The Grecian Artemis is the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, the moon, vegetation and childbirth. Also known as Goddess Diana in Roman mythology.
A huntress aware of her surroundings, using her articulate wisdom to aim for what she has her careful and curious eye on. Earth and Moon connected.
I can also see Artemis’ connection to the Astrological sign Sagittarius, the centaur. A fiery mutual sign also depicted with a bow and arrow; the Archer.
Do you know anything about Artemis? Please share your insights with me, I’m curious.
I like to work with her archetype when I want to focus my energy into something with intention and dedication. I realise now that I’ve been working with her archetype especially this year, fine tuning my aim with the intention of my feet on the earth and heart beating with the moon. My planetary ruler this year is also the Moon, so loving that connection too. Honestly only putting the pieces together now… I enjoy following a creative spark and then watching and receiving the confirmation unfold once I’ve immersed myself in it… does this also happen to you?
Clearly I made my own arrow and moon crown haha would have loved a real bow and arrow etc but I had to make with do, it was fun to create.
A huge thank you to Carl Barty for helping me with this shoot, I’ll be weaving his work into one of my Self Capture’s soon.
