Associated with the Moon, ANDRASTE, also known as Andrasta or Andred,
according to the Roman historian Dio Cassius, was an Icenic war goddess
invoked by Boudica in her fight against the Roman occupation of Britain
in AD 61. She may be the same as Andate, described by the same Roman
source as "their name for Victory". The hare is sacred to Andraste. The
hare's release is a technique of divination, with an augury drawn from
the direction in which it runs. This is similar to Roman methods of
divination which ascribe meaning to the directions in which birds fly,
with the left side being auspicious and the right side inauspicious.
