Aveta

Aveta

In Gallo-Roman religion, Dea Aveta was a mother goddess, also associated with the fresh-water spring at Trier in what is now Germany.Miranda Green. "The Celtic Goddess as Healer." In Sandra Billington (ed). 1996. "The Concept of the Goddess." Routledge. ISBN 978-0-415-14421-6. p.33.] Aveta is known mainly from clay figurines found at Toulon-sur-Allier in France ["Timeless Myths." [http://www.timelessmyths.com/celtic/gallic.html Gallic Deities] ] and at Trier. These figurines show the goddess with infants at the breast, small lap-dogs, or baskets of fruit. There was a temple dedicated to Aveta in the Altbachtal complex at Trier. [Miranda Green. 1992. "Symbol and Image in Celtic Religious Art." Routledge. ISBN 978-0-415-08076-7. p.28.] Her name is also known from inscriptions found in Switzerland, and the Côte-d'Or (France). ["L'Arbre Celtique."
