Goddess of the Day

Hera
Goddess of Marriage

Hera was the wife of Zeus, she could bestow the gift of prophecy on anyone she pleased. Hera, who walks in golden sandals, is the Queen of Heaven, always a virgin, for she recovers her maidenhood every year by bathing in a spring called Canathus in Argolis. If handfasting or some type of commitment is the issue, Hera is the Goddess to seek. Just remember that she has a vindictive side.
