	Celtic Mother Goddesses
		There isn't a single, universally worshipped, Celtic mother goddess, or even a single universally worshipped Irish mother goddess, by which I mean a female deity or divine figure associated with nurture and fertility exclusively.
		There are references all over the continent to Deae Matres, and (most especially in the Rhineland and Cisalpine Gaul) the Matronae.
		These goddesses are often triple, not in the Gravesian sense of Mother, Maiden, Crone (though some of the figures appear to be two younger or middle aged figures and one older female), but in the sense that the iconographic representations show three female figures, often virtually identical.

		The best known of the Ancaster deities is the 'Deae Matres', or 'Three Mothers', the cult of which was probably of Iron Age origins, but appears to have been popular throughout areas of Roman Britain.
		What is interesting about the worship of this God is that it is, like the 'Deae Matres', of Iron Age origin, with no known counterpart in the Roman pantheon.
		The fact that the stones were reused in graves suggests that the burials were Christian, and therefore had no respect for the pagan deities.

		Then again some are wildly generic, like the altar raised to Matres Italae Germanae Gal(lae) Brit(annae) by Antonius Lucretianus, beneficiarius consularis.
		Interesting though because it implies that some commonality was seen with Matres from these four areas.

	GENUKI: Doncaster History
		It was formerly a Roman station, by Ninius called Caer Daun; by Antoninus, Danum, and so likewise by the Notitia, which relates, that the Prefect of the Crispinian horse garrisoned here: this body of cavalry probably took its name from Crispus, son of Constantine the Great.
		The remains of a Roman road are still visible; and in digging a cellar in St. Sepulchre's Gate, in 1781, a Roman votive altar of a exquisite workmanship was discovered, which, from the inscription, appears to have been dedicated to the Deae Matres.
		Watson supposes Doncaster to have been the campadonum of Bede; an opinion controverted by Dr. Whitaker, but his arguments are not very satisfactory.

	Celtic Triple Deities
		The mother-goddess is perhaps the commonest type of Celtic divinity treated in this way and the triadic form appears to have played an important role in her worship and cult-expression.
		"The three mothers or Deae Matres, as they are frequently called in inscriptions, were known also as the Matrone, especially in Cisalpine Gaul (North Italy) and Lower Germany.
		We know more about the cult of the triple mothers than some other cults of Celtic origin simply because they are often named and bear descriptive surnames which give clues to their identity.

		Possible fertility elements are also present, such as model breasts and a schist plaque depicting the Dea Matres (Cunliffe and Davenport 1985, 182, 183; Henig, Brown, Baatz, Sunter and Allason-Jones 1985, 8).
		It is therefore probable that there was a progressive transfer of the originally regional, solar, ruling attributes to appropriate male divinities, although the regular appropriation of Matres by soldiers suggests some perceived residual military symbolism (Henig 1984, 49).
		Aquatic associations would have facilitated assimilation with either nymphs or Venus, and the symbolism of pseudo-Venus’s appears to be related to the Deae Matres (Jenkins 1956, 61, 62, 65; 1957, 38; Toynbee 1964, 83; Green 1976; 20-21, 22, 119; 1984, 196, 200; 1986, 95, 164).

		It seems doubtful if these little creatures have any religious significance and Professor Toynbee suggests that they may have been introduced to provide a comic element, like the later clowns (Toynbee 1962, 191).
		This element might have been heightened by the use of the cucullus for clothing infants as shown on one of the reliefs of the Deae Matres at Cirencester, in which the central goddess has an infant in her arms (Toynbee 1964, 172, p1 XLIIIa).
