Why:
In ancient Celtic folklore, Casseopia (then known as the Castle of Gwydion) was believed to be the name of the legend Danu, written in the sky for all of eternity. Danu had been the mother of the Tuatha de Dannan ("People of the goddess Danu") who were the Irish race of 'gods'. These gods, who originally lived on 'the islands in the west', had perfected the use of magic. Therefore, Danu's name in the sky guided the ancient Irish Celts through their lives, showing them where to return to.
Thousands of years later, this Queen of the Goddess' namesake still uses this odd W shaped constellation to guide her. This small smattering of stars not only reminds her of her favourite stories from her childhood, but provides some small sense of relief and safety - when she gazes up to the constellation, she likes to imagine the ancient Goddess, forgotten by time and modernity, is gazing back down to her.
