Myrrha - The Gossamer Truth

Goddess of Illusion • Fate • Transformation • Revelation

Who is Myrrha

Myrrha does not lie. She simply lets you see what could be true. She is the fluttering veil, the mask that reveals, the echo of what you almost remembered.

> Her realm is not about hiding who you are, but asking: What might you become, if you let go?

To some, she is a trickster saint. To others, the final mirror. She is worshipped by those who know the self is a chrysalis—and the truth has wings.

Domains & Spheres of Influence

> Myrrha threads the impossible into view.

Illusion — Reshaping perception to reveal hidden self.

Fate — Guiding destinies, allowing mortals to weave new ends.

Transformation — Sacred rebirth: old self dies so new may breathe.

Revelation — Truths too vast for sight become felt in the bones.

Divine Symbol

> A moth with mirrored wings—one intact, one fading—hovering over a spiral thread of burning destiny.

The Moth — Drawn to truth’s light, even at risk of burning.

The Wings — Duality: beauty in decay, truth in contradiction.

The Spiral — Never-broken thread of destiny.

Carved into mirror frames, inked on veils, whispered in filigree of hidden reflections.
