My first invented goddess! Found her in a 99 cent store. I was staring at the wall of toys and saw this cow, which in her plastic distortion also looked to me like she had the face of a cat. Immediately I recognized her as the goddess of the yoga activity Cat/Cow. Go means cow in Sanskrit, Marjari means cat, hence Go-Marjari. Actually she looks like she has some zebra in her ancestry as well, and a goddess with such murky ancestry has to be American. I shall worship her forever in doing Cat/Cow frequently and devotedly.

I’d like to post it, but I can’t download the pic. And truthfully I don’t really want to have to buy them, because they’re sort of… well, tacky! But thanks Anne! You sure do have your eyes open!
