Spring | Earth | Creation
Serranai, the artist of the earth. The ground is her canvas and flowers her paints. Her masterpieces are visible in their peak form every spring and last well into summer, continuing to evolve in complexity even when her own season is fully past. Those fortunate enough to find themselves in her presence will know her by her wild red curls, crown of flowers and twigs, deer-like antlers, and satyr's legs. She is a painter, a gardener, a comedienne, a trickster, an archer, a warrior.
Her preferred offerings are sprigs of young plants and candles with herbs or flowers encased in the wax, as well as animal bones, fruits and vegetables, lovely stones, and art of all kinds. Devotional paintings, poems, songs, or artisan crafts are all acceptable. She has a particular fondness for fruit jam and wine. Her symbols include woodland creatures (particularly deer and rabbits), trees, animal bones and antlers, flowers, arrows, stone and gems, seeds, eggs, wine and mead, honey, bees, and spring plants of all kinds. She is most often represented by the color green, though floral pastels and red-orange are also common motifs.
Those who are likely to be favored by the goddess Serranai do not have to be born in spring, though it can often help. Regardless of time of birth, Serranai favors artists, gardeners, keepers of animals, and those who spend much of their time in the woods. She is known to grant her true sight and aim to archers who she favors.

He spends an hour or two beneath that tree, taking a small homemade meal he enjoys alone, leaving behind either a jar of some new jam or preserve found in the shops or a small portion of his meal for her to share.
Perhaps his tokens are taken each month, perhaps not, but he continues his ritual as long as he has her favor--and should she ever need to contact him, he'll always keep an eye out for her endearingly awful handwriting.
