The most well known Celtic god associated with horses is the goddess Epona. She is known as a protector of horses, donkeys and mules. Epona is the only Celtic god that was also worshiped in Rome. This is because the Romans often procured by horses and charioteers from the Celtic Island. There are references to Epona in some Roman literature and on inscriptions on carved images of the goddess. The name Epona derives from Gaulish which was a Celtic language spoken in Gaul and other parts of continental Europe from around the 6th century BC to the 6th century AD. She is usually depicted riding or standing between two horses.

And so Michele, another day of tribute and I am indulging in my love of Celtic lore...and WHERE to my wandering Eyes DO I LAND?? ...but in your CELTIC ART COLLECTION!...ohhh...such INTRICATE DESIGN and ENCHANTMENT lives here! While other children were reading comic books, I was mesmerized by ancient history and read Graeco-Roman mythology for fun. I don’t remember Epona...but then again, assigned reading in my educational background acquainted me with the lives of the saints and I don’t remember all of their names either..:-) The number seven has religious and spiritual symbology in many traditions and I wonder if this was an incidental design choice or more deliberate, commingled awareness given your tendencies of historical backstory. Either way...a pleasant Purple Artpiece! :-). Lf
