Let me introduce you to Goddess Diana, the Hunt and the Moon goddess. She is also known as Artemis in Greek mythology and is a prominent figure in Roman and Greek mythology.
Diana is often considered the daughter of Jupiter (Zeus in Greek mythology) and Latona (Leto in Greek), making her the twin sister of Apollo. She was born on the island of Delos, where her mother sought refuge from the jealousy and wrath of Juno (Hera in Greek), Jupiter’s wife.
As a hunter, she is depicted carrying a bow and arrows, ready to pursue and capture wild animals.
She is also associated with the moon. In Roman mythology, she was often called “Diana Lucifera” (Diana the Light-bringer), and in Greek mythology, she was known as “Phoebe” or “Selene,” representing the moon’s brightness. Her association with the moon linked her to cycles and time, and she was sometimes invoked for matters related to the lunar calendar.
Despite her being a virgin, Goddess Diana is known as a guardian and protector of women and children, particularly during childbirth. She was believed to ensure safe deliveries and protect women during pregnancy.
Goddess Diana’s Message to Humanity
“Dear Children of the Earth,
I am Diana, the goddess of the moon, the hunt, and the wild places. I watch over the natural world and the creatures that inhabit it. I am the embodiment of independence, strength, and the untamed spirit that resides within each of you.
My message to humanity is one of harmony with the Earth and respect for all living beings. Just as I protect the wilderness and its creatures, I urge you to be stewards of the land and guardians of the animals. Cherish the beauty and diversity of nature, for it is a reflection of the divine.
Find strength in your independence and embrace the power of self-reliance. Seek the path that resonates with your true self, and do not be afraid to assert your autonomy. Remember that you are capable of great things, just as the arrow flies true to its mark.
As the moon waxes and wanes, remember the cycles of life. Embrace change and transformation, for they are the essence of existence. Know that in darkness, there is also light, and in endings, there are beginnings.
Protect and empower women and children, for they are the bearers of life and the future of humanity. Uphold their rights, safety, and well-being as you would protect the sacredness of the forest.
In the stillness of the night, look to the moon and feel my presence. Connect with the natural world, find solace in its beauty, and honor the wild within you.
May you walk in harmony with the Earth, respect all life, and find strength in your inner wilderness. Embrace your independence, and let your spirit soar like an arrow released from the bow.
