Using your power to go against something bigger/tradition

Resilience as a stance

Drive and willpower

Intelligence and human advancement seen as a threat to others

Coming together as one group, power in numbers

Freedom, liberation

Justice

Velleda and The Divine Female Archetype

In the chaos that ensued after Neros death, this battle-hardened tribe of warriors, not content with being used as political pawns in the power struggle of pretenders, decided to take their fate into their own hands. Instrumental in this audacious act was the powerful and enigmatic Lady of fate, Velleda.

“for by ancient usage the Germans attributed to many of their women prophetic powers and, as the superstition grew in strength, even actual divinity.”
