Rigantona

Picture
The name Rigantona is a derivation from the Proto-Celtic word  Rigani,  meaning Great Queen. 

She was the Great Mother Goddess on whom the Brythons  relied for their survival from year to year.  As such she was  their  protectress, midwife, and fertility Goddess who travelled with them through  the cycle of the year. 

She was worshipped as the deity from whom the rivers and  springs flowed, the crops grew, the animals produced young, and who was a  personification of the Earth  itself.
