Epona?

[Isabella SilverRain]

Hi guys,

I'm sorry that I don't know this but I really wanted to know. What pantheon is Epona from? I haven't seen any topics on her and I didn't find her on the sticky of Deity information. Again, I'm sorry that I didn't know, I'm just starting to study the Gods and Goddesses.

Thanks for any answers!

try Continental Celtic and British. also the Welsh equivalent would be Rhiannon. but there are differences.

Ah, thank you for the information. I didn't know that there was anymore information on Epona! I'm new to the site so I don't quite understand all the functions. Thank you for pointing that out to me!

Epona is a Gaulish (or Romano-Gaulish) goddess. Two of the members here run a very good website with lots of information on her:
