Al Uzza, 'the Mightyist', the arabian Venus, Aphrodite, Astarte. big in Mecca.
said she presided over orgies.
also associated with exotic dancing.

Manat, 'fate-hope', the warrior goddess/shield maiden. Goddess of Destiny.
Lady Luck, Fortuna, chance, predestination etc.
2 swords, 2 peices of chainmail, possibly her magical armour of distraction...
