Aurora Australis: The Roman Goddess Of Dawn

Many, many cultures associate the Moon with certain deities according to their traditions, relating the energy and influence of the Moon to the aspects of the deities. One lunar God was the Egyptian god of magic and wisdom, Thoth. Thoth was considered a lunar deity, that’s why he is often seen wearing a crescent on his head or with a head of an Ibis or baboon, both animals being considered sacred to him. This Egyptian God was a very important deity and he was known as the messenger of the Gods as well as the God of magick and wisdom.

At the very beginning of each and every person’s life, their fate has been decided by a larger and more powerful deity, or god, and the Romans believed that Goddess Fortuna had the power to predict, control, and alter anyone’s fortune and luck. In fact, the name Fortuna stems from the Latin word “fero” which means “to bring, receive, or win.” In articles that describe Fortuna, she is either blind or has wings and this symbolizes the wheel of luck that has its ups and downs which means everyone will encounter good luck and bad luck. Statues and physical or visual depictions show this wheel of fortune. This goddess was very popular and several people worshipped her. It has been stated that when she finally arrived in Rome, she felt at home and never intended to leave. Shortly thereafter, there were several temples in and around Rome so civilians could worship Fortuna.

Athena: The Heroic Goddess of Wisdom In Greek mythology, a hero is defined differently than in the modern world. In general, an ancient Greek hero is someone who was born into the “royal” family and has royal ancestors. Athena, the goddess of wisdom, weaving, crafts, and warfare was born into the Greek goddess hierarchy, with both an honorable father and mother. One can assume this lovely goddess was born into one of the highest ranks since her father was Zeus. Athena is a hero in Greek mythology because her creation gave her a noteworthy upbringing, she has many strengths, she uses those strengths to help both mortals and gods, and still has many cultural references in the modern world.

Even if certain Wiccans focus on specific gods from specific world customs, Wiccans might worship several gods and goddesses by several other names. Nearly everyone worship some figure of the Great Goddess and The Horned God. Such duo-spiritual forces are usually observed as not in opposition but symbolizing the balanced polarities. In some customs, dedication to the Goddess is stressed, while in others, the Goddess and God are viewed as balancing co-equals. The Goddess and God might be associated with specific things such as the Goddess representing the Earth and the God with Sun. Remember there are no rigid rules. While some customs worship the Goddess only, others see Spirituality as beyond human comprehension,

Sunspots are generated by strong and dense magnetic fields, and these magnetic fields are caused by flowing plasma that gets tangled and moves through the photosphere. [1] However, it is not actually sunspot activity that effects the Earth’s power grid and satellite communications, [2] but rather the solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that can be caused by sunspots that cause problems.

The solar wind containing these hot gases races toward the edges of the solar system, and smash in to the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere protects the earth by deflecting most of the solar wind around the planet. Trillions of these charged particles mange to get through and project from the North and South poles. Energy released in this fashion excites atoms of nitrogen and oxygen, which in turn emit pulses of colored light. These formations are called an aurora. The aurora borealis, which are visible in Alaska, are a result of this sort of space storm.

     Have you ever heard of a solar flare? A solar flare exists after a sunspot has existed for a long time and the magnetic lines of force usually become jumbled. As a result of this jumbling, magnetic energy is stored in the Corona (region of atmosphere above the chromosphere). The energy may be released in a spectacular discharge, which is a solar flare. A solar flare can be as wide as 367,000 miles and as high 500,000 miles out into space. A solar flare is nothing more than helium erupting from the sun like a volcano.
