Official synopsis Publisher
The ancient Celts were exceptional in their preference for goddesses over gods. Yet this may not be surprising in a people who had female rulers, invented chivalry, and were ahead of their time in having equal rights for men and women. While the Romans created a goddess of sewers (Cloacina), the Celts had goddesses for things they revered, such as the forest, and horses — and even war.
