Buttrflynet--
I have trouble wrapping my tongue around any form of the Gallic. My Irish roots have been translated.

Nadia was a sweet child, etherial, but still very mortal.

Maeve was a woman who went out looking for trouble. Thirty years ago, I'd have considered Maeve, but I'm not looking for new Life Challenges this yer.
Solipsister--
I like the windings of your mind.

Inviting a creature of an unfamiliar mythology might lead to some unsettling surprises.

I've settled as Brigit. She's Irish as Paddy's Pig, a woman who has survived at least three massive territorial invasions and she's not only a survivor, but a cheerful advisor.
From every-bountious Wiki:
Quote:She is the goddess of all things perceived to be of relatively high dimensions such as high-rising flames, highlands, hill-forts and upland areas; and of activities and states conceived as psychologically lofty and elevated, such as wisdom, excellence, perfection, high intelligence, poetic eloquence, craftsmanship (especially blacksmithing), healing ability, druidic knowledge and skill in warfare. In the living traditions, whether seen as goddess or saint, she is largely associated with the home and hearth....
So much I'd known, although not in such detail.
New to me:
Quote:Because of the intermarriage and cultural blending between the Irish and Africans, it is possible that Haitian Voodo is partially influenced by survivals of Celtic polytheism.[4] Maman Brigitte is worshipped as the Lady of the Cemetery; her colors are purple, violet and black. She is the wife of Baron Samedi, and characterised as a hard working, hard cursing woman who can swear a blue streak and enjoys a special drink made of rum laced with 21 hot peppers
Brigit is a survivor.
Thanks all.

Are you going to give your pig a local habitation and a name?
