#personal cosmology

Woden (and names) is certainly a psychopomp figure as is Karnonos. He and Woden both have a role in helping us use the riches of the Underworld and to get there in general.

I believe that Woden ect, spends more time going back and forth whereas Karnonos, who definitely CAN go back in forth, has a big job in taking care of souls/cthonic entities and keeping that realm safe- he may stay in that realm more often.

Karnonos takes the cthonic mystery and disorder and makes friends with it, allies with it. He doesn't destroy but placates and reasons with it. He helps us to be unafraid and to understand his realm and death and the afterlife.

Woden ect, can takes these things and deliver them to other realms quickly and safely, including us. But he doesn't just use the cthonic wealth and passages for us: he uses them to inspire warriors in his warband.

Where does Nantosuelta fit in? I think she's a generative force within the Underworld: she helps to pry it out of wherever, Karnonos watches and protects the whole realm and the things within, Woden can help it to get to us in a way that we can understand better.

Lugus

Visucius (Belgic)

Cissionius (Belgic)

In various times and places

And I believe wholeheartedly that Frigg can also be called Rosmerta in a Gaulish context

Woden/Frigg and Lugus(and other names)/Rosmerta are all associated with the warband, prophecy, death, ect. What sets the Gaulish deity names apart is an aspect of commerce and prosperity that I don't often see in the Germanic deities

I firmly and deeply believe that Nantosuelta has to do with death and the riches and abundance and waters of the Underworld which she gives to us, and we have a place within her valley if we so choose.

Karnonos, the more I learn, is less a strictly liminal god and more a god of the cthonic Otherworld/Underworld. The riches if the place both spiritual and material and the guide and protector of souls.
