TUONETAR (pronounced TWOAN-et-ar) is the Finnish Goddess of the underworld. She is the wife of Tuoni, God of the underworld, which is called Tuonela. Her appearance is that of a hag, and her touch could pull a mortal's soul from their body and send it to the underworld. Tuonetar is the mother by Tuoni of a number of other dark Gods and Goddesses, including Loviatar (Goddess of plagues), Kipu-Tytto (Goddess of illness), Kivutar (Goddess of disease), and Vammater (Goddess of pain). In one myth in the "Kalevala", the hero V"ain"am"oinen journeyed to the underworld, and Tuonetar greeted him with a stein of beer in which frogs and worms were swimming. She told him that he would not be allowed to leave the underworld and had him caught in an iron net. V"ain"am"oinen, however, was able to change shape, and he changed himself into a snake and escaped. Tuonetar's name means "queen of the dead."

BELLONA is the Roman Goddess of war and battle. She was worshipped by Roman soldiers and predates the war God Mars. When Mars did become part of the Roman pantheon (as the counterpart of the Greek Ares), he was said to be Bellona's husband or brother. Bellona is usually depicted with her war helmet, armed with a shield and a sword or spear. She had temples dedicated to her worship in Rome, near the temple of Apollo, and in Ostia Antica, which acted as a harbor for Rome. Roman soldiers sailing off to war would stop at her temple and ask Bellona to watch over them and see them safely home.
