Athena is a Greek goddess known as both Pallas and Athene. In ancient Greek mythology, they often associated her with both warfare and wisdom as well as handicraft, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, strategic warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, and skill.

She also shares some things in common with Minerva from Roman mythology. Many refer to her as a protector or a patron of major cities such as Athens.

She is known most specifically for her strategic skill in warfare and is often portrayed as companion of heroes and is the patron goddess of heroic endeavour.

Athena was born from ZEUS after he experienced an enormous headache and she sprang fully grown and in armour FROM HIS FOREHEAD.

She has no mother but one of the most commonly cited stories is that Zeus lay with METIS, the goddess of crafty thought and wisdom, and then swallowed her whole as he feared she will give birth to a child more powerful than him because of a prophecy – but she had already conceived.

Etymology

Scholars believe that her name comes from the city of Athens. Legend says that she was the leader of Athenai. This was a group of women who followed and worshiped her.

There is some debate as to whether the citizens named Athens in honor of her or if she received her name after the city already existed. Many believe that she earned her name as she lived and led in Athens.

As early as 407 BC, PLATO mentioned her name and claimed that others followed her due to her wisdom and knowledge. He further claimed that her name came from the Greek word Athenoa, which can mean moon and earth or air.

Unlike other GREEK GODDESSES and GODS, there isn’t as much known about the early life of Athena. Early tablets called the Linear B tablets mention her name and refer to her as Lady of Athens. Some translate phrases in the Linear A tablets to mean Athena of Zeus as she was the daughter of Zeus.

There are also multiple fresco pieces that show her as a warrior. In one, she holds a shield in her hand and with two women nearby.

The other shows a woman standing in front of multiple rows of women. Some believe that this piece depicts a different or early version of the warrior goddess. Historians also found some early artwork that shows Athena as an owl, which might explain why she is occasionally called a bird goddess.

Patronage

Though not a patron saint, Athena is a goddess. Known for many years as a war goddess, she helped prepare men for the fighting ahead and provided them with the necessary tools and supplies.

She was unlike other GODS AND GODDESSES from ancient Greek tales who thought anything was worth a fight. Goddess Athena believed that people should only go to war as a last resort and only if they fought for a noble or just cause.

In later years, scholars associated her with both HESTIA and ARTEMIS. They also referred to her as Parthenos, which means virgin. Not only did she never marry, but she never took a lover either. Many today believe that the name of the Parthenon comes from the term used to describe her virginity. Citizens chose this name to honor the sexual modesty she had. They believed that her virginity paved the way for other women.

Outside of Athens

Though usually associated with Athens, Athena had followers in other cities. Known as panhellenic cults, these groups consisted of women who followed traditional rites. Most of her followers were young women who believed in socializing with others both in their hometowns and other cities.

While some used these events in the hopes of meeting a suitable man for marriage and citizenship, others simply wanted to make friends and connect with others. Her cults established several sanctuaries in her honor.

One of those sanctuaries is the Spartan Acropolis, which has an epithet dedicated to her. Originally made from bronze to show her connection to metal workers, locals later replaced it. The acropolis also has large bronze and terracotta bells.

Athena Polias is another dedicated to her, which Pytheos of Priene designed. ALEXANDER THE GREAT was on hand to dedicate the temple. An inscription that bears his words is now in the archives of the British Museum. This museum and others also have many sculptures of the goddess.

Other Epithets

As one of the most famous Greek goddess figures, Athena has multiple epithets such as Polias, which shows that she was the protector of Athens. She earned the Ergane name to reflect her role as the helper of artisans. When Orestes faced charges of killing his mother, Athena served as the judge who oversaw his case.

After finding him not guilty, she became known as Areia. There were others who simply referred to her as the goddess. Other epithets used in ancient Greece for her include:

-Hippa, which means equestrian. This refers to the bridle and her similar inventions.

-Aethyia is the name given to her by followers who lived in Megara

-Hygieia, which means health as she was a healthy woman.

Many of the descriptions of Athena come from Homer. He described her as a beautiful woman with bright or gleaming eyes.

Later translations changed this to mean her eyes were gray or blue and green. Historians believe that she likely earned her association with owls due to his description as it showed that she had the same type of face.

