  • She has in these early Celtic representations, a bird’s head (often a crow, raven or vulture) and breasts, and on vessels depicting her there is a symbol for the number three. Sometimes three lines are connected and depict a triple energy that flows from her body, as she is giver and sustainer of life. Very early she is understood to be a triple goddess, a shape shifter, a three part person. Her names are plentiful and sound like her original name.
