Lakshmi
Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess of fortune, beauty and abundance, who rose from the churning of the ocean and chose Vishnu as her consort. She is not a goddess of luck in the sense of accident: she attends where there is order, generosity and work already under way.

Lakshmi is honoured at the new moon and at Diwali, with lamps, lotus flowers and clean thresholds. Work with her for the prosperity of a household, for generosity that does not impoverish, and for the discipline of keeping what has been given.
