CERRIDWEN \nHer symbol was a white sow. Death, fertility, regeneration, inspiration, magic, astrology, herbs, science, poetry, spells, knowledge.\n\nCerridwen is the goddess of dark prophetic powers. She is the keeper of the cauldron of the underworld, in which inspiration and divine knowledge are brewed. She is often equated with the famous Greek crone, Hecate, and to the Irish Badb. She is also sometimes related to the Greek Muses, only in a more violent and dark form.\n\nI like your perception of Virgin Mary as a goddes... have you read the book "The Secret Life of Bees" ?  I think.. you will find this book inwhich the Virgin Mary/Goddess is a primary theme an enchanting read... a bit depressing.. but you will really enjoy it... give it a try

There were 12 tribes of Israel.  I believe the woman stands for the nation of Israel and that the baby is Jesus because Jesus was born an Israelite (or Jew... same thing).  I am not sure what the meaning of the sun and the moon are though.  One thing that is interesting are that the Sun, Moon, and Stars are the 3 main things we see in the heavens above.  There may be some connection.  Don't study too hard.  God gives revelation by prayer, and he may choose to not show you right away to keep you from getting prideful if you would know the answer.

Do you mean "Artemis"? She is the ancient Greek goddess of the moon, hunting, wild animals, women and children, childbirth, chastity and youth. When the Romans adopted her as their own goddess, they renamed her "Dian" or "Diana". Is that what you mean by a "synonym"? She is also sometimes known as "Phoebe".\n\nCheck out the link below...

The fact that SHE! (in manga, in anime, a "he") carries the "burden of the curse" is probably right, but in the managa she claimed that she was that she was the god(oops, GODDESS)  that shared an unbreakable bond with all the other people with the zodiac curse.  She was kinda crazy...\n\nNear the end of the manga (I read up to ch. 126 or 128), she actually realizes her own fault for what she did and even wants to befriend Tohru (kinda, or was about to)... But Tohru fell off the cliff... She changed after Tohru talked to her though, she even destroyed the room that was for imprisoning Kyo.  \n\n>< Hope that helped!

Iris.\n\nIris was the goddess of the rainbow in Greek mythology. According to Hesiod's Theogony, Iris was the daughter of an Oceanid named Electra and the Titan Thaumas: \n"Thaumas took as his wife Electra, daughter of Okeanos,\nwhose stream is deep, and she bore swift Iris..."\n(Hesiod, Theogony, 265-266) \n\nIn addition, this passage in the Theogony goes on to state that Iris was the sister of the Harpies (Hesiod describes the Harpies as two "lovely-haired" creatures with "fast wings"). \n\nIn Greek myth, the rainbow goddess primarily acted as the messenger of the Olympian gods and goddesses. Iris often served as Hera's personal messenger in many ancient sources - indeed, it is interesting to note that the famous Parthenon frieze shows Iris in close proximity to Hera. However, the poet Homer tended to portray Iris as the messenger of Zeus in his pair of epics called the Iliad and the Odyssey. In this respect, Iris shared her role as messenger of the gods with the Olympian Hermes. \n\nScholars have suggested that Iris, as the personification of the rainbow, represented an example of a brief union of earth and sky. The qualities of this natural phenomenon in turn influenced her role in myth as the goddess who delivered messages between the heavens and earth.

The creator of all things was either Re, Amun, Ptah, Khnum or Aten, depending on which version of the myth was currently in use. The heavens were represented by Hathor, Bat, and Horus. Osiris was an earth god as was Ptah. The annual flooding of the Nile was Hapi. Storms, evil and confusion were Seth. His counterpart was Ma'at, who represented balance, justice and truth. The moon was Thoth and Khonsu. Re, the sun god, took on many forms, and transcended most of the borders that contained the other gods. The actual shape of the sun, the disk (or, aten), was deified into another god, Aten. \n\n \n\nCertain gods were worshipped in different areas. Local cities or villages, known as nomes, often had unique gods that were known only to that region. On occasion, these gods attained country -wide recognition and became the myths and legends that were passed on from century to century. Below is a listing of the main gods and their primary place of worship. \n\nAmaunet - A female counterpart to Amon and one of the primordial gods of the Hermopolitian Ogdoad (group of eight gods). She was also worshipped at Thebes along with Amon and Mut. \n\nAmon - Usually associated with the wind, or things hidden, and was also of the Hermopolitian Ogdoad. At Thebes he became Amon-Re, king of the gods. He was part of the Theban Triad, along with Mut and Khonsu. \n\nAntaios - He was originally a double god, "the two falcons", that was later joined to create one, probably that of Horus. \n\nAnuket - Worshipped at Elephantine, she was associated with the gazelle. \n\nApis - Seen as the bull with a solar disk between its horns, Apis was associated with Osiris and Ptah. \n\nAton - Also known as Aten, he was worshipped at Tell 'Amarna. \n\nAtum - A primordial god that was represented in the form of a human and a serpent. He was the supreme god in the Heliopolitan Ennead (group of nine gods) and formed with Re to create Re-Atum. \n\nHathor - The goddess of love, dance and alcohol was depicted as a cow. At Thebes she was also the goddess of the dead. She was worshipped at Dendera as the consort of Horus and Edfu, and was associated with Isis at Byblos. \n\nHorus - The earliest royal god was the shape of a falcon, with the sun and moon as his eyes. The sky-god was the ruler of the day. The many forms of Horus are; Re-Harakhti, Harsiesis, Haroeris, Harendotes, Khenti-irti, Khentekhtay (the crocodile-god), and Harmakhis, which is Horus on the horizons, in which the Sphinx of Giza is considered to be his aspect. \n\nIsis - The mother of Horus and sister and consort of Osiris was worshipped at Philae. Associated with Astarte, Hathor, Nut and Sothis, she was later worshipped over the entire Roman Empire. \n\nKhnum - Resembling a human with a rams head, he was worshipped in Hypselis, Esna, Antinoe and Elephantine. \n\nKhonsu - the moon god was the son of Amon and Mut. The main temple at Karnak is dedicated to him. \n\nMin - God of fertility coalesced with Amon and Horus.

