This fierce Goddess destroys your deepest fears and negative self–beliefs. She is the destroyer of demons who cause fear, depression, and anxiety. She gives courage and clarity and protects us from theft and anything that robs us of our vitality and power. . She is sometimes pictured with 10 swords surrounding her and wearing a bell.

In her hands she holds – . A SWORD : symbol of Knowledge that cuts through Ignorance and frees us from self-doubt. . A TRIDENT: symbol of the three types of suffering she removes -Physical, Mental, and Spiritual. . A MACE (wand) : Symbol of her power and authority. .
