GODDESS OF THE WISHING WELL<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all done it as a child.\u00a0 Thrown pennies into a fountain while making a wish, little did we know, we were making an offering to a wonderful Celtic goddess.\u00a0 Her name is Coventina, and the wishing well was made in her honor.\u00a0 The main well or shrine dedicated to her is locate at Carrawburgh, on Hadrian\u2019s Wall in Britain.\u00a0 The wells represented the earths very essence and womb, where the Celtics believed Coventinas presence resided most. She also resides in all rivers, lakes, and streams.\u00a0 Since she is a water goddess, she\u2019s also great for inspiration and divination, all the aspects of the divine feminine.<\/p>\n

Coventina stands among rivers and water, holding a vessel with water pouring from it.\u00a0 With this depiction she\u2019s also associated with abundance, prosperity, and new life. \u00a0What a perfect goddess to learn about before the new year!\u00a0 She was called upon by her followers for small wishes, or before they were about to embark on a new journey within their life.\u00a0 Coventina was asked to bring good luck to their endeavors.<\/p>\n

CONNECTING WITH COVENTINA<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Try throwing a coin into a stream or fountain.\u00a0 Better yet a well if you can find one.\u00a0 Ask for what you hope to manifest within the next year.\u00a0 Coventina would also encourage everyone to start taking the necessary steps towards purification.\u00a0 This means, purifiying yourself through change of diet, with less intake of harsh chemicals and preservatives, as well as purififying your thoughts. To purify your thoughts basically means positive thinking about situations and most of all others.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to think purely about someone who is negative, but all you have to do is send them love and forget about it.\u00a0 Just simply move on, because dwelling on it with stressful thoughts and anger can have a negative effect on your body and long-term mood.\u00a0 Don\u2019t hesitate to ask Coventina for help with this.<\/p>\n
