HERA
Fragrance: Pomegranate Waterlily
Crystals: Lapis Lazuli, Garnet
Lapis lazuli. This bright blue stone is associated with royalty, nobility, and truth. Garnets evoke pomegranate seeds, one of Hera’s symbols.
As goddess of marriage, women, and childbirth, Hera was responsible for the welfare of women and children. The women of ancient Greece would pray to her for protection during childbirth.
In Roman mythology, Hera is known as Juno. There are many symbols connected with Hera, including the peacock, the cow, and pomegranates. Some stories say that Hera could have a child whenever she wanted, just by doing something as simple as slapping her hands together.
Hera is often depicted with peacocks, cuckoo birds, and pomegranates as symbols. Her gem is the Lapis Lazuli. This beautiful blue stone, often containing crystals of golden pyrite, has long been prized by many cultures. It helps promote honesty and open communications and key elements of any marriage.
