Something to celebrate June 1

June, coming from Juno, goddess, daughter of Saturn and  sister/wife of Jupiter, considered protectoress of women, 'she who warns and protects'. She could throw lightning bolts too, which had to come in handy for a warrior goddess. So a fine month, June! It also happens to be my birth month, so I'm rather attached to it.
