Ardvi Sura Anahita (also Anahita, Anahit, or “Immaculate One”), means “the humid, strong, immaculate one”.
She embodied the physical and metaphorical qualities of water, especially the fertilizing flow of water from the fountain in the stars. She also ruled semen and human fertility. She was viewed as the “Golden Mother” and as a warrior maiden.
Anahita originated in Babylon and spread to Kemet (ancient Egypt). The Greeks associated Anahita with either Athena or Aphrodite. In the Middle East, she was associated with Anat. Worship of Anahita spread to Armenia, Persia, and various parts of western Asia.
