Thekla (Thecla) -- "The Holy Protomartyr and Equal of the Apostles".  Although she was an actual historic figure and not a goddess, Thekla deserves mention in the category of divine females. Thekla was born in the city of Iconium of pagan parents. The Apostle Paul arrived in Iconium to preach and hearing Paul's testimony Thekla converted to the Christian Faith. Thekla left the city and set out to find Paul. Upon finding him, she requested that he baptize her, but to her surprise Paul to baptize her. Thekla went onto settle in a desolate region where she preached the Gospel. To many she was considered to be an equal of the Apostles, but to many more she,was just a woman who did not know her place in the religious hierarchy. Although a Saint in the Orthodox Church, Thekla is virtually unknown to most other Christians. *Ironically, Thekla seems most unknown to the Christian women ministers who make the Apostle Paul a centerpiece of their preaching. While many seem to feel that Paul would bless their ministries, he  probably would have branded them as heretics.

*The First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians (14:34 - 14:35): "Women should be silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should subordinate, as the law also says. If there is anything they desire to know, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church"

The area, which is now St. Peters Basilica, thus became known as the "Vatican". Vatika had several other related meanings in ancient Etruscan. It was the name of a bitter grape that grew wild on the graveyard slope, which the peasants made into what became infamous as the name of one of the cheapest (and worst) wines in the ancient world. It was also the name of a hallucinogenic weed (vatika cannabis), that grew on the slope and when chewed, was thought to produced prophetic vision, much like the effect of peyote mushrooms. Thus, the word passed into Latin as a synonym for "prophecy and also as the name of the Etruscans female oracles called "Vaticinia".

The Romans revered Venus as the ancestor of the Roman people and Julius Caesar claimed her as an ancestor, as did his heir Augustus. Venus is the only goddess whose name was given to a major planet. (Throughout history the perception of the goddess Venus and its astrological influences have adapted to reflect society's archetypal image of femininity and sexuality.)
