Queen Nehelenia

Yeah I remeber in the anime when she turns into a old lady cause her beauty left.But she went back into the mirror so that she can stay young forever.

Actually I learned something interesting the other day...I don't remember which (might've been the Celts) early British religion it was, but one of them worshipped a goddess called Nehelennia!

For short, they called her Elen of the Ways, because she was the guardian of travelers; I thought that was really interesting, because in a way, all the mirrors surrounding her in SM are like pathways to different places...

I thought her name sounded like Nihil which means nothingness.

It's spelled Nehalennia. *Used that actually.*

Apparentally she was more than just the parton goddess of Travelers, but also she is the least known about. There are some that believe she has an association with the Nether World. Also, her image is often depicted with a basket of fruits on a bow of a ship with a dog at her side.

>> There's actually a record decitcated to the goddess.

Some times she's also refered to as Nehellenia or Nephrina.

There's also a mineral that bears the same name and a species of frogs.
