	Mythography \| The Celtic Goddess Boann in Myth and Art
		There are a couple of variations on the myth of the goddess Boann, but one element tends to remain the same - she was the wife of Nechtan, a god of the water.
		Likewise, Boann was herself a water-goddess, and one of her myths concerns the water.
		In either case, this water became the river that was known henceforth as the Boyne, and Boann thereafter became the presiding deity.

	Boann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Irish mythology, Boann or Boand ("white cow") was the goddess of the River Boyne.
		Though forbidden to by her husband, Nechtan, Boann approached the magical well of Segais (also known as the Well of Wisdom), which was surrounded by hazel trees.
		Modern-day commentators and Neopagans sometimes identify Boann with the goddess Brigid[1] [2], or believe Boann to be Brighid's mother; however there are no Celtic sources that describe her as such.
