Puzzle Description:

It's Arduinna, the Celtic goddess of the moon, hunting, and forests, seen riding side-saddle on her sacred animal, the boar. I know this is my second Celtic boar puzzle. Sorry, I guess I have a thing for boars!

You have to do edge logic on the left side. After that, the helper got it most of the way, and it's just a matter of line-by-line logic.

Awesome puzzle BG! Great picture and a nice challenge.
I'm glad that you posted the hint. It was just enough to keep me from being frustrated and not so much that it over simplified puzzle.

Thank you so much for the fun moon Goddess! ^v^

Thanks guys! I'm not very happy with the cape thing, but I had to put it in to get it solvable. And the white dots in the cape make the edge logic possible. This one took a lot of tweaking!

Once more excellent! I wonder about some forthcoming Cuchulainn, Nuada, or even some Math... Thanks again!

Very well done. Great image and a fun solve. Size was great as there was no need to keep moving the screen.

Better you have a thing for boars than bores, although then maybe I'd have a chance ...

The edge logic on the lefthand column is what saved me when I got stuck. Pretty straight forward solve otherwise.

For the longest time I thought this was going to be the side view of a marble bust of a goddess. My solve basically went from the bottom and left over toward the right. The legs and rear of the boar looked like they would be the shoulder, the cape and hair the hair, the arm and back of the dress the back of the head. What was throwing me off was the title is "Goddess" but the front of the dress looked like a beard ...

Once her head started to take shape it all made sense.

Challenging solve. Good image!
