Harmonia

Classical mythology has various tales of how a God or a Goddess falls in love with a mortal, and the Goddess Harmonia is said to have married one - Cadmus. 
   
Harmonia is said to be the daughter of the God Ares and the Goddess Aphrodite, and that she became the wife of Cadmus king of Thebes. 
    According to legend Cadmus had killed a dragon sacred to Ares; only after a year's servitude (eight years in modern time) did Ares forgive him and grant Cadmus permission to marry his daughter - a wedding attended by all the Gods. During the ceremony Cadmus presented to his new wife the beautiful but notorious necklace made by the God Hephaestus. 

Even kings can dream, and doubtless Cadmus' wife was lovely, and some A list Greek celebrities attended his wedding; but no way would or could a Goddess marry a mortal however fond she might be of them. 

Harmonia is among the most gentle and lovely of all the Goddesses. Most times she appears naked. Harmonia has a classic 'heart' shaped face and perfect complexion; she has extremely dark blue eyes, indeed the Goddesses especially have very strange and beautiful eyes. Harmonia's are blue but they change from blue to mauve as you look at her. Her hair is long and golden. Sometimes she chooses to appear aged in her early 20s; other times she appears in her 30s. Her voice is soft and sweet.
    On first encounter with her there appeared a rainbow light moving and forming speckles and patterns like a kaleidoscope which then cascaded into tiny lights of different colours.

"These lights you see are part of me which will bring you vitality, let them be absorbed not only into your auric body but your physical body. I the great Goddess Harmonia thank you for welcoming me." Harmonia really has a beautiful smile. 
    "You go through tests with various Gods and Goddesses; but my ways are different. I believe in your sincerity without going to these lengths, and that you have courage. Rest for a moment in my light then I will take you somewhere."

The following is the team-member's account: 
    '...I floated off on the light and found myself in a place where there were ancient remains and mountains around. I thought it might be Greece. Harmonia stood beside me, tall and beautiful.
    "This was a temple to a mighty one, and alongside was a much smaller one that was mine. Mortals came here from all over the country to ask for my help, which often I gave. A young woman would come and ask that her forthcoming marriage would be a happy and harmonious one."
    'I saw three young women go together into a small temple and there they prayed. 
    "These brides-to-be have made a long journey together to come here; therefore each one will have much happiness ahead of them."
