ORIGIN: Celtic [Irish]

TYPE: Chthonic horse goddess

INFORMATION: The daughter of Hefaidd Hen and consort of Pwyll, she rides upon a white mare and is associated with the underworld and with fertility. May be virtually synonymous with the Romano-Celtic goddess Rigantona whose name means "great queen". Authors suggest she is modeled on the goddess Modron and she partly equates with Epona.
