Aericura  A Celtic-Germanic Goddess, also known as Aericura and Herecura, her male consort Aericurus was recorded at Corbridge in Northumberland England, also had a divine partnership with Dis Pater, who was an underworld God linked with the Mother Goddess, a protector of humans in the afterlife, associated with death and regeneration, as well as fertility and prosperity. A stone at Cannstatt depicts Aericura as a Mother-Goddess seated on a throne, with a basket of fruit in her lap. Dis Pater was the alternative name for Dis, the God of the underworld in Southern Germany and the Balkans. Julius Caesar wrote that the Gauls considered themselves to be descendants of Dis Pater.
