I was once born out of love for Wisdom. My father is Heaven, my mother is Knowledge. For one reason or another, my father decided to take me out of my mother's womb and eat me. Then I lived in his head, growing... My father started to get heavy pains in his brain. A tumor? All the gods feared that the God of Heaven would be history soon. Two midwives, the goddesses Thalna and Thanr, knew what pains my father was suffering from and tried to help him: they had him sit down and started to press his chest and head, so as to push the pain maker out! Then they called Sethlans with his ax and he cut open his father's head... Out came I: free at last! A little, but full armed goddess, determined to fight for righteousness and to protect all who needed protection.... I am Menerva, "gifted with the knowledge", the Goddess of the Power of Wisdom, the protector of craftsmen/-women, of Cities, Heroes and Heroines, of new born children, the sick and healthy, the teachers and students, the Healer, the Knowing. I will never marry, still I know what it means to be a mother. As long as there is searching for knowledge and insight, the deeper meanings of life, the quest into the unknown, I'll be around. I am the holder of the lightning, who dwells in heaven. Those who live in injustice, fear me. I will slay them! Those who live in justice, love me. I will protect them. male.ceia.aiser.Menerva.
