Hi
I actually prefer Uleria as a goddess of love, but maybe I am over
sentimental.
I also think that as a member of the Celestial Court and a deity
ancient even amongst Deities, almost predating Gender itself, men
would could also worship Uleria. But this is already over the digest
meridian!!
Regards
Rob
