March 8 is the International Day of Women and is placed under the sign of the goddess of the month of March — Minerva. What better way to celebrate the Divine feminine! 

Minerva derives her name from the Latin mens (mind), and so she has a special relation to teachers and artists, especially players of the flute. Tradition has it that she is a transformation of an earlier Etruscan and Sabine goddess taken over when Rome was established. She has also taken symbols and meanings from the Greek Athene, especially the owl as a sign of seeing in the dark, what is usually hidden or instinctive. 

Minerva is she who brings from the darkness into the light. She has come down through the centuries as the goddess of learning. In the US Library of Congress Great Hall, she holds a scroll on which are inscribed “Agriculture, Education, Commerce, Government, Economic” — all these are gifts from Wisdom’s store.

Minerva’s essential gift is understanding the relation between mind and matter. 

Minerva’s owl, creature of the night and symbol of the goddess’s dark and underworld power which see can see at night is also related to the reasonableness of day. It is this ability to bridge the dark and the light that is so frightening to men. 

We will be asking for guidance from Minerva to read our oracle cards.