Others believe this association came from the artwork that shows her holding an owl in her hand. Not only did the owl become the Athenian mascot, but it also became associated with knowledge.

Athena appeared in the Odyssey as well as Homeric Hymns. Hesiod mentioned her in THEOGONY where he gave her an epithet that meant born in Triton. A popular myth claims that after Zeus abandoned her, Athena wandered the world and found TRITON.

Triton took her in as his own child and raised her with Pallas, his biological daughter. This led to some questioning whether who her father was, but most now claim that she was the DAUGHTER OF ZEUS and the adopted daughter of Triton.

Early myths also use the terms third born and triple born to describe her. This can refer to the fact that she was the third child Zeus had.

Though she did not have a mother, the terms may refer to the idea that it took both her father and Metis as well as herself for the goddess to come into the world. A later legend claimed that the terms came from the idea that three necessary things vital to human life all came from the goddess.

Birth of Athena

There are many legends surrounding her birth, but most claim that she was the third child born to Zeus and that she had no mother. The most common legend claims that she came into the world as an adult and sprang from his head.

Another story claims that the Greek god worked with the goddess of counsel, a woman named Metis. She was pregnant with Athena when Zeus swallowed the women, which led to her coming from him.

Almost all stories and legends say that she was his favorite child and that he loved her more than his other children. The Iliad states that she was his favorite because she was the only one he birthed.

Yet another version of her birth claims that Zeus and Metis had a relationship that led to marriage. When he learned she was pregnant, the god worried that he would lose his position to her due to an old prophecy.

This prophecy claimed that any children born to the women would be smarter and stronger than their father. He swallowed her not knowing that she was already pregnant with his child.

Two of Wands – Focus will and energy.

A man holds a crystal-topped wand in each hand, his arms stretched upward towards two Air dragons, one hovering on each side of him above. The man stands in a grassy, flower studded meadow with mountains behind him. Near his feat are small sacred stones craved with Celtic spirals. These spiral designs are repeated in a pattern on his vest. The two wands. or scepters, symbolize the man’s ability and willpower to harness both positive and negative energies to make changes in his life. This is essential, as both types of energy are needed for balance and manifestation. The two hovering dragons are another emblem of the male-female, positive-negative energies. The spirals in both the rocks and his clothing represent the constant moving, inexhaustible energies of the Universe. He has found his way through a series of spiritual gateways (the mountains) to the peaceful meadow of creativity (the three stones).

Divinatory Meaning: Focus your will and energy to accomplish your desires. Help with realization of a dream may come from a distance. A new endeavor requires courage and planning for the future.

This rune indicates a more difficult path where things are not so easy.

Huath/Uathe

H is for Huath, or Uatha, and is symbolic of the Hawthorn tree. This prickly-thorned tree is associated with cleansing, protection and defense. Tie a thorn with a red ribbon and use it as a protective amulet in your home, or place a bundle of thorns under a baby’s crib to keep bad energy away. Because the Hawthorn typically blooms around Beltane, it is also strongly connected with fertility, masculine energy, and fire.

In folklore, the Hawthorn is associated with the land of the Fae. Thomas the Rhymer met the Faerie Queen under a Hawthorn tree and ended up in the Faerie realm for seven years. Despite its connection with female and goddess-centered pre-Christian belief, it’s considered unlucky to bring Hawthorn into your home. This may stem from the fact that some species of Hawthorn give off a particularly unpleasant –almost corpse-like–scent after they’ve been cut. No one wants their home to smell like death.

In Glastonbury, England, there’s a famous Hawthorn tree known as the Holy Thorn. The tree that stands there today is supposed to be a descendant of one that stood on Glastonbury Tor two thousand years ago, when Joseph of Arimathea brought the Grail to England from the Holy Land. When Joseph thrust his staff into the ground, it turned into a Hawthorn tree.

Hexagram Twenty/20

Name: Kuan.

Keyphrase: Observation.

Formed By The Trigrams: Wind over Earth.

 

General: Remaining alert to all that affects you and those around you will help you to understand your role in the world.

Love: This could be a time when you are feeling isolated. Make the effort to go out into the community.

