ARROW – ARTEMIS, Tatomir

ARTEMIS was the great Olympian goddess of hunting, wilderness and wild animals. She was also a goddess of childbirth, and the protectress of the girl child up to the age of marriage. Her twin brother Apollon was similarly the protector of the boy child. Together the two gods were also bringers of sudden death and disease—Artemis targetted women and girls, and Apollon men and boys.

The old gods are returning, or have they always been here?

AETHER – SELENA, Tatomir

SELENE was the Titan goddess of the moon. She was depicted as a woman either riding side saddle on a horse or in a chariot drawn by a pair of winged steeds. Her lunar sphere or crescent was represented as either a crown set upon her head or as the fold of a raised, shining cloak. Sometimes she was said to drive a team of oxen and her lunar crescent was likened to the horns of a bull. Selene’s great love was the shepherd prince Endymion. The beautiful boy was granted eternal youth and immortality by Zeus and placed in a state of eternal slumber in a cave near the peak of Lydian Mount Latmos. There his heavenly bride descended to consort with him in the night.

AETHER the pure essence where the gods lived and which they breathed, analogous to the air breathed by mortals

When the synchronicities get increasingly unlikely, reality seems like it’s talking to you directly, events are lining up in a way that seems impossible, and so on, remember: people have been doing this all over the world since before recorded history. You might be on your own, but you’re not alone. Others have been here before you and others will be here after you. Be humble as you pass through the stream.
