Candidus (Celtic spirit) explained

Candidus was a "candid spirit" that accompanied the healing god Borvo in Lusitanian and Celtic polytheism. This association is demonstrated in Nièvre at Entrains-sur-Nohain.[1] [2] He has been described as "a minor deity in Apollo’s train who calls to mind Apollo Virotutis ‘truth’ and Apollo's role as revealer of the truth through oracles".[3] [4]
