Karametra

Karametra is the God of Harvests on Theros. She is associated with white and green mana.

Description

Karametra is the god of the hearth, agriculture and harvest. She is a serene, wise god who values community, stability, and the balance of nature. She is the patron of Setessa, and associated with charity and orphans. Karametra has a tumultuous relationship with Nylea, whom she speaks of as her sister. Though she governs the realms of fertility, motherhood, and agriculture, Karametra is not a pacifist god. Her signature item is a scythe, signifying both the harvest and the natural laws of life and death. She is often depicted with a sable, a weasel-like creature of great ferocity.

In ancient times Karametra was worshipped with blood rituals and had a more sinister side. This aspect is still venerated by the minotaurs.
