Sulis Celtic Goddess of Healing and Prophecy

Introducing Sulis a Celtic Goddess and is said to be a goddess of the sun, healing and prophecy.  

Sulis is the goddess of thermal springs that still feed the spa baths at Bath in the UK, the Romans called Bath or the Roman settlement as it was at the time, Aquae Sulis ("the waters of Sulis").  In ancient times Sulis was revered as a healing goddess whose sacred hot springs could cure physical or spiritual suffering and illness.  

The Roman’s later adopted Sulis into their own worship by merging her with Minerva, elevating Sulis to rule over home and state.  As Sulis Minerva, She was made the Goddess of City, of Handcrafts, Justice and Agriculture.  Agriculture being the perfect domain of course for an ancient Sun Goddess that could easily protect and nourish the crops!

With her association to the warrior aspects of Minera, Sulis then had the power to witness oaths, catch thieves, and find lost objects. Many curse tablets have been found at Bath Spa calling on Sulis to cast punishment on the guilty!

Her symbols are antlers, symbols of the sun’s rays, and symbols of the sun.  It was thought that Sulis’s power reflected the divine light of the sun into the healing power of water.

Many Pagans still incorporate Sulis into their worship today.  She to some is still a source of soothing, healing and reassuring energy.

This beautiful Goddess figurine has been hand sculpted and hand painted, as such - no two are never exactly the same.  Her hair is the colour of the mineral rich hot springs she wears a halo representing the sun, which as antlers upon it.  She holds a jug representative of the healing waters of the Spring and wears a pale blue gown and green cloak.

As each goddess is made by hand, to order, there may be some minor variations in details, including the size, which is around 4 inches.  Our Goddesses take time to sculpt, paint and varnish to which end we ask you to allow up to 5-6 working days for us to prepare your Goddess for delivery.