Business: Refamiliarize yourself with the needs of your customers and clients. Go out into the community and meet with them.

Personal: Travel is a good way to combat any feelings of isolation.

 

Overview: Ku reminds you that although it is always wise to watch out for problems it is possible to become somewhat detached from reality by doing so. When concentrated on to the exclusion of all else there is a danger of the spirit becoming undernourished. Perception may become distorted and dangers go unnoticed. Isolation (meditative or otherwise) should always be balanced by traveling out into the community. Assessing the world both from afar and close up will give you an accurate assessment. If this advice is not followed you will only see a part of the overall picture.

Numerology

The 6 is considered the most harmonious of all single-digit numbers in numerology.

The Numerology Meaning of the Number 6: THE CARETAKER
The most important attribute of the 6 is its loving, caring nature. Aptly nicknamed the motherhood/fatherhood number, the 6 is all about sacrifice, healing, protecting, and teaching others.

No family or community can function without the attention of the 6 – it is the glue that keeps a family and community together.

Creating an environment of peace and harmony is always at the forefront.
Home, family, and friends are top priorities. People with a 6 in their core numbers often focus on the young, the old, and those less fortunate.

The 6 is sympathetic, favors the underdog, and has a keen sense of what is fair and just. Perceiving injustice, the 6 will sacrifice immense time and effort to set things straight. Highly responsible, the 6 can be counted on to show up and do more than their fair share of the work. People with a 6 can be demanding, but they will work in the background when needed, without an expectation of reward.

The 6 is graceful, warm, and has a good sense of humor.
They are well respected in the workplace due to their sense of duty and responsibility – but also because they are genuinely well-liked. Many 6’s can be found in teaching, healing, counseling, construction, the legal field, and law enforcement.

On the negative side, the 6 can be jealous and small-minded, often focusing on small details while ignoring the bigger picture (often to their own detriment).
Not always the best judge of character, the 6 has been known to sacrifice for a person or cause not worth the price.

At times, the 6 can become too involved in the lives of those held dear, to the point where concern becomes intrusive and meddling. On the other hand, the 6 – ever sacrificing – can become a doormat to be abused and trampled on. The 6 is idealistic, trusting, and easy to take advantage of.

The 6 can be conventional, and must be wary of adopting the opinions of others instead of using their own mind.
They can also be smug and arrogant, especially toward authority figures and institutions. Sometimes annoyingly self-righteous, the 6 can become an intolerant zealot. A disproportional number of people with OCD have the 6 prominent in their charts and can suffer from anxiety and other phobias.

The 6, while loving, caring, and full of sympathy for others, can be self-centered and egotistical if people at the receiving end don’t show the gratitude expected. Typically, however, those fortunate enough to receive the attention of the 6 genuinely appreciate and cherish them in return.

Numerology views no number as without weaknesses and faults; that said, the 6 remains the most harmonious and stable among them. Perhaps for that reason, when the 6 (occasionally) falls into discord, it can become the most destructive and dangerous of all numbers. Beware of a cynical or angry 6, who can become a merciless wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Celtic Tree Month – Rowan: January 21 – February 17

Source: tree2mydoor.com

Ogham Letter: Luis (L)

Symbolic Meaning: Courage, Protection, Connection

Ruling Planet: The Sun

Ruling Elements: Fire

Season: Spring & Autumn

Corresponding Star Sign: Aquarius / Pisces

The second lunar month is ruled by that of the Rowan Tree. Another tree associated with a powerful, feminine connection, the small, deciduous rowan is praised for its beauty and hardiness. A strong symbol of courage, protection and connection.

The rowan tree can take root almost anywhere it wants but prefers to grow and thrive in greater heights giving it the name of the ‘Lady of the Mountain’. Even though it looks delicate, up here it will thrive in harsh conditions and always come out stronger on the other side.

The Rowan is deeply rooted in psyche and philosophy. It is thought to open the mind, improve psychic powers and inspire those who come into contact with it.

The tree has a positive presence and its protective abilities are used to keep evil spirits at bay. Branches of the rowan were hung around doors to keep those inside safe from wrongdoings.

