Description: Shapeshifting excellent Goddess of the calendar cycle, the chase, love, fertility, prophesy and death.
Note: since I have as yet found no image of Goda, the image used is of Epona since there seems to be a connection between Epona and Godiva, and through Godiva, possibly a connection between Epona and Goda. The image is from page 81 Celtic Mythology, Mac Cana.
