Hello hello,

I was just going through some old posts of mine anddd...I thought to reincarnate the deity trivia if anyone's interested. For those who have never played this before the rules are we each take turns guessing the deity, and the first person to guess correctly offers up a new deity to be guessed. Write a small cryptic but non easy description and we'll see what happens...here goes:

Born from the violence of others...I had the gentle wind to guide me to one of my island homes.

who am I?

Namaste

The answer is indeed Rudiobus. A magnificent bronze statue of a stallion, with flared nostrils and one foreleg raised, was discovered in Neuvy-en-Sullias (France). The base bears the inscription

AVG(usto) RVDIOBO SACRVM
CVR(ia) CASSICIATE D(e) S(ua) P(ecunia) D(edit)
SER(vius) ESVMAGIVS SACROVIR, SER(vius) IOMAGLIVS SEVERVS
F(aciendum) C(uraverunt)

To the August Rudiobus, the curia of the Vicus (village) of Cassiciate gave this offering at their own expense. Servius Esumagius Sacrovir and Servius Iomaglius Serverus were in charge of the work.

Bendis?

_Banbha_
April 29th, 2006, 02:34 PM
Bendis?

Yes, you found her. Well done!

Bendis was a Thracian goddess of the hunt whom the Greeks identified with Artemis, and hence with the other two aspects of the former Minoan Triple Goddess, Hecate and Persephone. She was a huntress, like Artemis, but was accompanied by dancing satyrs and maenads on a 5th Century red-figure stemless cup (at Verona). More than Olympian Artemis, Bendis remained a night-goddess, which linked her with Hecate .

Her cult was introduced into Attica by immigrant Thracian residents, and became so popular that in Plato's time (ca. 430 BCE) its festivities were naturalized as an official ceremonial of the city-state, called the Bendideia. Among the events were nightime torch-races on horseback, mentioned in Plato's Republic, 328:

"You haven't heard that there is to be a torchlight race this evening on horseback in honor of the Goddess?” “On horseback?” said I. “That is a new idea. Will they carry torches and pass them along to one another as they race with the horses, or how do you mean?” “That's the way of it,” said Polemarchus, “and, besides, there is to be a night festival which will be worth seeing."
The 'Bendideia' also featured a solemn joint procession of Athenians and Thracians to the Goddess's sanctuary, located at the harbor of Piraeus. A red-figure cup (skyphos) (at Tübingen University), of ca 440-430, seems to commemorate the arrival of the newly-authorized cult; it shows Themis (representing traditional Athenian customs) and a booted and cloaked Bendis, who wears a Thracian fox-skin cap.

Bendis means to bind or tie.

Philosophia
April 29th, 2006, 10:29 PM
Yep, you got it!
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sul
Sulis was the local goddess of the thermal springs that still feed the spa baths at Bath, which the Romans called Aquae Sulis ("the waters of Sulis"). Her name appears on inscriptions at Bath, but nowhere else. This should not be disappointing. Celtic deities often preserved their archaic localization. They remained to the end associated with a specific place, often a cleft in the earth, a spring, pool or well. The Greeks referred to the similarly local pre-Hellenic deities in the local epithets that they assigned, associated with the cult of their Olympian pantheon at certain places (Zeus Molossos only at Dodona, for example). The Romans tended to lose sight of these specific locations, except in a few Etruscan cult inheritances and ideas like the genius loci, the guardian spirit of a place.

Hooray! You got it!

The White Buffalo Calf Woman, in Lakota mythology, is a sacred woman of supernatural origin who gave the Lakota their "Seven Sacred Rituals".

The traditional story is that, long ago there was a time of famine. The chief of the Lakotas sent out two scouts to hunt for food. As the scouts travelled they saw a figure in the distance. As they approached they saw that it was a beautiful young woman in white clothing.

One of the scouts was filled with desire for the woman. He approached her, telling his companion he would attempt to embrace the woman, and if he found her pleasing, he would claim her as a wife.

His companion warned him that she appeared to be a sacred women, and to do anything sacrilegious would be folly. The scout ignored his advice.

The companion watched as the scout approached and embraced the woman, during which time a white cloud enveloped the pair. After a while, the cloud disappeared and only the mysterious woman remained.

The remaining scout was frightened, and began to draw his bow, but the woman beckoned him forward, telling him that no harm would come to him.

As the woman was fluent in Lakota, the young man decided she was one of his tribe, and came forward. When he arrived, she pointed to a spot on the ground where the other scout's bare bones lay. She explained that the Crazy Buffalo had compelled the man to desire her, and she had annihilated him.

The scout became even more frightened and again menaced her with his bow.

At this time, the woman explained that she was Wakan and his weapons could not harm her. She further explained that if he did as she instructed, no harm would befall him and that his tribe would become more prosperous.

The scout promised to do what she instructed, and was told to return to his encampment, call the Council and prepare a feast for her arrival.

The woman's name was Ptesan*Wi which translated White Buffalo Calf Woman. She taught the Lakotas many sacred rituals and gave then the chununpa or sacred pipe which is the holiest of all worship symbols. After teaching the people and giving them her gifts, PtesanWi left them promising to return.

Later, the story became attributed to the goddess Wohpe, also know as Whope, or Wope.

When Roman Catholic missionaries first came among the Lakota, their stories of the Virgin Mary and Jesus became associated with the legend of White Buffalo Calf Woman. The syncretic practice of identifying Mary with PtesanWi and Jesus with the chununpa continues among Lakota Christians to this day.

The story of PtesanWi is associated with the white buffalo. Only seven true, genetically pure white bison exist, and they are all residents of Spirit Mountain Ranch in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Cardea
In Roman mythology, Cardea was the goddess of health, thresholds and door hinges and handles, also associated with the wind. Her name comes from cardo, meaning door-pivot. She protected children against vampires and witches, and was also the benefactress of craftsmen. Her cult was important in ancient Rome, and was worshipped at the Beltane festival and during June, both of which were seen as a metphorical "hinge" for the year. Masks, balls and figurines (oscilla) were hung from doorways or trees to encourage crop growth in reverence to her. The hawthorn tree was sacred to her.

Ovid said of Cardea, in what is apparently a religious formula, "Her power is to open what is shut; to shut what is open."

She was originally the nymph Carna until Janus gave her power over door handles and hinges and status as the protectress of children

He's not Herne. His Father aspect makes him easier to find as you are probably more familiar with his children (or at least I was! 8O ).
