Today I continue to honor the gods maligned by the atheists' graveyard.  Medeina is deity number 30 from that list and is a Lithuanian forest goddess.  I could not find out much about her so a short prayer is my offering.

Lady of the Forest

Huntress due a portion

of every successful hunt

Animal Mother, Wild Child

Unmarried, She-Wolf

Precious is the hare to you

For it leads hunters astray

Protector of the forest

You renew its bounty

In return for the bull sacrifice

Called by the Greeks, Artemis

by the Romans, Diana

But here, here you are Medeina

I honor you gracious Lady

By which ever name

You wish to be called.

Hail Lady of the Forest.
