Arnemetia

Arnemetia

Arnemetia was a goddess in In Romano-British religion. Her shrine was at Aquae Arnemetiae ("waters of Arnemetia"), which is now Buxton in Derbyshire, England. [Miranda J. Green. "Dictionary of Celtic Myth and Legend." Thames and Hudson Ltd, London, 1997.]

Arnemetia's name contains the same Celtic root as "nemeton," meaning "sacred grove", so her name is interpreted as "she who dwells over against the sacred grove".
