Goddess Aquae Sulis-Win
I am the native of interface between this world and the other
Living presently in my shrine at the Roman baths at Bath in UK
People used to throw coins into me because of my sanctity
But no more they do it but have still faith in my medicinal utility.
People used to throw curse tablets requesting my intervention
I was known as Goddess Sulis till the Romans arrived here
And they saw in me the image of their Goddess Minerva
Now Medica Minerva-Sulis because of my healing power.
Known for curse and cure, now I cure but curse nobody
Pilgrims come from Europe to bathe in my therapeutic body
And get healed of their rheumatic and gout diseases and ills
Many a Homeopaths come for inspiration for their clinics.
Women worship me as a Goddess of childbirth and lactation
A hot beauty, men come for warming their body and heart.
