Fortuna Smiles
Added 2022-03-18 17:15:48 +0000 UTCFortuna, equivalent to the Greek goddess Tyche, is the goddess of fortune and the literal personification of luck.
Her impact on culture is still largely felt today, with the wheel of fortune being an actualized representation.
(Wheel of fortune/fortuna) and a myriad of influence in cultural works throughout the Middle Ages.
Fortuna has persisted, perhaps largely due to the idea of potential fortune once favored by her.
This favour continued though the Renaissance along with even Christianized versions of Lady luck.
As written on by Boethius (6th century philosopher), that the apparently random and often ruinous turns of Fortune's Wheel are in fact both inevitable and providential, that even the most coincidental events are part of God's hidden plan which one should not resist or try to change. Fortuna, then, was a servant of God.
She has no doubt become deeply ingrained in our everyday life and references.
Perhaps the wheel shall turn to fortunate circumstances as you enjoy this magnificent deeply energized flute track.
