verbicideYesterday, Jeff had the Fleetwood Mac song Rhiannon in his head. I told him that I didn't know it, and he said, "Yes you do." So I harped at him to sing it and he finally did. And yes, I did know it.
So we got on some random discussion of Stevie Nicks and her love for Wicca. Jeff said, "There's probably a Wikipedia entry for it."
So today, I looked, and of course there is and I gleefully sent him the link.
He wrote back:
"...the Romano-British form of this Proto-Celtic theonym is likely to have been Rigantona."
Ha! I think they have ignored the obvious--"Rhiannon" is most likely simply a knock-off of the well known Roman/Italian goddess "Rigatoni" (goddess of hollow pasta).
