Matrona


The goddess of the River Maine, near the source of which she had her main sanctuary.

Some sources say that she was the Divine Mother, and early Celtic goddess and probably the mother of Mabon/Maponus.

Welsh tradition names her Modron and the mother of Mabon, and this association with Mabon has led to her being considered as the original of Morgan Le Fay.
