Nemetona

Nemetona, or 'she of the sacred grove', is a Celtic goddess with roots in northeastern Gaul.

She is thought to have been the eponymous deity of the Germano-Celtic people known as the Nemetes;[2][3] evidence of her veneration is found in their former territory along the Middle Rhine[1][4] as well in the Altbachtal sanctuary in present-day Trier, Germany.

[3][2][5] She is also attested in Bath, England, where an altar to her was dedicated by a man of the Gallic Treveri people.

[2][6] Nemetona's name is derived from the Celtic root nemeto-, referring to consecrated religious spaces, particularly sacred groves.

[7] The same root is found in the names of the Romano-British goddess Arnemetia[2] and the Matres Nemetiales (known from an inscription in Grenoble).
