Bormo (Borvo)

In Gallic Celtic mythology, Borvo (Bormo or Boramus) is a healing god whose theonym means "bubbling water". It is known by inscriptions dating from the Gallo-Roman era and a number of toponyms:La Bourboule, Bourbonne-les-Bains in France, or Burtscheid, Worms, in Germany, to name but a few examples. The number of these toponyms proves the spread and the importance of the worship dedicated to this divinity of the thermal springs. He is considered an equivalence of the Greek god Apollo. His consort is Damona whose name means "Great Cow", (also called Bormona), which is not unrelated to Boand of the Tuatha Dé Danann of Irish mythology.
