Also known as Athena. A Greek and Roman representation of the Divine Feminine.
“Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, was the daughter of Jupiter. She was said to have leaped forth from his brain, mature, and in complete armour. She presided over the useful and ornamental arts, both those of men- such as agriculture and navigation- and those of women,- spinning, weaving, and needlework. She was also a warlike divinity; but it was defensive war only that she patronized, and she had no sympathy with Mars’s savage love of violence and bloodshed. Athens was her chosen seat, her own city, awarded to her as the prize of a contest with Neptune, who also aspired to it, The tale ran that in the reign of Cecrops, the first king of Athens, the two deities contended for the possession of the city. The gods decreed that it should be awarded to that one who produced the gift most useful to mortals. Neptune gave the horse; Minerva produced the olive. The gods gave judgment that the olive was the more useful of the two, and awarded the city to the goddess; and it was named after her, Athens, her name in Greek being Athene.” – Bullfinch’s Mythology
The bird of Minerva is the symbol of wisdom. A good deal has been said about the Quetzal; however, few are capable of understanding the mystery of this sacred bird.
The Quetzal is one of the most beautiful birds of the world. Its green feathered tail is long and very beautiful. Over its head it wears a crest of incomparable green and silky beauty. The entire appearance of this bird invites us to reflect.
The bird of Minerva, the miraculous Quetzal, is the outcome of the incessant transmutations of fire. When the sacred Pentecostal Fire ascends through the central canal of the spinal medulla, it has the miraculous power of transforming itself into a bird of fire. The Quetzal is the symbol of this bird of fire, which is the bird of Minerva.
The secret power of this bird allows any human to become a God! It grants metamorphosis into whatever shape one wishes to be. Likewise, the secret power of this bird has the capacity of opening the chakras, the wheels or magnetic discs of the Astral Body. This is the key to the priestly power. The Bird of Minerva
