Description

The goddess Artemis is best known today as a goddess of the hunt and of the new moon, yet to those who worshipped at her ancient temples and sanctuaries she used to be far more than just that. To them she used to be a powerful and complex goddess whose influence spread everywhere during the ancient world. She used to be worshipped and celebrated as a goddess of childbirth, women, song, dance and of wild animals. As the daughter of the Titan goddess Leto by the Olympian Fathre god Zeus, Artemis would prove herself from the moment of her own birth, by assisting her mother with the birth of her own twin brother, Apollo. Zeus, who fathered children with many other goddesses and mortals, had a special affection for ARtemis from the start and gave her the entire gifts she asked for and more, making her one of the crucial powerful of the Olympian goddesses. Artemis, Virgin Goddess of the Sun & Moon by Sorita D’Este, explores the myths, powers and worship of this beautiful goddess. This is a throrough study with details of her temples and sanctuaries, the festivals which have been held in honour of her, the roles she fulfilled in the myths, animals which have been sacred to her, her relationship with her virgin attendants and other deities, in addition to the many titles which have been bestowed upon her. This groundbreaking book provides the most comprehensive study of this enduring goddess to date. —— About the Writer Sorita D’Este is a creator and researcher who lives and works in London, UK.She has a passion for the mysteries and gods of the western world and much of her work is focused on the spritiual and magical practices of ancient Greece, Rome and Britian.