The Celts thought that the rowan berries possessed magical powers. The bright red berries are a sign of protection. Red being the most protective colour. They are a great source of vitamin C and were used to treat scurvy.

Rowan Tree Zodiac

People born under the Rowan Tree are quietly influential and aloof. They are idealists and individuals, often feeling misunderstood. They have the natural ability to transform a situation making those around feel comfortable but don’t be fooled by their calm, collected demeanour as inside they are burning bright with a passion for change. They’re diplomatic and great listeners, always respecting others beliefs making them great leaders. It is the philosophical sign in the Celtic zodiac.

Rowan signs pair well with Ivy and Hawthorn.

The Rowan Moon is associated with Brighid, the Celtic goddess of hearth and home. Honored on February 1, at Imbolc, Brighid is a fire goddess who offers protection to mothers and families, as well as watching over the hearthfires. This is a good time of year to perform initiations (or, if you’re not part of a group, do a self-dedication). Known by the Celts as Luis (pronounced loush), the Rowan is associated with astral travel, personal power, and success. A charm carved into a bit of a Rowan twig will protect the wearer from harm. The Norsemen were known to have used Rowan branches as rune staves of protection. In some countries, Rowan is planted in graveyards to prevent the dead from lingering around too long.

All Signs

This week we have a Full Moon in Leo on Thursday. This Full Moon will be a strong energy and we will feel it. As happens every month, our problems will seem to intensify as the Full Moon approaches, then almost magically, after the Full Moon peaks, these same problems will diminish or even disappear. Please remember this if you feel tension with someone at the beginning of the week. These are temporary annoyances. Don’t get your belly in a rash. Above all: remember your objective, which is that you want to be happy. Hope is the feeling you have that the feeling you have isn’t permanent.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a popular week for you! You’ll enjoy seeing friends and having an increased involvement with groups and organizations. You will also make a great impression on bosses, parents and important people. Quite likely, someone will ask for your advice about how to make something look better, regardless of what you do for a living. It’s good to know that people will listen to you this week. Take note that mild angst dealing with friends and groups will build up at the beginning of the week before Thursday’s Full Moon. However, after that, relations with everyone will be warmer and happier. Finances look good! Some will have a flirtation with a boss or someone older.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

In some ways, this is a public week because the Sun is at the top of your chart, casting you in a flattering spotlight, which means people notice you and they admire you! However, by contrast, the Moon will be travelling along the bottom of your chart, which means you’ll be more inclined to stay at home, enjoy time with siblings and relatives plus socialize with close friends and your kids. Thursday’s Full Moon might create tension with parents and bosses. You will be faced with the challenge of dealing with the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career and your public life. Something has to give. Following that, enjoy a social weekend when life is more relaxed.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

There’s no question that you want some adventure this week. Of course, you’re always curious. But this is more, it’s stronger. You feel restless. You quite literally need a change of scenery! However, don’t push the envelope because some tension will build up before Thursday’s Full Moon, which could be an accident-prone time for you. Of course, an accident doesn’t have to happen, but you could be distracted. Be aware of this. Avoid arguments about politics, religion and social issues. Disputes about shared property and finances might also occur. Fortunately, gifts and goodies can come your way! By the weekend, you’re happy to hunker down at home and enjoy good times with friends and family.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Some of you call yourselves a Moonchild because you know that the Moon is your ruler. This is true. This is also why you generally feel each Full Moon more than most people. For example, perhaps it affects your sleep patterns? Very likely, you will feel the Full Moon on Thursday, probably through disputes or disagreements about shared property, your belongings, shared responsibilities or how to divide or share expenses. (These are important issues for you because you are never casual about money.) In addition to this, Mars is opposite your sign now, which makes relations with close friends and partners a tad challenging. You might feel annoyed with someone. This is mostly small stuff. After the Full Moon, the end of the week and the weekend will be lovely and romantic.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Tread carefully at the beginning of this week because some people around you might be grumpy. Possibly even you are grumpy. (Is it time to send out for dark chocolate?) What’s important to know is that the only Full Moon in your sign all year will occur on Thursday. You might feel this even several days before Thursday. It will bring issues with close friends and partners to a head. Medieval knights used to “throw down the gauntlet”, which meant to throw their armoured glove at the foot of their opponent to challenge them to a duel. Don’t ruin your week by being upset with someone. Instead, use the energy of Mars to get stuff done because you can be productive! Oh yeah.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a productive week for you because you’re pumped for action! You want to get things done and you want to do them efficiently, which is very much your style. One of the reasons you want to do this is you also have plans to socialize! The arts, sports events, social outings and entertaining diversions, especially with your kids, will appeal to you, which means you have to work smart in order to have free time to play! However, the Full Moon on Thursday means that the beginning of the week might have a few challenges, especially to your health and your job. Allow extra time for everything so that you have wiggle room for the unexpected. Get as much done ahead of time as possible.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are looking for some serious playtime this week – no question. You want to be free to enjoy vacations, social diversions, entertaining times with friends, especially your kids, and anything to do with the arts and sports. Nevertheless, the Full Moon on Thursday will create a bit of tension earlier in the week. Be gracious. Be patient with others knowing that by the weekend, social occasions will be delightful and enjoyable for everyone. This means you have to have skilful means to get through a few speed bumps earlier in the week, which with your charm and diplomacy – will be very easy. Meanwhile, redecorate and restore order to your home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

