Their quest for perfection is ultimately a quest for service—to be useful, to help others function better, and to make the world a more orderly and wholesome place.
Myth & Symbolism
Often associated with Astraea, the Greek goddess of innocence and justice, who was the last immortal to leave Earth. The Maiden symbolizes purity, harvest, and discernment—separating the wheat from the chaff.
