"An Amazon Warrior Takes Pride In Who She Is, Not How She Fits In With Others."
Katrina Browne as Cyane in "Amazon Grace" (Young Hercules)

The word "Aretias" comes from the ancient name of a small island in The Black Sea. One can still see this mystical place, which is now called Giresun Island, off the coast of The Black Sea in Giresun, Turkey.

Aretias is a site sacred to the "Ancient Amazons". This mist surrounded "bird" island is mysterious and beautiful in appearance. It holds the very large "Black Hamza Stone", which is a large sphere of ingeous rock that is said to have magickal properties. To this day it is worshipped by Turkish women as a granter of fertility. The black stone was once surrounded by a large roofless temple built many centuries ago by the Ancient Amazons. This was their place for Goddess worship, magickal ceremonies, and DANCE.
