Hera
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.
