branchandrootPartial and tongue-in-cheek list of the patron deities/saints of teachers:
St. Francis of Assisi Especial patron of lecturers, to whom one prays for a miracle of attention from one's students.
Ganesha Especial patron of the beginnings of terms, to whom one prays to remove obstacles such as dying copy machines and late textbook orders.
Thoth To whom one prays for extra time, especially when completing the sacred course paperwork.
Anyone else got any?
