Perusing the Smithsonian's Freer collections for some patrilineal inspiration, this elephant caught my eye in an image from an early Sanskrit book...
Ramayana by sage Valmiki
...the lady elephant is strength and holds a baby in utero for almost two years...
...elephants hung out with goddess Laksmi because she represents courage and fertility, and because elephants are smart...
...be a gracious goddess and a steadfast warrior, and maybe help out a poor orphaned baby elephant to stay strong:
Elephant Orphan Project
...and maybe freak out some aspiring greedy colonists in your neighborhood?...