In astrology there is something called Fixed Signs. They are: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. Generally, a Full Moon in any of those signs is more dramatic and more noticeable for everyone, especially those signs! This week on Thursday, there will be Full Moon, which means the Sun will be in Aquarius directly opposite the Moon in Leo. You will feel this! For you, it will manifest as a challenge to keep your home scene happy, at the same time as meeting the demands of a boss or someone in your external world that affects your career or your public reputation. Be tactful at the beginning of the week as this energy begins. After it’s over, you will have a lighthearted, busy, fun-loving weekend!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be careful. Because you enjoy the outdoors, you should be aware that this week has accident-prone qualities, which will build up until Thursday’s Full Moon. These accidents could be physical as well as verbal — and guess who likes to “tell it like it is.” Fear not! Things will go well if you’re aware and observant. Take a beat and think before you act or speak. Don’t do anything impulsively because this could have unwanted consequences. Meanwhile, you have great moneymaking ideas this week. You can also attract money to you, which is a good thing because you’re spending it! Ka-ching!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Three planets are in your sign right now making you charming, diplomatic, talkative, active and confident! (Great time to shop for wardrobe items because you like what you see in the mirror.) The energy during the beginning of this week will build up before the Full Moon on Thursday, which will activate both your Money Houses. This means you might have squabbles or challenges dealing with how to balance your interests versus the interests of someone else, especially in terms of property, shared costs, shared responsibilities, earnings and your own cash flow. This could also reflect a challenge that is based on a difference in values that you have with someone else. You can handle this.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will certainly feel the energy this week because on Thursday, the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year will take place. Many people will feel this strong energy; however, you might feel challenged dealing with close friends, partners and spouses. Things that have been unexpressed or bubbling beneath the surface, especially elements of discontent, could come to the surface for you (and someone else) to deal with. It’s cards-on-the-table time! This might be surprising for one of you because hidden resentments might be smouldering in the background. Let these feelings come out in the open. Give them some air. Be reasonable and hear both sides of the question. This is step number one.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This will be an interesting week for you because for some signs, especially Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius, the Full Moon on Thursday will be eventful. Those signs will feel energy building up to that day, and then dissipating afterwards. In all likelihood, you will probably feel this particular Full Moon much less. Nevertheless, this energy could impact your job, your health or something to do with a pet. Issues in these areas might need your attention, especially if there is something that needs to be resolved. Meanwhile, meetings with friends and groups will generate enjoyable, competitive and fun times! Appreciate the people you love.

