Her Story
Babylonian, Assyrian and Phoenician goddess Astarte is honoured as the strong and wise Queen of Heaven. In her warrior queen aspect, she wore the horns of a bull and rode into battle behind her horses and chariots. She was also the Greek goddess of love and fertility, fire and productivity, war and victory and sexual prowess.
Astarte was at once maiden and mother goddess whose energy is greatest at the time of a crescent moon. In her temple, her sacred prostitutes co-resided with her priestesses, symbolising the sanctity of women in all walks of life. Her priestesses were famous astrologers who entered into sacred marriages with kings.
Her Modern Energy
In times of crisis, when our creativity and self-confidence is threatened, Astarte's energy resonates to marshal our resourcefulness. Astarte-inspired women have an uncanny knack to make the most of a limited amount of resources.
Astarte used her inner strength and wisdom to fight her battles, but as with all goddess deities, she has a dark side. Taking the warrior image too far through hostility and violence only leads to self-destruction.
If you are feeling threatened by a situation outside of you, be careful before brandishing your sword to avenge a wrong done against you. Explosive anger may satisfy the short-term need for revenge, but Astarte calls on you to exercise wisdom.
Reconnect With Your Inner Astarte
Examine other ways you can achieve "victory" without hurting others. For example, achieve success in an area that your adversary would never expect - get that promotion, pay off that debt, or make peace with a warring family member. Do it in a dignified manner, with patience, respect and wisdom and all these attributes will come back to you threefold in the way other people treat you.
What Would Astarte Do?
... If she were in your situation, she would make the most of her resources, whether they be in abundance or not immediately obvious. She would find clever ways to achieve victory with patience and respect for everyone involved.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
