WHO IS FORTUNA?
Every Good Luck Cult needs an icon and Fortuna, the Roman Goddess of Fortune and Luck, is the inspiration for ours.
As a figurehead, Fortuna stands tall, swinging a down-turned sword, back and forth, like an irregular pendulum. With it, she dispenses Luck, both fair and foul. She does not wear a blindfold, for her impartiality is her integrity. She has a beautiful, intriguing face with a quirky smile, like the Statue of Liberty or Angelina Jolie. Her steady gaze can comfort the misfortunate with tender empathy yet wink gaily at a winner with the same expression. Fortuna is a vixen.
