Gaul: Most Angry Spirit
Sandravdiga is a goddess known from a single inscription found at Groot-Zundert in the Netherlands. She would seem to be a native deity, and the name would seem to be Celtic rather than Germanic and can be interpreted as containing the reconstructed proto-Celtic lexical elements: *sani- (especially), *draugo- (spirit), *dīka- (angry) and the feminine ending -a, giving us: 'The Most Angry Spirit'; suggesting that she might have been a genius loci (spirit of place).
