Greek Naiad Aigina Cover
AIGINA (pronounced AY-gih-na) is one of the Greek Naiades. The Naiades were generally thought to be daughters of an Okeanid mother (the 3000 daughters of Tethys and Okeanos, Goddesses of fresh water sources) and a Potamoi father (the 3000 sons of Tethys and Okeanos, Gods of the rivers); in Aigina's case, her father was Asopos, God of the River Asopos in Boeotia, but her mother Metope was another Naiad. Aigina happened to catch the eye of Zeus, who abducted her and took her to an island named Oinone. She had a son named Aiakos, and he became the king of the island, renaming it Aigina after his mother. Aigina had another son, Menoitios, by the mortal Aktor, and through her two sons she was related to two of the main characters in Homer's "Iliad"--Akhilleus (son of Peleus, son of Aiakos) and Patroklos (son of Menoitios). Aigina's name is also seen as AEGINA.

Meng Po Goddess Of Wine And The Afterworld Image
IN CHINESE MYTHOLOGY, "MENG PO" IS THE "GODDESS OF WINE AND THE AFTERWORLD." IT IS HER TASK TO STAND AT THE EXIT OF THE "AFTERWORLD" AND GIVES THE SOULS ABOUT TO BE REINCARNATED THE "BROTH OF OBLIVION", A WINE POTION THAT MAKES THEM FORGET EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO THEM IN THE PREVIOUS EXISTENCE, EXCEPT FOR PAIN. MENG PO" POTION IS MADE FROM HERBS COLLECTED FROM VARIOUS EARTHLY PONDS AND STREAMS. THE BREW INDUCES INSTANT AND PERMANENT AMNESIA...AND ALL MEMORY OF THEIR PAST LIVES IS LOST, AND THAT IS WHY PEOPLE COME INTO THIS WORLD WITH NO MEMORY OF ANYTHING FROM THE PREVIOUS LIVES AND ARE FASCINATED BY FAME, FORTUNE, AND SENTIMENTALITIES OF THIS MUNDANE WORLD.

IT IS A WINE-LIKE POTION WHICH HAS FIVE FLAVORS: SWEET, BITTER, ACRID, SALTY, AND SOUR. ANYONE WHO WANTS TO REINCARNATE HAS TO DRINK THIS POTION. FOR SOULS WHO REFUSE TO DRINK AND TRY TO RUN AWAY, A PAIR OF HOOKS WILL APPEAR IMMEDIATELY FROM BELOW TO HOLD THE FEET AND A SHARP BRASS TUBE WILL PIERCE THEIR THROAT AND FORCE THEM TO DRINK THE POTION. HAVING BEEN PURGED OF ALL PREVIOUS SINS AND KNOWLEDGE, THE DEAD SPIRIT IS SENT TO BE REBORN IN A NEW EARTHLY INCARNATION, AND THE CYCLE BEGINS AGAIN. OCCASIONALLY PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO AVOID DRINKING THE BREW; HENCE, WE HEAR TALES OF PAST LIFE MEMORIES SURFACING IN CHILDREN.

Goddess Ot

Goddess Ot Image
OT is the Mongolian Goddess of fire and the home. Traditionally, the Mongolian people lived in yurts which had a hearth at their center, and it was in this hearth that Ot resided, protecting the inhabitants of the home as long as they obeyed her customs. At each meal, an offering of oil or wine was made to Ot, increasing her fire. Several things would anger the Goddess and cause her to withdraw her favor from the family, such as putting something into the fire that would cause a foul smell as it burned and pointing a weapon at the fire. The worst transgression was pouring water on the fire, as this threatened to drive the Goddess from the home permanently. Ot's name, which means "fire," is also seen as UT.

Goddess Sekhmet Image
SEKHMET is the most important of the Egyptian lioness Goddesses. She has two distinct aspects to her personality-one dangerous and destructive, and the other protective and healing. Her name means "the female powerful one", and she is a daughter of the sun God Re. Sekhmet was said to breath fire and could also send plagues to the king's enemies. However, in her protective role, she had the power to ward off plagues and pestilence, gaining her the epithet "MISTRESS OF LIFE". Her priests participated in the magical side of medicine, offering prayers over the sick and performing rites to combat epidemics. Sekhmet is usually depicted as a lioness-headed woman, wearing a long wig with a solar disk on top of her head, symbolizing her relation to Re. Other epithets associated with her are "SMITER OF THE NUBIANS" (in her military role) and "MISTRESS OF RED LINEN" (her dress was usually shown as being colored red).
