Bricta

In Gallo-Roman religion, Bricta or Brixta was a Gaulish goddess who was a consort of Luxovius, god of the waters of Luxeuil-les-Bains (in antiquity, Luxovium). Nicholson (1999) has suggested however that if "Bricta is a title incorporating Bríg, it may actually be a title assigned to Sirona rather than a separate goddess".

Inscriptions

Bricta is recorded in the following inscriptions from Luxeuil-les-Bains :

(AE 1951, 00231; CIL 13, 05426)

Etymology

This Gaulish theonym is derived from the word brixtom or brixta meaning a curse. The word also appears on the inscription of Chamalières. (Delamarre pp. 76–77 with references and comparative etymology)

A Place In Time

by: Bracket

Another weary day
Has left me with a beautiful addiction
No work and all day play
Leaves me feeling happy
When the day is done
I'll suffer just like everyone
And I'll watch as my life starts collecting dust
And when my friends are all dropping like flies
I'll just go to another place in time
Another weary day
Has left me with a beautiful addiction
No work and all day play
Leaves me feeling happy
When the day is done
I'll suffer just like everyone
And I'll laugh as my life starts collecting dust
And when my friends are all dropping like flies
I'll just go to another place in time
Another place in time
Another place in time
I'll be the next
To die of sex
And desolation
I can't accept
The loneliness
