Her realm is but one piece of the greater whole that is Nature, and She supports the balance of Nature, accepting each Divine realm within it as an integral part of the cycle of life. Each Season in turn is essential to the Cycle: the Spring, symbolised by the spirit [[Aviva]], for cultivating birth and reawakening; the Summer, as depicted by the spirit [[Elodie]], for nurturing life and growth; the Autumn, represented by the spirit [[Chrysanthis]], for culling the ripened harvest; the Winter, personified by the spirit [[Eunomia]] for preserving through death and slumber. Each Season leads to the next, on and on until the Cycle leads to the beginning to start again.
