About #gaulish deities of #death and the #underworld. What do we have besides Aerecura? #Nantosuelta is often spoken of, but I perceive her morely as a household deity like #Hestia. #Sucellos is described by the romans in the #interpretatioRomana in comparsion to #Silvanus, #Silenus which would make him a consort of #Dionysos and wanderer of liminal spaces between culture and nature, civilisation and wilderness.
I would like to see some post about the gaulish view to that topic.

As far as I can tell, the 1st publication to use "Eponalia" is "The Wicca Book of Days" (Dunwich, 1995). While it is a sensible analogy to Saturnalia and Opalia (the days before and after), the Guidizzolo fragment writes out "Saturnalia," but leaves the next day as just "Epone".

Wikimedia has a nice gallery of #Gaulish votive wood carvings that miraculously survive from Sequana's sanctuary (exhibit at Musée de Dijon):

I was hoping to find correspondences in #astrology to the #Coligny calendar, which I didn't, really — at least nothing straightforward.
But one possibility that stuck out to me has to do with Equos and Elembiuos — the so-called Horse and Deer months.
There's nothing about their season (assuming Samonios is summer) that seems relevant to either animal. But the root word Elembiuos is actually related to 'lamb', and obviously a horse + goat pair reminds of Sagittarius and Capricorn… 1/x

CW: Image of a God
The #Reims Stela is one of the more impressive and complete survivals of #Cernunnos iconography.
Because the weathered stone is so dull, I've always wanted to see it restored to its former #polychromy glory. I experimented with some digital colorization, and here is the result!

A lovely copper-gilt wooden statue of #Epona that was recovered from the depths of a well.

Question for my #Pagan friends:
Are there any blog posts, books, etc., you know of that were influential in spreading anti-“#eclectic” or #syncretic beliefs?
Particularly ones which portray historical #polytheism as having been inherently monocultural, “pure,” provincial, etc.?

The end of Aedrinios brings us to the beginning of the #Gaulish month of Cantlos today — the 12th, and final, month of the #Coligny calendar.
The name "Cantlos" is directly related to Old Irish cétal 'singing, chanting', and Welsh cathl 'song, poem'.
There are many reasons the month could be named for song, but what sticks out to me is how much more I hear the birds singing lately, as they return for the warmer weather. 🐦

Yesterday was the end of the #Gaulish month of Aedrinios, (also spelled Edrinios).
Its root word is related to Old Irish áed 'fire' and Welsh eiddig — which means 'fiery' in a metaphorical sense ('greedy, ardent, envious,' etc.).
It is also related to Latin aedes, meaning 'temple' or 'home' — probably in reference to the fires of the altar and hearth.
Perhaps Aedrinios was once the occasion of bonfire or sacrificial observances that are now lost to time...

I fell behind keeping up with the #Gaulish #Coligny months, but February would have been the 10th month of the year known as Elembiu (or possibly *Elembivos).
Elembiu is a unique name that the living #Celtic languages don't shed much light on.
Comparisons have been made to Irish eilit 'doe' and Welsh elain 'fawn', but both of these better correspond to another Gaulish term we know of, Elantia.

For a late entry to #ReliefWednesday, here is a Roman relief showing a cute scene of some #Belgic kiddos eating dinner out of a pot, with their little dog trying to sneak a taste. Found at #Arlon and held at the Metz Museum.

CW: Conversion therapy, Pagan spirituality
I've seen a lot of discourse about hypothetically "curing" #transgender, which stems from a #materialist fallacy of viewing #LGBT people as having "medical conditions" — or as the more extreme like to say, of LGBT people being *diseases*.
"What makes #ConversionTherapy immoral is that it doesn't work," they argue, implying that a successful method to eradicate us would somehow be "moral". 1/x

I used to argue against Heathen narratives that "queers get the bog" on historical grounds, but at this point, why bother? Might as well reclaim it.
That's right: We are those bog bodies reincarnate. We are here to corrupt your traditions and haunt your waking life. Fucking fight us.

It's obvious, given #Rowling's penchant for naming characters with ham-fisted puns, that she intended "Sirona Ryan" as a cryptic, backhanded way to #misgender a trans woman (first, for Sirona sounding like "sir", second for the surname sounding like a man's name).
This is an extremely cynical way to troll the trans-rights boycott of her video game. I'm sure we'll never hear the end of people claiming Rowling and #HogwartsLegacy are really inclusive now, since they "even have a trans character"

#Sirona is in fact a Gaulish #Goddess associated with thermal baths and healing. Her name means something like "Divine Star," and was also spelled Đirona, Θirona, or Serona.
She was often worshipped alongside #Apollo ~ #Grannos, Solar Gods Who were also of healing and thermal baths.
Her iconography was represented by Roman artists as #Hygeia, a Greek Goddess of health and hygiene.
