ARETE GUNE

(ar-et-ay) (goo-nay)

In ancient Greek, Arete means goodness, a gracious act, virtue, uprightness.
Gune means woman — encompassing all ages.

But the call of Arete Gune is larger than gender.
It is a call to the entire Bride of Christ — men and women — to be clothed in virtue, uprightness, and covenant readiness for the coming of the Bridegroom.

What began through small offerings of scarves and jewelry quickly became a deeper vision:
Not merely to inspire outward modesty, but to awaken a conversation about the true inward identity of the Bride —
Virtuous. Sealed. Watching. Waiting.

Every piece I helped design carried quiet meaning:
Marked with the seal V O, with small letters beneath: pr31:10+.

• V — Virtuous
• O — Ring (covenant, eternity)
• pr31:10+ — Proverbs 31:10 through 31, sealed by the Cross.

The “+”, shaped like a cross, reminds us:
Our virtue is not by our own strength,
but by the finished work of Christ.
By the Bridegroom who prepares His Bride to be ready.

🌿 The Restoration of the Scroll

For a season, Arete Gune was quietly set aside.
But in God’s perfect timing, the scroll has been restored —
not as a brand, but as a banner.
Not to build platforms, but to lift up a trumpet for the Bride.

Today, Arete Gune stands once again —
Virtuous. Sealed. Set apart. Watching. Waiting.

Not looking to a world that changes, but to a Kingdom that is coming.

Maybe that’s why I’m back.
Because the Bride must awaken.
Because the hour is later than we think.
