Mythology Summary
Metis is the Titaness of wisdom and cunning, Zeus' first wife, whom he swallows when he learns her second child will overthrow him. She counsels him from inside, and their daughter Athena is born from his head — wisdom that survives being consumed.
Modern Practice
Metis is called on for counsel, for cunning and for surviving a stronger power by intelligence. Her practice is quiet: advice given and not signed.
