This is the Celtic goddess Bloddeuwedd. The ancient Celts revered nature; that is why all of their deities are the embodiment of every aspect of nature. Essentially, their gods are tangible; [i.e. Teutates is the water, hence why warriors on the Gundestrup Cauldron were depicted being dunked head first into water]. In this instance, Bloddeuwedd is the very essence of the 9 Primroses, the moon and her totem animal is the owl
