Minerva was the Virgin Roman goddess of healing, poetry, music, wisdom, clairvoyance, weaving, commerce, warriors. In images she is often seen with an owl, which was her sacred creator and in western culture is associated with wisdom and is often confused with the Greek Goddess Diana. It is believed both Goddesses shared a similar background to the Greek Goddess Athena. It is thought this cult came to Europe via Eturia. For this reason images of all three goddesses, Minerva, Athena and Diana often appear very similar.
In North American Indian culture the Owl is associated with clairvoyance, deception and illumination. It is often referred to as the Night Eagle.
Cybele - another Roman Goddess
