This priestess raises her perfect hands to the heavens, releasing the souls of the dead, represented by the doves in her crown. Her bird face and long neck as well as the 13- moon crown reveal that she is The Goddess herself.
The bird is the symbol of the goddess, as it reflects many of her gifts and qualities. Like birds, the goddess inhabits all realms; in the ground, in the water, in the air. And like the bird, she can ascend to the heavens. But most importantly, the bird is twice born; once as an egg and once as a chick. And the goddess too is the generator of the life cycle; birth, death, and re-birth.
