Nehalennia a beautiful Frisian goddess of Northern trade as depicted by Andrew Whyte.She is not attested in any Anglo-Saxon sources, but it is very likely she was worshipped by the English too. 

Her cult is attested in the form of dozens of votive images dating to the second and third centuries AD, mainly from the Netherlands. She seems to have been a goddess of maritime trade from the Netherlands to Britain and Scandinavia. 

Like the Matres, her cult was very Romanised. There is some dispute over whether she was Celtic or Germanic but the name seems to be Latinised Low German.She is often depicted with a boat or holding an oar. In some images she is seated, accompanied by a dog, and carrying a basket of apples or baked loaves suggesting she may be a regional variant of Erce or some such Earth-Mother. In other images, she is shown with two other goddesses, just like the Matres or Matronae. A sea-god sometimes appears on the sides of her altar or separately, carrying a dolphin and armed with a trident like the Greek Poseidon.

 What we are seeing is a highly syncretic cult of a native goddess which was formalised under Roman influence where it was centred in the Netherlands prior to the migration of Frisians from that region to Britain with the Anglo-Saxon invasion. It is almost inconceivable that the Frisian migrants did not continue to worship her in England particularly since they already would have associated her with British trade.

Legography, un reportero gráfico en miniatura

El fotógrafo inglés Andrew Whyte ha creado una serie de fotografías con un compañero muy especial: un muñeco de Lego, que ha hecho las veces de reportero gráfico para el proyecto 365 Días. Aunque el pequeño reportero lleva una cámara de Lego, Andrew toma todas estas fotografías con un iPhone. El muñeco toma fotos de atardeceres, amaneceres, paisajes, ciudades a las que viaja....¡Y aventuras a las que se enfrenta!
