Ah, yes, Belenus...a reference to the Celtic god of fire, sun, purification, science, fertility...well, you get the picture. In Celtic mythology, he's the god of a lot. In our own mythology, Belenus is the reason Brighid is not named after a god...because the only other god of the sun in Celtic mythology was a goddess! Yeah, most of us prefer to use the masculine to name our unknown gender characters because it is so much more neutral than the feminine, but we don't always get a choice as to the gender of the most appropriate name...
That being said, on to Belenus! This is an energetic and high-strung individual flecked with gold spots. Wild and free, nobody has met him or her, and therefore nobody knows Belenus's real name. We'll figure it out sooner or later! |
