Sources describe her as representing vital functions of the fertile woman and as presiding over eroticism, human procreation, and marriage. The aged aspect is associated with weaving, indicating a linkage to textile craft or related female social roles. Beyond these domains, the supplied materials do not enumerate specific magical acts, miracles, or procedural powers.
