	Fortuna (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Roman mythology, Fortuna (equivalent to the Greek goddess Tyche) was the personification of luck, hopefully of good luck, but she could be represented veiled and blind, as modern depictions of Justice are seen, and came to represent the capriciousness of life.
		In the Roman calendar, June 11 was sacred to Fortuna, with a greater festival to Fors Fortuna on the 24th [1].
		Fortuna had a temple in the Forum Boarium, a public sanctuary on the Quirinalis, as the tutelary genius of Roma herself, Fortuna Populi Romani, the "Fortune of the Roman people", and an oracle in Praeneste where the future was chosen by a small boy choosing oak rods with possible futures written on them.

		But Fortuna of course, goes back thousands of years, Goddess Fortuna with her wheel, and it survived right into the 15th, 16th century, particularly I suppose as a projection, and a very secular projection.
		But Fortuna, Goddess Fortuna lived on and it’s a kind of projection of people’s insecurity really, and particularly at a time when there was always an epidemic around a corner, or another war, or some other misfortune.
		When there’s bad luck of course there is the possibility that it might turn into good luck, but that’s rather the exception, that is very much the message that comes across, I have to say.
