Trebaruna

Trebaruna was the warrior Lusitanian goddess; deity of Battles and Death and one of the most important goddesses in the Lusitanian pantheon. Of various natures, Trebaruna was protector of heroes, in one hand, and the other protector of porperty, home and families. She is also a lunar and fate goddess, and was married with Brigus.

Trebaruna's cult was located in the cultural area of Gallaecia and Lusitania (in the territory of modern Galicia (Spain) and Portugal). Her name derives from the celtic "trebo" (home) and "runa" (secret, mystery).

Two small altars dedicated to this goddess were found in Portugal, one in Roman-Lusitanian Egitania (current Proença-a-Velha) and another in Lardosa. The Tavares Proença Regional Museum in Castelo Branco now contains the altar from Lardosa. It was located in an area where the people from a Castro settlement founded a Roman-Lusitanian villa. This altar used to hold a statue of the goddess which has since been lost. Nevertheless, it still preserves these inscriptions:TREBARONNE V(otum) S(Olvit) OCONUS OCONIS f(ilius). Which translate as: "Oconus, son of Oco, has fulfilled the vow to Trebaruna."

The Portuguese metal-band Moonspell has made a song called "Trebaruna" which is a celebration to the goddess.
