Epona
 EponaA Continetal Celtic Goddess of horses, mules, and cavalrymen. She was worshipped all throughout Gaul, and even as far as the Danube and Rome. Her cult was adopted by the Roman calvary, the only Celtic Goddess to be worshipped ‘officially’ by Romans. Epona is often depicted sitting side saddle or reclining on a horse, or standing with 2 horses, one on either side of her. Her symbol is the Cornucopia (”horn of plenty”) which suggests that she could also have been a Celtic Goddess of fertility. She is also identified with the Celtic goddess Edain. She may also be one and the same as the Irish Celtic Goddess, Macha. |
