The Anathemata

Mabinog’s Liturgy (continued)

Sisters, not so jealous! Someone must be chosen and forechosen15 —it stands to reason! After all there should be

solidarity in woman.

David Jones notes

15 See the Roman Breviary, at Sext. Versicle. Elegit eam Deus, et praeeletgit eam.

additional notes

DJ note 15: ‘God chose her, and fore-chose her.’ A versicle is a short ritual phrase said by the priest, to which the congregation make an equally ritual response (in this case, ‘He made her to dwell in His tabernacle’).
