Modwenna is believed to have been a hermitess on the island of Andresey in the Trent River in England and also known as Monenna. The facts of her life are hopelessly confused with those of other saints, among them, the Irish Darerea (also known as Moninna and is said to be the first Abbess of Killeavy, who died about 517), Modwenna (St. Hilda's successor as Abbess of Whitby, who died about 695), and Modwenna (Abbess of Polesworth, Warwickshire, who died about 900). The name is also spelled Moninne and Merryn. Her feast day is July 6.

In Yu Ching, Lao Tzu tells us things may detach from their names, and names may detach from their things; yet there Immortals go on living in Law and Light: May merry Mary Smiling solemn help ignorant Earthlings to understand; May Yahweh bless and Angels caress our weary scholars' searching, searing, self-scolding brains, not to mention Merlin, Morgana or Morgan la fay.
