| | Brigantia: a pan-Celtic goddess, also known as Bridig, Brigit, Brigindona, Brighid, Bríd, Bride, Brigan, ... |
 | | She is the brother of Oengus Mac ind-Óg, the Irish equivalent of the Brythonic Maponos and Bodb Derg, king of the Tuatha de Danann after they are driven underground into the sidhe. |
 | | The insular Brythonic goddess, Brigantia, was the tutelary deity of the Brigantes tribe of northern Britain. |
 | | In the insular tradition, therefore, Brigantia can be viewed as warrior, water deity and healer (if she is a pastoral deity and by association with Minerva). |
