Mythology Summary
Themis is the Greek Titaness of divine order and rightful custom, who holds the oracle at Delphi before Apollo and sits beside Zeus in counsel. She is not the enforcer of law but the shape of what is fitting, prior to any code.
Modern Practice
Themis is called on before an oath, a council or a decision that has to be fair rather than clever. Her practice is to consult the custom before writing the rule.
