Question

Lady Boducia, who was she, any wicca backgroud? Ties to Avalon?

Answer 1

As stated by others Boadicea was the Queen of the Iceni (Eceni), a "horse tribe" "who inhabited an area of Britain corresponding roughly to the modern-day county of Norfolk between the 1st century BC and 1st century AD".

If you are interested in Avalon though, can I suggest a book called The Keys to Avalon, by Steve Blake and Scott Lloyd. Although unfortunately it is often located in the new age section, it is a brilliant book on the History of Wales and goes into the myths surrounding King Arthur.

Answer 2

You know Avalon wasn't ever a real place, right?

...and you know that the religion I've followed for over 20 years, Wicca, has only existed since the middle of the twentieth century, right?

Answer 3

you might enjoy watching a documentary dvd on Boadicea which is titled The Warrior Queen.

Answer 4

Boudicca was Queen of the Iceni. The story  of her rebellion has come to us through the writings Tactitus who was the historian given the Job of accurately describing the roman conquest of Britain.

Her Husband the king dies in his will her left half of the kingdom to Rome and the other half to Boudicca and his daughters. As roman law didn't recognize a womans right to own property they took the lot.  Boudicca protested against this. The romans were offended that a women would dare question there authority. So they had her raped and beaten. when she still wouldn't relinquish her right to the land and kept petitioning then for what had been bequeathed to her by her husband . They publicly raped and and then murdered her daughters.  

This event incited the general citizenry to riot.  they burnt 3 towns to the ground and where then slaughtered by the army that was returning from over throwing the Druids on the Isle of Iona.  

We have very liitle knowledge of what the beliefs and practices of the Celtic Britain were. everything we think we know about it is just a reconstruction based the fragmentary pieces that have been left to us  from Roman and early church sources.

Answer 5

The Iceni were a British tribe which entered into a voluntary alliance with the Rome and served as administrators of the Roman Empire for the civitas in the region now known as Norfolk.

Boadicea (d. 60ce) was the daughter of Prasutagus a Roman client king, of the Iceni, who in deference to established protocol didn't allow his authority to revert back to Rome on his death. His authority passed to procurator Catus Decianus.

Boadicea wasn't happy with loosing her status, fabricated the idea of a British resistance and lead thousands of innocent Britons to their death on her personal campaign against her former masters.

Answer 6

Boudica was the queen of the Iceni tribe in England in the 1st century AD, and led them into battle against the Romans.  Since Wicca was only invented in the 1950s, she has nothing to do with that.  Avalon is something to do with King Arthur, which is a legend, whereas Boudica is an actual historical figure.

Answer 7

No ties to Wicca.

Wicca wasn't created until circa 1950 A.D.
