From the Oak: Let’s hear it for the God!
Many are those that focus on female divinities, leaving male divinities in the shadows if they get mentioned at all. This is a shame. Here I will share my thoughts, stories and prayers on male divinities. Currently focusing on divinities placed in an atheist "graveyard".
Lady of the Forest
Today I continue to honor the gods maligned by the atheists' graveyard. Medeina is deity number 30 from that list and is a Lithuanian forest goddess. I could not find out much about her so a short prayer is my offering.
Lady of the Forest
Huntress due a portion
of every successful hunt
Animal Mother, Wild Child
Unmarried, She-Wolf
Precious is the hare to you
For it leads hunters astray
Protector of the forest
You renew its bounty
In return for the bull sacrifice
Called by the Greeks, Artemis
by the Romans, Diana
But here, here you are Medeina
I honor you gracious Lady
By which ever name
You wish to be called.
Hail Lady of the Forest.
