then I saw this blog...

but I don't see anything else about this Goddess. Anyone know anything more? Better yet, anyone work with/worship Her?

Well, to the best of my knowledge (I primarily follow a Welsh pantheon, and know a bit of Welsh) that "heulwen" is the Welsh word for "sunshine" and not a Deity.

Hm. Never heard of a goddess with that name. It's possible it's a goddess coming to someone with that name, there are many sun goddess out there. Maybe it's Brighid? Or someone else? It could also be a spirit guide mistaken to be a deity. Or a totally unknown or new goddess. No idea!
I did find a mention of a goddess with that name, but it's from a RPG site. For something called "The Obsidian Continent"
http://www.geocities.ws/darkwicca12/TheObsidianGodsPage.html -- under "Elf Gods" there is: Heulwen. (http://www.geocities.ws/darkwicca12/Heulwen.html)
Many RPGs use deity names and tweak things about them, but it seems this one is totally made up...

I found the name listed here: Christine’s Faery List: Ellén (http://www.tartanplace.com/faery/goddess/ellen.html)
Not sure how accurate it is... hope this helps!
