Themis - A Greek Goddess of Justice:
Themis and Dike were both Greek goddesses associated with Justice. The role of Themis was the embodiment of order. Sometimes she is called the mother of Dike. Themis was also a goddess of prophecy and of oaths. She is sometimes associated with the Earth goddess, her mother Gaia.

Family of Themis:
Themis was the daughter of Gaia and Ouranus, along with her brother titans, Cronus, Oceanus, Hyperion, Iapetus, Crius, and Coeus, and sisters, Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, and Mnemosyne, according to Hesiod. As the second wife of Zeus, Themis was mother to Horai (Seasons), Eirene (Peace), Eunomia (Good Order), Dike (Justice), the Moirai (Fates: Klotho, Lakhesis, and Atropos). Some say the Moirai were present at the marriage of Zeus and Themis. Themis is sometimes called the mother of Prometheus.

Goddess of Prophecy:
Themis was the first deity of prophecy and in charge of the Delphic oracle, until she gave it to Apollo.

Themis was the one who predicted to Zeus that if he married Thetis (the nymph mother of Achilles), his son would be greater than his father.

Heres another:

MAAT, Goddess of Order and Justice.
She offers balance to the seeker.


Maat's ostrich plume represents the delicate balance between order and chaos in the universe as well as in the human soul. The daughter of Ra, she administered law and justice. Pharaohs looked to her for guidance. Maat's energy will bring order out of chaos, helping you to feel balanced.
The Goddess Maat is the personification of all the elements of cosmic harmony as established by the Creator-God at the beginning of time-including truth, justice, law, world order and moral integrity. The seated image of Maat was held in pharaoh's hand like a doll and was presented as an offering to the Gods.
This meant that the king was the representative of divine order since Maat was seen as legitimizing their
authority to govern and to uphold the laws of the universe which she
embodied.

The origin may be Themis, a Greek mythological goddess. One of the Titans, pre-Hellenic nature deities born to Uranus and Ge, she remained and advised Zeus after his purge of the old pantheon. In depictions of her, she carries the scales of justice in one hand and a sword in the other, her eyes covered. She became an oracle at Delphi, and became known as a goddess of divine justice.

A daughter of Themis and Zeus, Dike, known as a goddess of justice but not divine justice, presided over the apportionment of things among mortals, the protection of individuals and the keeping of social and political order. She carried a sword without a scale of justice. At times Dike is said to be the same (or is she confused with?) Astraea. Astraea is also said to be a daughter of Themis and Zeus and is known as a goddess of justice. Also known as daughter of Eos and Astraeus 1, her head was crowned with ears of grain and for its measure carried a balance or scale. Astraea was the last of the immortals to leave earth after the Golden Age. She has also been called a goddess of purity and innocence. She became the constellation Virgo. Dike left earth when the Race of Bronze was born.

The Egyptians honored Maat, the daughter of the sun god, Ra. She also carried a sword but without a scale of justice.

Justitia, a Roman goddess of justice, wore a blindfold. She had been depicted with sword and scales, but was not always so.

Representations of the Lady of Justice in the Western tradition occur in many places and at many times. She sometimes wears a blindfold, more so in Europe, but more often she appears without one. She usually carries a sword and scales. Almost always draped in flowing robes, mature but not old, no longer commonly known as Themis, she symbolizes the fair and equal administration of the law, without corruption, avarice, prejudice, or favor.

Paganism is non-dogmatic. have confidence what you will. whether, the specific definition of paganism contains a polytheistic perception. somewhat than dividing your skill between 2 conflicting perception systems (ie. New Age and Pagan) you will possibly do properly to benefit one or the different. Wiccanism is an odd beast because it does tend to combination a brilliant number of perception systems into one way of working in direction of, and consequently has inherent inconsistencies. consequently, to pay interest your energies and grow to be a greater effectual practitioner, that's beneficial to benefit a particular branch of magic, including Celtic magick or Cabalah. you are going to be able to attempt looking up the Pagan equipment accompanied by using your ancestors in case you recognize sufficient approximately your organic originals. (for occasion, i'm Irish, so I prepare Celtic magick). Wiccanism is greater a brilliant classification than a solidified perception equipment. in this learn, you should prefer to invite for a manifestation of an unaspected god or goddess or a particular goddess, including Brigit (ask her that might assist you write a poem!). there is not any disrespect. who're you nervous approximately disrespecting. I assure the gods are not offended. i understand few Pagans who stick to a dogmatic line. that's a much greater worthwhile question to invite in case you're dropping skill than to invite in case you're being disrespectful. Than being mentioned, if Wicca "works" for you and you're chuffed, basically nervous bearing directly to the social conventions of spellwork, forget approximately approximately each thing I even have mentioned and proceed including your artwork, a chuffed magick being. In Paganism, that isn't the path you're taking, that's manifold and limitless, however the purpose and the form you attain alongside the way.

I always thought that was the "goddess" of the new world...Columbia (as in District of Columbia) She wasn't a real goddess in Greek or Roman mythology... she was just made up for the new world (America).
