#Sirona is in fact a Gaulish #Goddess associated with thermal baths and healing. Her name means something like "Divine Star," and was also spelled Đirona, Θirona, or Serona.
She was often worshipped alongside #Apollo ~ #Grannos, Solar Gods Who were also of healing and thermal baths.
Her iconography was represented by Roman artists as #Hygeia, a Greek Goddess of health and hygiene.

I normally would not stoop to mentioning such a disreputable person as J.K. #Rowling, but unfortunately she seems to be invoking the names of #Gaulish Gods now, as part of her fanatical bigot campaign:
#HogwartsLegacy has reportedly introduced a trans woman character named #Sirona Ryan.

Pondering incorporating #Sirona into my rain garden/seasonal water feature/mossy nook.
