid-Winter returns at death, the Summer Solstice, to the Universal Mother, the White Moon Goddess who imprisons him in the extreme north, where the Sun never shines. The relation between Caer Sidi: Glass Castle and Caer Arianrhod seems to be that the burial place of the dead king was a barrow on an an island where his spirit lived under charge of oracular and orgiastic priestesses, but his soul went to the stars and awaited rebirth in another king.
