Amaltheia

The primordial goat who surrendered herself to Apollo as a cloud — the virgin first matter, the Quintessence of the alchemists and subtle agent of the Tabula Smaragdina. Through her the form-giving forces of Gaia stream into all that grows and becomes.

Greek Amaltheia — perhaps 'tender goddess' or 'nourishing.'
