Sirona Anuket was an Egyptian primeval earth goddess who was revered at Elephantine and in lower Nubia. She was associated with the Re solar goddess energies of Satis, and the Nile River cataracts. Referred to as Anukis by the Greeks, Ramses II viewed goddess Anuket as a munificent nurturing caretaker and had a portrait of her in his temple. Also depicted wearing a modius adorned with ostrich feathers, Anuket (Anukis) was also depicted anthropomorphically as a gazelle, which was her sacred Animal Totem. A Pan-Celtic, Romano Gallic, solar healing goddess Sirona (Dirona), her name means star. She was revered in Continental Europe at hot medicinal springs and mineral waters in diverse locales like southern France and Germany. Inscriptions with her name sometimes appeared along with that of her soulmate husband Grannos. Portrayed in a sculpture found in the Moselle area of Germany, she wore a snake bracelet and held a bowl filled with three eggs in her left hand. Sirona Anuket was also the Norse Icelandic Germanic goddess Hlothyn. Mentioned in the Poetic Edda "Trymshvoia", she was a Viking fertility earth mother and benefactress mentor of Thor.
Another name the spiritual
seekers of ancient lower Egypt knew her by was that of the local Heliopolis Re
solar goddess Iusaas, depicted with a scarab on her head.
The Sacred Site focal point of Hierarch Sirona Anuket and the First Ray of Will Empowerment is the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum, which is located in Tinicum Township by the Philadelphia International Airport in Philadelphia and Delaware counties in Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Encompassing 200 acres (0.8 square kilometers), the wildlife refuge was first established in 1972 as the Tinicum Environmental Center in order to preserve the largest freshwater tidal marsh in the state of Pennsylvania. It was renamed in 1991 in honor of the late H. John Heinz III who had helped in the Tinicum Marsh preservation efforts. Around 1634, the early Dutch, English, and Swedish settlers in Pennsylvania diked and drained the Tinicum Marsh area for grazing. Prior to urban expansion after World War I, the tidal marsh area consisted of more than 5,700 acres (23 square kilometers). Birdwatchers have reported viewing more than 300 bird species in the refuge environs including 85 species of nesting birds. Since the refuge is situated on the Atlantic Flyway, many different kinds of ducks, egrets, sandpipers, warblers, and other migrating shorebirds and waterfowl sojourn awhile during spring and fall flights. The wildlife refuge provides five types of habitats (fields, freshwater tidal marsh, impounded water, meadow, woods) for a diverse array of flora and fauna. Flora within the refuge include fields and meadows resplendent with numerous types of plants and wildflowers. Many kinds of wildlife find sanctuary at the refuge such as butterflies, deer, fish (brown bullhead, carp, channel catfish, crappie, pan fish, large-mouth bass, small striped bass, tiger musky), foxes, frogs (pickerel, southern leopard, wood), muskrats, opossums, raccoons, snakes (eastern garter, northern brown, northern water), turtles (eastern box, painted, red-bellied, snapping). Within the wildlife refuge there are more than ten miles of trails, two boardwalks, and a creek navigable by canoe. Currently there are plans to acquire further lands and to expand the wildlife refuge to include diverse habitats with a total acreage of 1,200 acres (4.9 square kilometers).
