Being daughter of two fathers (gods, being gods, can do that sort of thing), it makes sense that she should be patron of same-sex love.*

Rainbow was a goddess known to the ancestors, but in our day she takes on new meaning and new importance.

As Lady of Many Colors, she protects the times and places when peoples of different kinds, of different colors, come harmoniously together.

She gathers beneath her wings the gender-nonconforming.

And of course, the men for men, the women for women, and those who move creatively between, are her special people, hers to her.

When her namesake flowers bloom, during the month of June, we see her banner prominently displayed.

Interestingly, for meteorological reasons, during this same month we often see her standing, in her own person, there between Earth and Heaven.

For she is Frith-Weaver, Lady of Peace. Where there is conflict, there also will she be.

Her Presence is always a blessing, but always brief.

So when next you see her, Lady of Light, Daughter of Sun and Thunder, standing between Earth and Heaven, offer Her your prayers.

Ask her for peace in our land.

 

*It intrigues me that when, in mythology, two males have a child together, that child is often a daughter. The meaning here seems clear enough: male-male love is its own matter, not an inherent rejection of the female.
