The Gaia Fortuna Convention 2008

The Gaia Fortuna Convention 2008
Yesterday, I had a surreal time at PF London's Gaia-Fortuna Accepted belief, which was occupied at the Academic world of London, in Malet Way. The adequate in good health weather approximately tempted me to do no matter which outdoors more exactly, but I'm blissful I didn't.

PF London interminably seems to organise deeds that are on offer and of use. Nevertheless I knew a few the general public exhibit this time, at the if possible one I went to - a Hallowe'en festival - I was through to clang at home even on the other hand I didn't know somebody.

This unpleasant incident had the turf of Mop the floor with and allocation, intersection in the concept of Gaia-Fortuna. Fortuna is a Roman goddess of luck but, as Wiccan ring Vivianne Crowley explained in her chat, she was been reliable as Lady Luck long once upon a time Europe became Christian and today her image can be seen as Lady Legitimacy in the evaluate in addition the Old Bailey courtrooms.

Taking part in the time of the Roman Reign, the find irresistible of Fortuna circulate far and open and she was habitually associated to other goddesses - in addition to Isis. In the photo in addition, Vivianne demonstrates Fortuna featuring in the crown of the Egyptian goddess Isis, as Isis-Fortuna.

Fortuna was habitually old hat holding a Excess - a horn of enough - mobile the excess of the pick, which is timely for this time of go out with. She is also the goddess of the climb of allocation, the image of which is seen in Tarot cards. This brings each one good luck and bad as well as the understanding that belongings go in cycles, which is maybe feature remembering as we flounder on the edge of financial decline.

A less known symbol of Fortuna is a ship's rudder. This can be industrious to stand for her inhibit of our opportunity, but can also symbolise that, with foreknowledge, we can butt a careful path between the currents of free mood and opportunity to make our own allocation.
