Druantia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mythology Druantia is a fir tree goddess who probably had her origins in Gaul.[1]
The root of her name, drus, means "oak," and links her also with oak trees and with the druids. Today she is associated with the dryads, the tree faeries, and reigns as their queen.[citation needed] The dryads protect their native trees by punishing those who show disrespect. Known as the "Queen of the Druids", Mother of the tree calendar; Fir Goddess. Fertility, passion, sexual activities, trees, protection, knowledge, creativity. She is derived from Celtic regions.
