Cerridwen- symbolizes luck, death (ironic huh) fertility, regeneration, INSPIRATION, THE ARTS, POETRY.
She may be able to help you.
Rhiannon- symbolizes poetic incantations.
Or Pele- A hawaiian goddess of fire. She can destroy or create. She causes volcanic eruptions, fires, and earthquakes, but is the most beautiful girl you'll ever see (according to legend- she comes to visit earth sometimes, just to amuse herself by meeting the people.)
I hope this helps a little. But be careful how you use it..

Well, Athena was the goddess of wisdom and strength... so there's also Hera, queen of the gods and the goddess of marriage. Demeter was the goddess of the harvest; Artemis, goddes of the hunt and newborn creatures; Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty; Hesita, goddess of the hearth.
There are also minor goddesses (the ones above were the ones in the main 12)- Eos, goddess of dawn; Hecate, goddess of wilderness and childbirth (later the goddess of sorcery); Nyx, goddess of the night; Eris, goddess of discord... etc.
If those aren't what you're looking for, you could also try the names of one of the 9 Muses.