Happy Birthday to Those Born Under the Sun Sign of Aquarius

Regular Daily Posts Will Return Soon

I’ve been out of my antidepressant for 4 days thanks to a mix up either by my doctor’s office or drug store I use. Plus a family member I was very close to has decided and I quote “that Witchcraft is bad because it make you feel you are god like…” and “You are a dangerous, proud person.” And has cut me out of her life. The reasons behind this are not that important except that I was trying to help her with sending strength and comfort as she is going through a very rough time with her sister and son being very sick. Thankfully the last I heard they were both starting to recover. As usual someone feels they can judge my lifestyle as bad because I’m a witch. Anyway my mind is not in a good place as soon as I can get it back into a good one I’ll be back. I don’t want my negativity with myself and life at the moment to effect anyone else. Please enjoy some of the posts already on WOTC until my return. Thank you for your understanding and support while I get myself under control again! Blessed be WOTC family and friends.

Oir

Epiphany, realization, peak, lightning flash, elucidation

Tree: Spindle (Euonymus spp.)

Letter: Th

Oir signifies the realization something is at its peak. It is a few of insight and understanding; it is the “bolt of lightning” like Prometheus’s fire that enables human beings to evolve. Lifting the veil of ignorance can be painful and seeing the truth does not always feel like a gift. The possession of knowledge is a complex burden to carry: it is too complicated to qualify as “good” or bad”. Nevertheless, some epiphanies can be life-changers. They can grant us the ability to make good decisions and liberate us from cycles we no longer wish to participate in.

Believers in reincarnation speculate the reason we cannot remember our past lives whenever we want is because all of that information would fry our little human brains. The same is true of clairvoyance: if we could see all of the non-corporeal activity around us, it would likely send us straight into the asylum. A little fire is good; burning the house down or freezing to death for lack of a pack of matches is not good. Seeking knowledge is great; seeking to know it all at the expense of one’s sanity and personal hygiene never works out. Running away from the life of the mind ends badly in equal measure. As usual, this Ogham implies a balance should be struck.

Hexagram Thirty – Two (32)

Hêng / Durability

Arousing Thunder and penetrating Wind.
Close companions in any storm:
The Superior Person possesses a resiliency and durability that lets him remain firmly and faithfully on course.
Such constancy deserves success.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Endurance is the key to success in this situation.
However, durability is not synonymous with stone-like rigidity.
True resilience requires a flexibility that allows adaptation to any adverse condition, while still remaining true to the core.
Can you maintain your integrity under any circumstance?
Can you influence the situation without giving opposing forces anything to resist?
Then you will endure to reach your goal.

One

Among the nine single-digit numbers, the 1 holds a special place in numerology.

The Numerology Meaning of the Number 1: THE PRIMAL FORCE

From a spiritual perspective, the 1 is the number of creation – the primal force from which all other numbers spring forth. Some say once you truly understand the place and function of this elemental number, enlightenment will be yours.

This statement doesn’t apply to a Numerologist’s perspective alone, but perhaps it’s a good place to start since the personality of the number 1 aligns nicely with its elevated spiritual symbolism.

The 1 is a doer, a powerful force that produces results.

The 1 is aggressive – a necessary trait for creating, and not allowing anything to limit its potential. The 1 is the spearhead, always in the forefront directing and leading others.

The shape of this number reflects its meaning; the 1 walks upright with pride and purpose – strong, determined, and unwavering with a specific goal in mind. The 1 is capable of turning ideas into reality – pushing obstacles aside or simply drilling right through them.

The 1 tends to have a simple, straightforward view of life, heedless of its many complexities.

An individual with the dynamic 1 trusts their ability to separate right from wrong, doesn’t waste time on abstract ideas, and rarely follows a path that isn’t in line with their result-oriented goal. The 1 is no preacher, no philosopher, spiritual explorer, nor dreamer – and certainly not an idealist. They are pragmatic, ruthless conquerors, and warriors extraordinaire. The 1 is individualistic and independent to a fault. They will attempt to force their viewpoint on you but have no desire to hear yours.

The 1 can be confrontational, jealous, and exceedingly stubborn, but also courageous and willing to try anything new (with promise) even at great risk. They have a sense of honor and responsibility that demands respect and are the first to defend injustice and hypocrisy.

Befriend a 1 and you have a friend for life.

Fortunately, the 1 has a great capacity for humor, often self-depreciating, so you can poke fun at your friend and not worry about hurt feelings. But don’t cater to them to win love or friendship or you will lose their respect. Stand up to a 1 and you may lose the fight, but you’ll gain admiration. Working for a 1 you will be pushed to the limit, abused at all hours, and incapable of living up to unreasonable expectations. But you will also become the best you can be.

