Fortuna

All people are aware of the limitless possibilities of their lives and ask sometimes for divine intervention...or good luck!

Have you knew that there is a Goddess who embodies Luck?

Let me introduce you Her. Tyche-Fortuna (Tyche (Greek) - Fortuna (Latin) ), Lady Luck.

Let's take a look at some interesting facts about this amazing goddess.

She is the daughter of one of the Titans, Ocean.

In fact, she was honored by the Greek empire of Alexander the Great in every major city.

In Roman times, Tyche becomes Fortuna, who is also portrayed as a magnificent and beautiful woman, often holding a wheel, a baby, or the horn of Amalthea - where all blessings come from.

Fortune is considered the most fickle of all goddesses, as she gives out her gifts blindly. Nevertheless, the Romans tried by all means to win her favor and built more temples and statues for her than to other goddesses. She was the object of private and public worship. Fortune can bless everyone - men, women, girls and children.

Each goddess has her own symbols that can tell a lot about her.

Lady Fortune has a horn, a baby, and a wheel.

A symbol of a baby tells us, that the chances of Fortune's blessing may seem small, but if you will give them some time, they will grow significantly.

Horn of Amalthea.

Amalthea, the adoptive mother of Zeus - the king of the gods, lady Capricorn.As a baby, Zeus was so strong that he accidentally broke one of her horns. This was the Horn of Wealth, a divine symbol that later passed on to Fortuna.

Wheel of Fortune.

Fatum as it is - no one knows in advance where the wheel will stop and what the goddess can do to a human, who asked her for a bless.

Pray to her, when you are in need for divine protection, some luck and good days in your life. Still, you must remember, that Fortune is a very unpredictable goddess and no one can tell you, if she helps you or not.
