katjabach:

Phew! 3 days of work. I am definitely printing this one out for the altar 😀

It’s the Polan’s venusian goddess Lela/Lelja (and variations). The name comes from swaying, as in swaying a child on your arm, but also the swaying of lovers’ hips, of waves of waters, and dancing. It’s also associated with singing, including chanting (protective magic). And it’s got something to do with shimmering. Her symbols are the six pointed star of Venus (often atop a crescent moon), the colour red, red cows, ladybirds, cuckoos, the lime tree, the lilly (six petals – six pointed star, versus the traditional five/eight points), lilly of the valley flowers, her time of day is dawn and dusk (with the dew symbolizing fertility and the morning/evening star visible).
