Juno

Today is the first day of the month of June, named after the Roman Goddess Juno. Juno had many names, among them Moneta or "warner". She protected the city by warning of times of danger. Because of one of these occasions she was made the matron of the Roman mint and her name "Moneta" gave us the word "money". She was also the goddess of time, she was a symbol of the menstrual cycle as time's indicator. She was the ruler of femininity, its very essence. June is still the most favoured month for getting married as Juno ruled marriage as well as all aspects of the reproductive live of women. A perfect goddess for a woman to worship", I whisper.
