Devera FAQ
Date: 2008-04-17 15:44 (UTC)From: (Anonymous)Amusingly, I didn't realize that Deverra makes an appearance in Book 6 of The City of God, by St. Augustine. Apparently, she was a guardian goddess of women, one of three deities who protected women who'd just given birth from the god Silvanus. Deverra was associated with a besom (broom made of sticks) used by those human male guardians who swept Silvanus away from the threshold.
