Athena is a gray-eyed goddess who offers wisdom and strength in life's everyday battles

Athena, born fully formed and ready for battle, is a goddess as fierce as she is wise. Helping other deities in times of war, she uses strategy to devise the most reasonable path to victory. As an Olympian and virgin deity, Athena reminds us how strong we can be when we know ourselves fully and honor our unique strengths. Vengeful and determined, Athena is the gray-eyed one with an owl on her shoulder and the protector of Athens. Not only can Athena inspire us in difficult times; she can also remind us of our innate wisdom to know what is best — and act on it.
