#al-uzza

al-ʻUzzā - al-‘Uzzá - al-Uzza - العزى

Charming and glorious Al-Uzza, your might and beauty shines on all our souls through our human eyes.

Al-Uzza of Nakhla, your heartwarming glory shines like the morning star.

You, who protects us from the malevolent forces, mortal or not, dead or alive. Test your power on the ones who harm us, as they are ignorant of the fact that you, Al-Uzza, are the one who helps us in the roughest times.

Everything is yours, from the deep roots of the trees under the ground to the shiny morning star in the sky.

Lovely sister of Manāt and Allāt, may your strength warm our hearts until the end of time.

arabian mythology: al-uzza, manat & a-lat

ARAB TRIPLE GODDESS

Allat, Al-Uzza, and Manat were the primary deities worshipped at Mecca prior to Islamic conquest.  Ancient Arabs traditionally circled the Kaaba in Mecca while saying:

“By Al-Lat and al-Uzza, Whose intercession is to be sought.”

Supreme goddess of the Nabataean pantheon, and one of the three main goddesses of Semitic Arabia before the rise of Islam. Under Hellenization, she became synonymous with Isis, Aphrodite, and Athena. Her name translates to “The Most Mighty”.

Aside from being the head figure for agriculture and fertility, she was also identified with war and the protection of seafaring traders who were part of Nabataea’s economic and political growth during the first century BC/AD. She took the form of a lioness in war for soldiers, and a dolphin in the sea for traders.
