4) Bricta (‘the One who Exercises Magic?’)

The goddess Bricta or Brixta²¹¹⁰ is honoured with the god Luxovius in three inscriptions from Luxeuil-les-Bains (Haute-Saône), anciently called Luxovium, where warm springs (about 24°), heavily mineralised hot springs (40°), and ferruginous waters emanate.²¹¹¹ As excavations carried out on the site prove, the beneficial properties of the waters of Luxeuil-les-Bains were already known and exploited in Gallo-Roman times. They are nowadays renowned for the treatment of venous and gynaecological problems.²¹¹²