Clotho\n\nClotho, a goddess from Greek mythology, is the youngest of the three Fates, but one of the oldest goddesses in Greek mythology. She is a daughter of Zeus and Themis. Each fate has a certain job, whether it be measuring thread, spinning it on a spindle, or cutting the thread at the right length. Clotho is the spinner, and she spins the thread of human life with her distaff. The length of the string will determine how long a certain person's life will be. She is also known to be the daughter of Night, to indicate the darkness and obscurity of human destiny. No one knows for sure how much power Clotho and her sisters have, however; they often disobey the ruler, Zeus, and other gods. For some reason, the gods seem to obey them, whether because the fates do possess greater power, or as some sources suggest, their existence is part of the order of the Universe, and this the gods cannot disturb.

Aphrodite isn't the Goddess of Venus or the moon. She's the Greek Goddess of Love, Beauty and Fertility. The confusion comes from the fact that the Greeks and Romans had an almost identical pantheon of Gods and Goddesses. The Goddess that was known to the Greeks as Aphrodite was Venus to the Romans (the planet was named after the Goddess, not the other way around). \n\nSome people confuse Aphrodite with Artemis. Artemis was the Greek Goddess of the hunt and was often associated with the moon (sensible as one hunts best at night under a full moon).\n\nAt any rate the Greeks and Romans did not believe that their Gods and Goddesses ruled over any planets but simply associated certain planets with them.

She is a Godess\n\nAdd: Sorry it was late and I went to bed, Otherwise known as the Triple Godess she is a symbol of  life and rebirth. There is nothing evil about her (just for clarification not that anyone is accusing) \nMaiden, mother and wise woman. \n\nFor the Celts (but not limited to Celts)the Goddess reigns supreme - she gives birth to all life, nurtures life on earth, and welcomes the soul to the next life. She's a blessed trinity, representing the three aspects of womankind- maiden, mother, crone (old lady).She is also associated with the phases of the moon- the moon-waxing crescent, full moon and waning crescent. Neopagans believe that this goddess is the personification of all women everywhere and also claim historical antecedent for their beliefs, holding that in Old Europe, in the Aegean world, and in the most ancient Near East, the Triple Goddess preceded the coming of nomadic speakers of Indo-European languages. In South Arabia the moon-god Hubal was accompanied by the three goddesses, Uzza the youngest, al-Lat ("the Goddess") and Manat the crone, the three cranes.\n\nWiccans often work with the Goddess in her triple form but may sometimes look at a particular goddess as Maiden, Mother and Crone. An example of this would be the Goddess Hecate, who was originally depicted as three maidens when in triplicate or as an old woman by herself in later times. Another example is the Goddess Morrigan.\n\n \nEmbraced by many different parts of the world. The Vikings had the Norns (Urdu/Verdandi/Skuld), the Romans had the Fortunae (Concordia/Salus/Pax), the Druids had Diana Triformis, the Greeks had the Moirae, Graeae, Horae, etc.\n\nMaiden\n\nThe Maiden aspect represents enchantment, inception, expansion, the female principle, the promise of new beginnings, youth, excitement, and a carefree  aura. She is innocent in some ways, but also recognizes of her sexuality. Maiden goddesses include: Anatha, Brigid, Nimue, Kore, Persephone, Gerd, Skuld,Caer, Blodeuwedd. Her traditional color is white.\n\nMother\n\nThe Mother is ripeness, fertility, fulfillment, stability, and power. Mother is ripe, full-breasted, at the peak of her womanly powers. She is the one who tenderly rocks the baby, but she is also the lioness who hunts to feed her offspring and will fight to the death to protect them. Mother goddesses include: Aa, Ambika, Anahita, Asherah, Astarte, Ceres, Coatlicue, Danu, Demeter, Hathor, Ishtar, Isis, Lakshmi, Luonnotar, Nintu, Sheng-Mu, Verdandi. Her traditional color is red.\n\nCrone\n\nThe Crone is wisdom, retrenchment, repose, and compassion. She is old age, experience, accumulated wisdom and death. She is the gateway to Death, and the guide to Rebirth. Crone goddesses include: Annis, Baba Yaga, Cailleach, Greine, Hel, Maman Brigitte, Oya, Sedna, Takotsi, Toci, Urd. Her color is black.\n\nGoddesses who embody the triple aspect within themselves include: Brigid (Ireland/Celtic), Carmenta or Carmentis (Roman), Hekate or Hecate (Greek/Anatolia), Helice (Greek), Kali (India), the Morrigan (Ireland/Celtic). \n \nHope this helps.\n\n~Peace
