Rhiannon Lyrics & Meaning Rhiannon is a song performed by Fleetwood Mac. They released it in 1976 on their self-titled album Fleetwood Mac. The song became so popular that it is now considered one of the top 500 of all songs ever. It is an outstanding achievement that really showed the power of Stevie Nicks’ song writing capabilities.
Rhiannon is the name of a Welsh goddess. According to myth, Rhiannon, the goddess of fertility and the moon, shuns a god and marries a mortal man. That god then frames her for the murder of her own son, and she is forced to stand at the entrance to a city and tell everyone entering that she killed her child.
The Triad character, Rhiannon is a witch who possesses the main character of the novel, and so Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon” has come to be known as a song about a witch. Stevie Nicks and her mysterious, witchy appearance and voice certainly lend themselves to that interpretation.
Nicks discovered the Welsh mythology behind Rhiannon, further allowing her to connect on a spiritual level the magical character. In the myth, Queen Rhiannon rejects a god in favor of a mortal man.
