“A detail of British Library Oriental Manuscript 6794 (6th-7th century), a spell for a good singing voice; the image here is apparently of the angel Davithe. In his hands he holds a lute and what seems to be a palm-branch.”

Gods of Fire
Ignea [@MetalWorld]
Agni, Father mighty
You are as pure as tears of Hell
Arshi Tengri
We, shamans, on our knees
Sekhmet, your beauty is
A hazard weapon for the mortals
Fuji, the lava shaped you
Gods of fire, hear my desire
From vaults of mountains and solar skies
Light my fingers, while my being lingers
Let me burn in the name of you
Logi, Nordic souls
Enlightened stand in front off thee
Fierce Svarog, commander of blacksmiths
Girra, bowing gently
No one is doubting your godship
See me, I'm your eternal priest
Gods of fire, hear my desire
From vaults of mountains and solar skies
Light my fingers, while my being lingers
Let me burn in the name of you

Hera
The goddess of women, marriage, and childbirth, she was known by the Romans as Juno. Homer gave Hera the epithet “ox-eyed” because of her large full eyes and described her as tall and striking. Hera was both sister and wife of Zeus, with whom she reigned on Mount Olympus.
The women of Greece prayed to Hera for protection during childbirth, good health, and to aide them in their marriages. She also had power over the skies and could bless the people with clear skies or curse them with storms. Hera was the daughter of Cronus and Rhea, the king and queen of the Titans.

In Greek mythology, she is queen of the twelve Olympians and Mount Olympus, sister and wife of Zeus, and daughter of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. One of her defining characteristics in myth is her jealous and vengeful nature in dealing with any who offend her, especially Zeus' numerous adulterous lovers and illegitimate offspring.
Her iconography usually presents her as a dignified, matronly figure, upright or enthroned, crowned with a polos or diadem, sometimes veiled as a married woman. She is the patron goddess of lawful marriage. She presides over weddings, blesses and legalises marital unions, and protects women from harm during childbirth. Her sacred animals include the cow, cuckoo and the peacock. She is sometimes shown holding a pomegranate, as an emblem of immortality. Her Roman counterpart is Juno
