Well, if you put it that way... :-)
However, or is that a yesbut? With the Godess being the loving
all-encompassing accepting girl she is, wouldn't she borrow imagery from
her loyal subjects? Co-opting and transforming myth and meaning.
Take a popular Carmanian Warrior god who likes swords bend him a bit and
you have nice scimitars. Not the best example, I know but there has to
be lots of these things going on. As native religions are subsumed into
Lunar doctrine, their symbols and images are also lunarized.

SWW, perhaps as something that binds the rest together - six objects in a bowl, six deities surrounded by a halo or radiating power, and never depicted on her own. Something along those lines perhaps.
Cheers,
