Artemis

Moon Goddess, Queen of the Witches, Huntress of Souls (with a torch in her hand, symbol of the primer fire, she's sometimes depicted by Demeter, whom she accompanied in the search after Persephone in the Underwold, and then she's misidentified with Hecate, who's consistently seen carrying two torches), Woman who runs with the wolves, Healing Woman or Medicine Woman, Maiden deity of wild places and plants, protector of nature and animals, whose favorite ones where bears, deers, hounds or wolves, hares, cats and other animals and birds associated with the Moon. Artemis, who is every bit as beautiful as Aphrodite, makes sacred--solitude, natural and primitive living. She stands bathed in moonlight, her bow raised in a "calling down the moon" ritual gesture, like witches were said to actually being able to do. Cultivate decisiveness and self-esteem with Artemis; her graceful stand reflects the awe that ancient people felt toward those wise wild women who where whole unto themselves, regardless of law, dogma, science, religion, patriarchy or the status quo )O(
