Prospera (pross-pair-uh)

Provider, Harvestmother, Midwife of the gods

The goddess of agriculture, health, wealth, love, and fertility, Prospera appears as a stunningly beautiful  woman with hair that could be spun from silver, stunning blue eyes, and covered in a gown of gossamer. Her husband is Primus and they reside together in on the Divine Isle of Helios. From there she oversees all whose livelihood relies on fertility and growth; plants, animals or otherwise. She promotes love and honesty. Merchants have taken to praying to her before a day in the marketplace, asking for her blessings in the arts of haggling and negotiations.

Holidays

Prospera's Blessing: A major agricultural festival where farmers bless their fields and plant seeds. It includes communal meals, dances, and prayers for a bountiful harvest. This festival takes place during the month of Harvestmoond. Note: The village of Fairhill has a variation of the same festival, but the day is dedicated to the Aseir goddess of fertility, Freya. The festival does fall on the same month and day as Prospera's Blessing.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

Prospera promotes and encourages the art of sewing seeds and growth, whether it be a crop of wheat or during the act of love. She is the goddess of all prosperity, and with prosperity comes wealth, so she also teaches the art of fair negotiations and contracts. Her belief is the true path to personal wealth is to be fair to those you do business with, to be honest and forthright and good things shall come to you. "If you want your crop to be bounitful, then sew good seed," is a mantra of those who follow Propspera.  She will not bless or aid those that come by their wealth dishonestly or through scandalous means. 

For life to prosper, it must be constantly perpetuated, thus Prospera is also the mother of love, birth, and the cycle of life. Maidens pray to her to receive the love and adoration of a good suitor. Wives and mothers pray to her for a successful birth of a healthy child, as well as farmers that raise livestock will ask for her blessing for the successful birth of an animal in their charge.
