Lady Luck, with her Cornucopia.
The Goddess or Fate who rules each individual's "Wheel of Fortune," called Tyche by the Greeks, is a kindly deity similar to a guardian angel. Her Roman name was Fortuna.
Here, we see her portrayed with her wheel. In her right hand she holds a rudder, which she steers, altering our karmic path. Her overflowing cornucopia and great benevolence make her similar to the Hindu Ganesh.
