I must be remembering wrong, then. I thought you found the mommy
goddess (preggo), then the warrior-virgin goddess. My Celtic
background wants there to be a third, but I can't recall who that
would have been. Was it only the warrior-virgin that was hennaed
(the one with red paint on the way to the bathroom)?

: I've not seen a hugely pregnant goddess with henna that I recall.
:
: Plenty of happy, fecund, busty grinning ladies .... especially
: Mycenaean figures, with henna and harquus, but they didn't look
: pregnant. Just apt to become so.
:
: I can think of a figure, may be a goddess, 3000 BCE Aegean, that
: looked to be 4 months pregnant with nice henna and ornamentation,
but
: that's not all that far along.
:
: I've got a print of an Indian woman being delivered of a child, and
: her fingertips and toe tips are hennaed, but she's not a
goddess ....
: she's just a lady giving birth.