When in trouble, you want a friend with a strong 1 on your side, and you won’t find a braver partner or a more dedicated protector. But, if the 1 is your enemy, you could be crushed without mercy. And be forewarned, the number 1 is the most difficult of all lovers, demanding, jealous, confrontational, and impatient.

If you have a 1 in your core numbers, your happiness and sense of satisfaction will come from your work more than any other source.

2,700-year-old temple with altar overflowing with jewel-studded offerings unearthed on Greek island

2,700-year-old temple with altar overflowing with jewel-studded offerings unearthed on Greek island

Archaeologists in Greece have discovered a 2,700-year-old temple that houses a horseshoe-shaped altar overflowing with offerings.

Constructed of bricks, the temple is 100 feet (30 meters) long and is located next to the Temple of Amarysia Artemis, a sanctuary dedicated to the Greek goddess Artemis, which researchers found in 2017 on the island of Evia, according to a translated statement from Greece’s Ministry of Culture.

During excavations in 2023, archaeologists found the second temple.

Related: 2,800-year-old figurines unearthed at Greek temple may be offerings to Poseidon

“One of the peculiarities of this temple is the significant number of structures found inside it,” the researchers wrote on Jan. 9 in a translated Facebook post detailing their finding.

Those structures included several hearths located in the temple’s nave, including the ash-caked altar stacked with offerings such as pottery; vases; Corinthian alabaster, or the carved mineral gypsum; gold and silver jewelry studded with coral and amber; amulets; and bronze and iron fittings. The altar also contained several pieces of charred bone.

Some of the pottery pieces predate the newfound temple and were fired during the late eighth century B.C., leading researchers to suspect that the altar may have once resided outside the temple and was later moved indoors.

In the sixth century B.C., brick partitions were placed at the sanctuary’s heart for added support, leading researchers to think that the temple was “partially destroyed” by a fire, according to the statement.

Beneath the temple, archaeologists found several dry stone walls from a different building that once stood at the site, along with several bronze figurines shaped like bulls and a ram. They also unearthed remnants of buildings from the eighth and ninth centuries B.C. next to the first temple, as well as a fortification system dating to the more recent early Copper Age, or roughly 4000 to 3500 B.C.

Ruis

Regret, pride, shame, embarrassment, learning from experience, resolution

Tree: Elder (Sambucus spp.)

Letter: R

Shame isn’t all bad and does not deserve a uniformly awful reputation. Without shame and the fear of being shamed, every human child would be demonically bratty. Shame is a limit that informs us to keep our own ego in check. It is often about considering others. Having shame about one’s own past behavior is motivation to avoid shameful behaviors such as cheating and stealing.

Shame is an emotion that demands confrontation. All too often, people run away from what shames them, attempt to excuse themselves from wrongful or immoral behavior because they’re too cowardly to face what they have done or to admit their responsibility in causing their own misfortunes or the misfortune of others. Ruis indicates a willingness to face one’s own shame and to do with shame what it was meant for, and that is to use shame of the past to build oneself into a better person for the present and future. Ashamed of something you did? How can you make yourself into the type of person who would never even think of doing something like that? Overcome being the type of person who would engage in the shameful behavior and you become the master of it; you won’t have the remotest chance of repeating such a mistake. Did you become embarrassed because you did something you now understand to be greedy? Then learn to balance thriftiness with generosity. Adjust to the circumstance rather than overreacting to it. Are you ashamed about cheating on a boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse? Become a person who would never cheat on your boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse regardless of conditions, which could mean an assortment of outcomes: sticking to a resolution of no cheating and staying together, admitting one’s sexual preferences and going with the flow, changing the person you are with, or being single for a long time.

Because humans tend to remember negative experiences more easily than positive ones, it’s important when you draw Ruis to acknowledge the things you are not ashamed of about yourself. For every bad or shameful thing you’ve done, remember there are a thousand shameful things you avoided. Maybe it is time to appreciate the places you could have gone horribly wrong and did not.
