Why “Themis”?
Themis was an ancient Greek Titaness. She is described as “the Lady of good counsel” and seen as the personification of divine order, fairness, law, natural law and custom. Her symbols are the Scales of Justice, tools used to remain balanced and pragmatic.
To the ancient Greeks she was originally the organiser of the “communal affairs of humans”. Some classical representations of Themis showed her holding a sword, believed to represent her ability to cut fact from fiction
The ability of the goddess Themis to foresee the future enabled her to become one of the Oracles of Delphi, which in turn led to her establishment as the goddess of divine justice.
We like to think her balance, fairness, pragmatism and organisational skills match up well to our aims as financial planners.
If you were able to have someone tell you what would happen in the future or give you advice on what to do to get a certain outcome, would you?
