85 „As the numerous water sanctuaries, votive offerings and anatomic ex-votos indicate, Gaulish
and British water-goddesses perform functions of healing, while Irish water-goddesses are related
to wisdom, poetry, clairvoyance and esoteric knowledge. The name of the goddess of the River
Marne, Matrona (,Mother'), indicates that the water-goddess was also envisaged as a mother
purveying fertility. Proto-historic ,coffm-pirogues' enclosing corpses of dead people, discovered
in several Gaulish rivers, notably the Marne, point to a funerary character. This proves that the
essence of the water-goddess was ambivalent. Having both a life-giving and funerary dimension,
she could heal and grow the crops, as well as accompany the dead in their voyage to the other-
world, probably bringing them to be reborn in the afterlife. Therefore, the water-goddess has
potent regenerative functions and represents the eternal cycle of life and renewal."
