Hretha
In Anglo-Saxon paganism, Rheda is a goddess connected with the month '"Rhedmonth"'. Rheda is attested solely by Bede in his 8th-century work De temporum ratione. While the name of the goddess appears in Bede's Latin as Rheda, it is reconstructed into Old English as *Hrēþe and is variously modernly anglicised as Rhetha or Hretha. Hrēþmōnaþ is one of three events that refer to deities in the Anglo-Saxon calendar—the other two being Ēostermōnaþ and Mōdraniht.
