Janus

The God of Beginnings, the Two-Faced Watcher of the gate who looks simultaneously at the past and the future. He is the master of the "threshold," the deity of transitions, doorways, and the month of January. Janus is the unique spirit of the Roman mind—the realization that every ending is a door and every beginning a responsibility. He represents the duality of the human experience: the wisdom of what was and the vision of what is yet to be. Can you stand in the doorway of your own life and see both directions clearly?
