The Greek Gods Zeus and Hera gave birth to many children, but none more breath-taking than their daughter- Hebe. It is said that Hebe's graceful and delicate features eclipsed those of many other Gods within the Pantheon- even over-shadowing the Goddess of Beauty herself. Hebe never seemed to show her age and remained young and stunning as centuries passed- she eventually became eternally youthful. Her charm and elegance resisted the ravages of time- even when the Western theologies spread East and consumed the existing belief systems of the region. As the influence and power of these original Gods lessened and they were forgotten or replaced- only one persevered. The allure of Hebe never diminished- who can truly forget a beautiful thought, a beautiful saying, or a beautiful memory? Hebe is the living embodiment of all these and more. After the fall of their Heavenly Empire- Hebe fled the Mountain to escape these new and dangerous ideologies that ravaged the only home that she had ever known. Hebe wept for those that she lost and as her tears fell to the Earth, that she was now bound to, the spot where they landed became blessed- any object that was placed into the dirt had magical rejuvenative, restorative powers. Even though Hebe may no longer be considered a Goddess, the immortality that beauty granted her still persists to this day. This piece has been exposed to this soil and their healing and age-defying abilities have been transferred into them and now they can reverse time for you. There is no lengthy or involved ritual for this- keep this with you wherever you go and anytime you pass a reflective surface, glance at yourself- imagine and feel a younger, beautiful you- staring back at you.
