Hygieia, Goddess of health, cleanliness and sterility, was the granddaughter of Apollo and the daughter of Asclepius, three generations of master healers. Join April, Harmony and Maggie as they discuss the beauty and relevance of a healing goddess emerging into the consciousness of our culture today.
Hygieia represented all rituals of cleanliness in ancient Greece. She came into her power when the Delphic Oracle referenced her in about 430 BCE. There was a huge plague and the Delphic Oracle credits Hygieia with a lot of the recovery of the people. Shortly after, a statue of Hygieia was raised directly across from the statue of Athena at the entrance to the Acropolis.
