Saitada, whose name means “Goddess of Grief,” was worshiped primarily in the Tyne Valley in England. An alternative interpretation of her name is “Goddess of the Throng.” She was not as widely worshiped as many of the other Celtic Goddesses, but in modern times her aspect as a comforter in a time of trouble has given her new popularity. In her aspect as Goddess of the Throng, she is a champion of the common people.
As a Moon Goddess, her sacred tree is the weeping willow, and animals associated with her include owls, ravens, and other psychopompic birds.
Invoke Saitada in times where comfort is needed after a loss. When Saitada (pronounced “SHY-tah-dah”) enters your life, expect a change on the horizon.
