Her Story
The ancient Roman Goddess Fortuna has been a very popular Goddess since at least 640 B.C.E.
Many temples have been dedicated to Goddess Fortuna and she takes on different roles depending on the type of assistance requested by the petitioner.
Some of these roles are represented in different names as shown under the traditional Dates on the Celebration page.
Many other roles are represented by numerous names to which celebration dates have not been attributed.
These roles include Fortuna Privata, Goddess Fortuna's aspect in our personal lives, Fortuna Salutaris, who may hear our prayers for good health, and Fortuna-Venus who embodies pure love.
We believe these aspects of Goddess Fortuna may be petitioned privately in our homes, at any time, when the need or desire to pray arrives naturally.
Goddess Fortuna has been popularized in the Tarot Major Arcana Wheel of Fortune Card and is the original "Lady Luck".
While some NeoPagans believe Goddess Fortuna represents riches, wealth or, perhaps, gambling, her original strengths were in prosperity of the home and traditional male-female roles.
Goddess Fortuna has been a shining light for women and children; for happiness and success in marriage and family relationships.
Goddess Fortuna has been shown as an angel with wings, a regal figure on a throne, with a cornucopia filled with coins or harvest.
Sometimes Goddess Fortuna holds a wheel to show the turning of fate and fortune, or a ships rudder, gently guiding our direction.
Sometimes Goddess Fortuna appears blindfolded. Perhaps She hears our prayers and sees our best solutions in the mind's eye without the distractions of the real world.
It is our hope that Goddess Fortuna will bring you inspiration, and a kind, gentle and meaningful image on which to focus during divine worship.
