Mythic Celts Sulis Minerva -For Wisdom and Healing Serpent Pendant Necklace

Come with us now on a journey through legends and mystery, to the world of the Mythic Celts. Here you will find classic Celtic designs with a taste of Wicca and ancient mythology.

Simply, Sulis is the Celtic Goddess of healing and sacred waters and the Roman Goddess of wisdom. But there is so much more to her mythology than that.

Sulis, the great British Celtic healer Goddess, was originally a solar and fertility deity. Sulis’ shrine was located at Bath, England, where her power was strongest. Some scholars say she was a “Solar” divinity; her name is a derivative of the Celtic word “Sul” for “sun” and “eye,” and Suilead, meaning wisdom. She is also a Goddess of healing waters.

Perpetual fires burned at her shrines, which were natural mineral hot springs. The Romans called her “Minerva Medica” (healing). Statues show Minerva Medica as matronly, with a hat made out of a bear’s head, and her foot resting on an owl. She was also referred to as “Sulis Minerva” by the Romans. Minerva was a virgin warrior dedicated to women’s rights and freedom. The owl was her sacred bird, and healing and medicine were her themes.

As Sulis Minerva is seen as a Goddess of healing, it would make sense for a snake, a common medicinal symbol to be tied to her; as one wraps itself around the pentagram of this pendant.
