Meaning & History
In Bohemian mythology, Teta is the second oldest daughter of the Bohemian ruler Krok (or Crocco). Her sisters are Kazi and Libuše. While Libuše is a soothsayer, Teta is guiding people to worship supernatural beings and worshiping natural forces. Fire worship, rock or water, not to the taste of the emerging Christian church.
Needless to say, it was a typical manifestation of the Celtic pagan religion that keep with us for the common people until the late Middle Ages.
Teta's name it is not associated with the word foundation Teutates - one of the major Celtic gods. The name "Teutates" is derived from the stem teutā-, meaning "people" or "tribe", cognate with the Germanic *þeudō.
