Sun goddess with golden headdress holds glowing celestial sigils — AI art by @CaylaCatz

Solar priestess with the power of the sun dancing on her fingertips. She can make the world bloom with flowers and plants or burn it down to the ground. She could wear diamonds and gold, make everyone tremble with fear. She doesn't though. She recycled an old subway car, wears worn dungarees, and travels from place to place as needed. Power isn't something she flaunts. It's something she shares with people who understand how to care, how to build. It is power she gives so that others may harvest their own powers. She rolls into a place. If the people welcome her, come to learn about solar power, she shares what she knows. They think they are getting lessons on how to place a panel on their greenhouse or the amount of sunshine best for their harvest. This is the way her Goddess wants to be revered, wants to be worshipped. SHE doesn't need a church, a building, just compassion and caring for the earth, the plants, the animals and people. As they bow their heads over a plant, the priestess feels her Goddess's power rippled through her and she shares it with those around her before she rolls on. Later the people will marvel at how big and rich their harvest is. The miracles here are reaped with careful tending. The people's kindnesses to each other, to animals, to plants pay unexpected dividends and continue in the following earth. They remain grateful. No one connects it to the stranger who had rolled through long ago sharing her knowledge. If she rolls into a place where people refuse her, ridicule her wisdom, are cruel and unkind, she shrugs and rolls on. Those people don't ask how an old subway car with no engine travels along the highways and byways. They care not for solar energy, plants or taking care of the world around them. Later they complain about how long the drought is lasting, why the temperature is rising. There are no blessings in their place. The Goddess has removed her favor. The solar priestess rolls on.
