BEIWE IS A SCANDINAVIAN SUN GODDESS, AND THE SAMI PEOPLE OF FINLAND WORSHIPPED HER AS THE GREAT GODDESS OF THE SPRING AND MENTAL CLARITY. SHE IS THE POWER OF THE SUN AND FERTILITY; IT IS BEIWE WHO ENABLES THE PLANTS TO GROW, AND, HENCE, ENSURES THE SURVIVAL OF HUMANITY.
HER SACRED ANIMAL IS THE REINDEER, AND ACCORDING TO THE FOLKLORE, IT BELIEVED THAT SHE TRAVELS THROUGH THE SKY EVERY SPRING ACCOMPANIED BY HER DAUGHTER, BEIWE-NEIDA. THEY RIDE IN AN ENCLOSURE MADE OF REINDEER ANTLERS, BRINGING THE GREENNESS OF DEVELOPING LIFE TO THE ARCTIC SPRING AND THE LIGHT TO THE LANDSCAPES AFTER THE HARSH NORTHERN WINTERS WHICH ARE DOMINATED BY THE SNOW.
BEIWE CHASES AWAY THE WINTER AND RESTORES THE SANITY OF THOSE WHO HAVE LOST THEMSELVES IN THE DARKNESS OF THE SEASON FOR SHE IS ONE OF THE FEW DEITIES WHO IS INVOKED FOR THE RELIEF OF MENTAL ILLNESS, AND AS SUCH, IS A PATRON OF THOSE OF US WHO WORK WITH PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS. ALTHOUGH I REALLY HAVEN'T DONE MUCH STUDY ON IT AND CANNOT SAY FOR SURE, I CAN IMAGINE THERE IS A HIGH INCIDENCE OF DEPRESSION IN NORTHERN SCANDINAVIA SINCE THERE IS AN ABSENCE OF LIGHT FOR UP TO 22 HOURS PER DAY. MYSELF, ALTHOUGH NOT THRUST INTO TOTAL DARKNESS FOR SUCH A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, I TEND TO SUFFER FROM SADD IN THE MONTHS OF FEBRUARY AND MARCH. IF ANYONE KNOWS THE RATES OF DEPRESSION IN THE NORTHERN AREAS, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW.
SO, WE CAN SEE THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY A REALITY TO THE FEELING OF BEING MORE OPTIMISTIC WHEN THERE IS A RAY OF SUNSHINE; PERHAPS ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE TRADITIONAL LIGHTING OF BONFIRES IN WINTER IS TO CREATE WARMTH AND LIGHT.

CIHUACOATL (pronounced see-wah-co-AH-tl) is the Aztec Goddess of earth and fertility. She is the patron of midwives and took charge of the souls of women who died in childbirth. These souls were called "cihuateteo" after the Goddess, and they were said to haunt crossroads where they waited to steal children. Cihuacoatl helped Quetzalcoatl in creating humanity by mixing the ground bones of earlier peoples with the blood of the old Gods. Her name means "snake woman" and is also seen as CIHUHCOATL or CIUCOATL.

FLOWER WOMAN is the Yaqui Goddess of prophecy. A Yaqui myth tells of the time just before the Spaniards came to North America. A tribe called the Surem lived in the Sonoran desert. One day, a tree began to shake and make strange noises, but no one could understand what it said. A young woman came forward and told the people that the tree was telling them that the world was about to change, that a new people would come and bring new beliefs and new ways. Some of the people did not like Flower Woman's message, and chose to leave the tribe and live underground. The rest of the people stayed and became the Yaqui, who merged the newcomers' ways with their own.
