Goddess of Wisdom and Creativity

She is more than just a brand name replacement for the Greek Athena. In fact she was around under the Etruscans who knew her as Menrva.

Amazingly intelligent, she is credited with many creative ideas such as the invention of numbers (patent still pending) — and also musical instruments and medicine.

She was especially beloved by Roman doctors for her medical knowledge, hence her nickname Minerva-Medica. We feel she still has a lot of offer in that — and many other — regards.
