She Offers Blessings of Abundance.
Ceres, with Grain and Serpents, asks, "How does your garden grow?"Both your backyard and spiritual gardens will bloom, encouraged by her fertile gaze.
When veneration of the ancient Grain Goddess Demeter was imported to Italy by the Romans, they renamed her Ceres. In this statue, Ceres holds the cereal stalks that took her name, as well as writhing serpents which guarantee prosperity and success.
