Interestingly there are a number of deity references connected to Tara, as the mother goddess in both Hinduism, Buddhism, druidic religion and Polynesian. But I am assuming this asteroid primarily assumes the identity related to its Hindu roots. In Indian Hinduism, the star goddess Tara is a manifestation of the queen of time, Kali. She is the Tantric manifestations of Mahadevi, Kali, or Parvati.
Goddess Tara is probably the oldest goddess who is still worshipped extensively in modern times. Tara originated as a Hindu goddess, a Great Goddess -- the Mother Creator, representing the eternal life force that fuels all life.

There are many embodiments of Tara, but the best known are the White Tara and the Green Tara.

The peaceful, compassionate White Tara gently protects and brings long life and peace. The more dynamic goddess, Green Tara is the "Mother Earth", and a fierce goddess who overcomes obstacles, and saves us from physical and spiritual danger.

In Sanskrit, the name Tara means Star, but she was also called She Who Brings Forth Life, The Great Compassionate Mother, and The Embodiment of Wisdom, and the Great Protecter. Adopted by Buddhism, she become the most widely revered deity in the Tibetan pantheon. In Buddhist tradition, Tara is actually much greater than a goddess -- she is a female Buddha, an enlightened one was has attained the highest wisdom, capability and compassion. . . one who can take human form and who remains in oneness with the every living thing.

The oldest reference to the goddess Tara, perhaps, is found in an ancient saga of Finland thought to be 5 thousand years old. The saga speaks of a group known as Tar, the Women of Wisdom.

A version of the Goddess Tara exists in virtually every culture. Indeed, it is said that the Goddess Tara will assume as many forms on earth as there are needs for by the people.

The Celts called their Great Goddess Tara. Her name is thought to be the root of the word Tor, which is a mound of earth or hillock imbued with spiritual energy or connection to the other worlds.

We also hear the echo of her name in the Latin word for earth, Terra, a connection between Tara and the concept of "Mother Earth".

The Goddess Tara is also associated with Kuan Yin, the great Chinese goddess of compassion. In South America she was known as the ancient mother goddess Tarahumara.

The Cheyenne people revere the Star Woman who fell from the heavens and whose body became the earth that provided them with food.

The ancient Babylonian Goddess Ishtar who, in her myths, came to earth from the heavens and instructed her people to co-mingle and intermarry with the earthlings to give them the benefits of their learning and wisdom was yet another incarnation of the Goddess Tara.

I know you know Angel and Wisdom...

Excalibur is a quest, often of divine nature.

Not sure what to make of this, other than this adding to my sense of confirmations that I don't meet the one I marry in this town. Also getting the feeling that this may not exactly be the most, um, romantic of marriages? Perhaps spirituality plays a role as well, given the Horus...?

I forget what Galatea represents offhand.

"Canonical criticism, sometimes called canon criticism or the canonical approach, is a way of interpreting the Bible that focuses on the text of the biblical canon itself as a finished product. It has been made popular by Brevard Childs, though he personally rejected the term.
Whereas other types of biblical criticism focus on the origins, structure and history of the text, canonical criticism looks at the meaning the text in its final form has for the community which uses it."

There is nothing but the most supreme. Anything else is nothing but idle creations of a mind that drowsily sees but the outer world and confuses worldly knowledge with inner wisdom. But behind it all stands your inner being, watching, but never judging...You see with the eyes of the most supreme. You live through the breath of the most supreme. You understand yourself by the consciousness of the most supreme. So allow yourself to leave behind everything that besieges and distresses you. Allow yourself to find the place of stillness inside yourself and know your true face.
