passed through old age and died with the old moon, being reborn three days later. as he was the restorer of life and health, parents would pray to him to take away their children's illnesses and family sorrows. other sources have a female version, myesytsa, a lovely moon maiden who was the consort of dazhbog the sun god, and became mother of the stars. myesyats brings healing and family harmony. selene selene is the greek goddess specially associated with the full moon, sometimes forming a triplicity with diana and hecate, the twin sister of helios the sun god. selene rises from the sea in her chariot drawn by white horses at night and rides high in the sky in her full moon. at the time of the full moon, she is invoked by women for fertility and by all who seek the power of intuition and

oon aspect. the most famous one still central to modern wicca is diana, roman goddess of the moon, the hunt and fertility. though, like her greek counterpart, artemis, she was worshipped originally as the maiden aspect of the moon, in time she came to represent the full moon also. sometimes the triple lunar goddess of modern wicca is represented by the classical deities, diana (the greek artemis, selene and hecate, being maiden, mother and wise woman or crone. isis, the egyptian goddess who was both moon goddess and mother of the sun, is also a potent focus. if you are going to use a specific goddess form, study images of her in the days before the ritual or if you have a favourite statue hold it for a few minutes before bedtime. i have a wooden figure of the moon mother goddess sold to me

she is symbolized by a lion headed woman, wearing red; she even has titles like the scarlet lady. in rome, lilith was known as diana. diana is a goddess of the hunt, the moon, and childbirth. she was also known as the virgin goddess. artemis, the greek equivalent of diana, is also a goddess of the hunt, childbirth, the moon and also known as the virgin goddess. artemis is also closely related to selene, yet another moon goddess. in hinduism, lilith goes by the name kali. kali is a goddess identified with death, carnage, and the feminine principle. she often called mother kali and the mother goddess who is the consort of the god shiva, the destroyer. kali is depicted as a naked woman with black skin, who wear a necklace of skulls and holds a bloody sword. similar to the babylonian account

the peculiar characteristics which hecate assumes when she usurps the place of persephone, the rightful mistress of page 94 the lower world, we are reminded of the various superstitions with regard to spectres, witchcraft &c, which have, even down to our own times, exerted so powerful an influence over the minds of the ignorant, and which would appear to owe their origin to a remote pagan source. selene (luna. just as helios personified the sun, so his sister selene represented the moon, and was supposed to drive her [87]chariot across the sky whilst her brother was reposing after the toils of the day. when the shades of evening began to enfold the earth, the two milk-white steeds of selene rose out of the mysterious depths of oceanus. seated in a silvery chariot, and accompanied by her da

greek colonists found already established, when they first settled in asia minor, and whom they identified with their own greek artemis, though she really possessed but one single attribute in common with their home deity. metra was a twofold divinity, and represented, in one phase of her character, all-pervading love; in the other she was the light of heaven; and as artemis, in her character as selene, was the only greek female divinity who represented celestial light, the greek settlers, according to their custom of fusing foreign deities into their own, seized at once upon this point of resemblance, and decided that metra should henceforth be regarded as identical with artemis. in her character as the love which pervades all nature, and penetrates everywhere, they believed her also to

lawgiver, who put an end to it by substituting in its place one, which was hardly less barbarous, namely, the scourging of youths, who were whipped on the altars of the brauronian artemis in the most cruel manner; sometimes indeed they expired under the lash, in which case their mothers, far from lamenting their fate, are said to have rejoiced, considering this an honourable death for their sons. selene-artemis. hitherto we have seen artemis only in the various phases of her terrestrial character; but just as her brother apollo drew into himself by degrees the attributes of that more ancient divinity helios, the sun-god, so, in like manner, she came to be identified in later times [97]with selene, the moon-goddess, in which character she is always represented as wearing on her forehead a g
