Scatha
(Scathach) a great warrior Goddess whose name means "she who strikes fear", was also called "the shadowy one". She lived on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, and taught many of the legendary Celtic heroes all their skills, including battlefield magic. They traveled great distances to study with her and she instructed them in strategic moves as well as the martial arts. During their stay of a year and a day, she also taught them fierce battle cries and terrifying leaps and bounds, making them undefeatable in combat. She is described as Cuchulainn's teacher in the Táin Bó Cualgne. After the students finished learning, she sent them back to their people to do great deeds. Scatha's helmet is from a Celtic grave in Ciumesti, Romania, 3rd century BCE ; her torque is from Snettisham (Norfolk), England, mid 1st century BCE. She is standing on a hill overlooking the Callanish Stone Circle. The veiled Goddess behind her is Celtic, 1st century CE. The statue of the Goddess figure on the left is from Kerguilly en Dinéault, Finistère, France, 1st century BCE - 1st century CE. During the Iron Age, the Celts wore helmets with images of certain birds or animals on them to make their appearance more threatening; the goose on the helmet symbolizes the warrior because the goose is aggressive, alert, and an excellent guardian.
(Shadowed) Irish/Scottish. "Lady of Shadows", or, "of the Shadowy Isle". She is a warrior, with additional associations in smithcraft and oracular wisdom. She dwells in Albannach (Scotland), on (most tales agree) the Isle of Skye (Scaith), and is best known as the tutor of Cuchulainn in the arts of both love and war.

Shannon

Sheila-Na-Gig
The Goddess Displaying Her Parts. This Celtic archetype of the Great Mother appeared in folk and church art by at least 1080 AD, but undoubtedly is of much earlier origin. She may be identical with the war goddess Morrigan, consort to the Dagda. One of her images is found near the ancient goddess shrine of Avebury, where she symbolized fertility; displaying her sexual parts was believed to ward off evil. Carvings of Sheela-na-Gigs may have accompanied the seasonal harvest custom of weaving corn dollies which dates from North European antiquity. With the advent of Christianity she is portrayed (even on the outside of English churches) as a female demon to ward off evil.

Souconna

Sulis
