Owls

They can represent her sons, or her aspects. I will agree that she is being pretty mysterious, which is a way of Goddesses that cover witchcraft.

Considering she appears as more of a virgin Goddess, I'd lean more toward aspects. She seems very innocent and sweet, like a kindergarten teacher almost. Someone who is patient and calm, imaginative as well. At the same time, though, I have a creeping suspicion that she's also some sort of warrior. Not out of ferocity or a yearning for blood-shed, but to keep peace and insure justice is fulfilled, if you get what I mean. In fact, her necklace sort of resembles a scale/balance if you look at it a certain way. Yes?

Meh, I'll stop bugging you and attempt to get to bottom of this confusion.
Perhaps I'll meditate further tonight.

With all that said, she may as well be Athena.

I read this entire topic today and After reading your last post Twine and seeing Ravencry's, I agree I'm getting the feeling this Goddess is Athena

Now see, that's who I started off thinking it was, but I just don't know....... I've always seen Athena as taller, darker haired, tanner and a rather authoritative presence. Not short, blonde, cute and freckly, if you know what I mean...

^^ That's basically exactly what she looked like. It's also a lot easier to see her in Valkyrie garb as opposed to Greek armor. I mean, I may be wrong, but I'm still pretty sure of the Norse thing... Call me stubborn and difficult, but it just fells more appropriate. XP

Perhaps Freya? She is a shapeshifter Goddess, and a Goddess of mystical knowledge, hence the owls. (Though she doesn't correspond with owls)

I found a picture of Freya, and it looks exactly like the one that you posted:

If you are seeing her and feeling that she is connected to the Norse then you are probably right, which leads me to Blodeuwedd again.

I was pretty sure it was Freyja to begin with, now that I had the instance with the necklace, I'm almost positive. Brisingamen {even though it's supposed to be made of amber}. So, I'll see what I can learn about her and again try to contact her, see where it takes me.

Thanks for allllllll the help Ravencry and Zili. ^^
Much appreciated!

the picture did remind me of freyja, perhaps the two owls and your goddess are a coincidence? Owl may be the form your spirit guide has taken, and Freyja has tried to reach you through the owl?

It's possible!
But the owl is the closest thing we have to any birds associated with her here, so maybe that's it? Or it could just be coincidence, like you said.

@Twine: Deities come to you in a way that you envision them. Technically speaking they don't have a 'real' form. We thought of them and they come to us in a way we identify with them the most.
Therefore, she could be a version of Athena that YOU personally feel is her.

Does this make sense?

Yes, it makes plenty of sense.
But that's what I'm saying. It doesn't feel like Athena, because while Athena has a sweet side, I see her strong and impending. This girl, and yes, she's more of a girl, is not in the slightest bit frightening. She's sort of like the sunshine, actually. Except the sun was setting behind her and it made her hair all gold and sparkly. Actually, now that I'm actually paying attention, behind her is a lush green field, I think. The sun's setting and she's wearing furs. Nothing fancy, wolf fur, maybe. It's whitish-gray.

Have you looked at any norse or slavic Goddesses?

Post by **Twine** » Thu Aug 12, 2010 12:05 pm

Yeah, Freya is basically who we all decided on.
She fits, all except for her sexcapades.
The girl I see is very innocent. A virgin, I would imagine.
