Matricia Vicka

(Sai Vikhë, Agia Vicka, Lady Victory) 

Keeper of the First Fire

Feast Day: 13 Rosea/June 25

Lady Vicka is the Opener. The cutting edge, and the strength to endure. She is the patron of warriors, surgeons, firemen, and anyone else who uses blade and force to save lives or remove danger. She is precision, a rallying cry, and the protector of those who cannot protect themselves from the danger they face. Lady of battle, her iron sword and shield glowing with fire.

At the highest level, she is Holy Valour. The never ending war against demons, against darkness; to fight for eternity and to exhaustion because without her protection, we would be consumed by monsters within and monsters without. The valour to wield truth like a blade, the sharpest edge.

For those of us who desire to align our aspirations and spirits more closely with Agia Vicka, I’ve included more information about her below. Those who practice spiritual arts can use these associations to align their workings with her Stream.

Much of this information comes from her classical astrological rulership of Mars, as well as archetypal associations in her legends and folklore around the world.
