Part II :
For the Celtic Gauls, Catubodua  was the warrior goddess whose name means crow (bodua) of combat (catu) Celtic : Katu-bodwā.
In the transport of the soul from one world to another Birds of Prey ” played a main role. 
The importance of the raven, and birds of prey in general, in Celtic culture and religion is archaeologically confirmed by their frequent appearance on artifacts and their coins. of 500 Celtic brooches with figurative decoration known today, from Bulgaria to Spain, more than half represent birds.  In the Balkans, birds of prey also appear on artefacts such as as the Celtic helmet from Ciumesti (Romania) , similar examples of which are depicted on the Gundestrup cauldron, produced by the Scordisci in northwestern Bulgaria.
Representations of birds of prey  are also found on Celtic chariot fittings from Mezek and on Celtic sacrificial daggers from the Balkans. The removal of flesh before burial is clearly attested in their sanctuaries but the enormous deficit of burials, [especially at the end of La Têne] is partly explained by the exposure of the corpses, with the consequent destruction of the major part of the skeleton.  This ritual of excarnation was a true self-sacrifice, because the enemy who had taken the life of the warrior, like the bird of prey who had devoured him, did not was only the hand of divinity.
