2025 May 15: Ei-Hashtar of the Open Eye

 As alluded to before, Ei-Hashtar is a less popular goddess, owing to her visions having less value for most people Among those searching for higher truths however, she is often venerated, even though her visions unravel minds just as often as they elevate them. It is said, she knows all the secrets of other goddesses, and for this reason feuds often with them. She is also said to be hopeless at gardening, with only the Hashtar flower being able to survive in her care.

Ei-Hashtar is most often depicted as a woman with six white wings and eyes all over her body. Some depictions add a blindfold as well. She is revered as one who can give glimpses to the unseen world, help to see through deceptions, and even foretell the future.

Her sacred symbols are wings and eyes, and she is associated with the summer solstice, when the largest celebration in her honor takes place.
