Athena Mentor of Spiritual Quests. This [reproduction of an] image by Pheidias, 30 feet tall, was enshrined in the Parthenon of her holy city, where she was worshipped as the giver of civilization and wisdom. Her patriarchal overlay as daughter of Zeus belies more ancient North African roots as an-Ath [Neith], Mistress of All the Gods. In this neolithic form she wore a goat skin aegis (apron) decorated with phallic serpents. Virgin Athena inherited these powers, incorporated in Gorgon Medusa (the Libyan Amazon serpent goddess) whose face embosses her shield. Athenas attributes are self-confidence, courage, strength, intelligence, judiciousness, and fairness.
