Angitia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Roman mythology, Angitia was a snake goddess. As snakes were often associated with the healing arts in Ancient Roman Mythology, Angita is believed to have been mainly a goddess of healing. She was particularly venerated by the Marsi, a people from central Italy (may be same as Angita). She had powers of witchcraft and was a master in the art of miraculous and herbal healing, especially when it came to snakebites. She was also attributed with a wide range of powers over snakes, including the power to kill snakes with a touch. Many Romans claim that she is the same as Bona Dea.
