Mythology Summary
Hera is the Greek queen of the gods and goddess of marriage, whose myths are largely the story of a bond repeatedly broken by Zeus and repeatedly enforced by her. She is sovereignty and the cost of it, and the myth is honest about how badly she is served.
Modern Practice
Hera is called on for marriage, for the protection of women, and for the sovereignty that a queen holds in her own right. Her practice is formal — oaths, offerings, the arrangements of a household — and her wound is real.
