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. Dr. Ram Mehta ======================================= Fifth Place win in: Contest: Razzle Dazzle Me sponsored by the Sweetheart of PS

I love this one about Sulis Minerva. We love visiting the Roman Baths. My wife Sue believes the so called Gorgon's Head is Ascepelius (it certainly appears to be the wrong gender for a gorgon). Many congrats on your win, Dr Ram : )
