In the former sky
Saturn was yellow
Mars was red
And Venus was green
So Venus was the Goddess of Agriculture
She introduced farming
And created the green crop
She was the Lady of Crops
And the Harvest Queen
In Native American lore
Venus was the Corn Goddess
Or Maize Mother
The Inca knew Venus as Chasca
The Originator of the flowers of the field
She is pictured as being clad in garments of green
And also green and yellow because of her association with Saturn
Mars who was typically red
Would appear green after his association with Venus
After he appeared from the underworld
He was a bright green
And this was seen as a rebirth
The Mayan called Mars Quetzalcoatl
Because the Quetzal bird is an iridescent green color
Mars would fertilize the field with his thunderbolts
Inseminating with his drill stick
That is why Mars is male
And Venus is female
The field was the Great Green around Venus
The Green Garden
The Garden of Eden
When Mars left the garden
He was seen as being banished
From the Garden of Eden
And when he reappeared
He was greenish
And regenerated
And was seen as
Being raised from the dead
Or born again
