Andarta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Celtic polytheism, Andarta was a warrior goddess worshipped in southern Gaul. Inscriptions to her have been found in Bern, Switzerland^{[citation needed]} as well as in southern France.^[1] She may also be related to the goddess Andate identified with Victory in Britain, according to Cassius Dio.^[2] Like the similar goddess Artio, she was associated with the bear.^{[citation needed]}
