Juno: Goddess of Sacred Bonds

There are good photos on this page featuring Juno, Protective Roman Goddess.

Juno from the Roman Myth Index.

An interesting component mentioned in many of the research materials about Juno is that she is the goddess of binding... and knots are part of her magical works. "Bride" is related to "bridle" or binding, even as it is related to "bread" and "bridge", depending on the etymology one follows. Juno is goddess of Bonds and the "tie that binds", whether matrimonial, maternal, familial, etc.
She is a goddess of the Sacred Oath, and all female individual souls.
