Today's Goddess puts my total number of names up to 2500, one-quarter of the way to my goal! Also, you may have noticed that my shopping cart is gone--it blew up last week and I'm hoping it will be back up and running (new and improved!) by the middle of next week.

CHALCHIUHTLICUE (pronounced chal-chee-OOT-lee-kway) is the Aztec Goddess of all running water, including rain. She also ruled over fertility, as water was known to bring life to plants. She is the wife of the rain God Tlaloc, and rules over Tlalocan at his side. Tlalocan is the fourth layer of the heavens, the place to which those who died from phenomena associated with water, such as drowning, went in the afterlife. One day, Chalchiuhtlicue, looking at the evils in the world, began to cry--her tears streamed across the land as a giant flood to cleanse the world. She created a rainbow bridge to save those who gained her favor.

Chalchiuhtlicue is usually depicted wearing a jade necklace, a crown of feathers, and with a skirt decorated with water lilies. Her name means "she who wears a jade skirt," and she was also known as MATLALCUEITL by the Tlaxcala, which means "she who wears a green skirt".

The Grim Reaper

He rose to prominence during the plagues that killed most of the European population. Which only happened after the humans burned witches and cats I might add. He usually appears as a robed skeleton carrying a scythe, sickle or hourglass. He often wears robes, most usually black. However as different plagues would spread different versions almost brothers or servants of the grim reaper would appear.

It was thought he was both a symbolic warning on the shortness of life, and an actual being. Although the church was not fond of the idea, many artists would make some sort of painting or art in an effort to appease death. Many dances, folk tales, and offerings would grow around him to win his favor.

HINA-LAU-LIMU-KALA is the Hawaiian Goddess of seaweed. She is one of the many forms of the Great Goddess Hina, and her name means "Hina of the kala seaweed." She lived in the sea with her husband, Kane-piliko'a (Kane of the coral beds). Limu kala seaweed was a key ingredient in a ceremony used to purify fishermen before they set out to sea. They would ask Hina-lau-limu-kala to watch over them and guarantee their safe return.

Heracles Son Of The Gods

Heracles Son Of The Gods Cover
Heracles is the son of the god Zeus and Alcmene. His gift was fabulous strength; he strangled two serpents in his cradle, and killed a lion before manhood. Heracles' main antagonist was Hera. She eventually drove him mad, during which time he killed his own children and his brother's. He was so grieved upon recovery that he exiled himself and consulted the oracle of Apollo. The oracle told him to perform twelve labors

These Twelve Labors were:

 - Kill the carnivorous birds of Stymphalis.
- Capture the wild bull of Crete.
- Kill the nine-headed Hydra. Two new heads would grow on the Hydra from each fresh wound, and one was immortal. Heracles burned the eight and put the immortal one under a rock.
- Capture the Ceryneian Hind. After running after it for many months, he finally trapped it.
- Capture the oxen of Geryon.
- Kill the lion of Nemea. He strangled it without further ado.
- Kill the wild boar of Erymanthus. A wild battle, but pretty straightforward: Heracles won.
- Clean the Augean Stables of King Augeas. He succeeded only by diverting a nearby river to wash the muck away.
- Capture the man-eating mares of Diomedes.
- Obtain the girdle of Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons.
- Bring Cerberus, the three-headed dog of Hades, to the surface world. Heracles was now free to return to Thebes and marry Deianira. Later the centaur Nessus tried to abduct Deianira; Heracles shot him with a poisoned arrow. The dying Nessus told Deianira to keep his blood, as it would always preserve Heracles' love. When Deianira later feared she was being supplanted by Iole, Deianira sent Heracles a garment soaked in Nessus' blood. It poisoned Heracles, who was taken to Olympus and endowed with immortality after death.
- Take the golden apples from the garden of the Hesperides, which was always guarded by the dragon Ladon. Heracles tricked Atlas into getting he apples by offering to hold the Earth for Atlas. When he returned with the apples, Heracles asked him to take the Earth for a moment so he could go get a pillow for his aching shoulders. Atlas did so, and Heracles left with his apples.

other names: Herakles, Hercules.
