Liyesa is a Goddess of beauty, and as such she teaches us to see beauty in *all *things, even if they are things we do not necessarily deem beautiful. She gently guides us to see the beauty within ourselves, and embraces those whom society has cast out with loving arms. She is the Lady of Outcasts, who welcomes all those who need a place to rest.

Folks who are deemed too fat or too thin or too much, those with scars, with disabilities both seen and unseen, those discriminated against for the color of their skin or for whom they love, those who fall outside of the norms of society: they find solace in her care.

Liyesa teaches you to face your own thoughts and shadows, and to embrace and celebrate all that you are. To find your authentic self that lives in the heart of you and to let it shine out. Expressing that self through any means is to be encouraged and celebrated, which is why she is also a Goddess of Art.

She is the Breaker of Chains, and teaches us to break free from the expectations of others, of society, and the too harsh expectations of ourselves. She shows us that true freedom is not without sacrifice, but that freedom is a worthy goal to pursue and that we will be happier for it. Her path is one filled with joy and wonder, but it is not always an easy one. She forces us to care for ourselves and work towards loving ourselves with a gentle but steady hand. There is beauty in darkness, and there is beauty when you shine a light upon it.
