Artemis








"She lived in the woods and guarded nature by day and hunted at night. She is strong, independent and fierce. She is the spirit of the wild woods and her magic is in being true to herself and makes no apologies or excuses to anyone. If you just ask, She will give you guidance, straight and swift as an arrow.



She is a virgin Goddess,

Virginity symbolized autonomy and independence, freedom to take lovers or reject them.
Virgin meant one-in-herself, to be true, to her own nature and instinct.
(The virgin forest is not barren or unfertilized but rather a place that is especially fruitful and has multiplied because it has taken life into itself and transformed it, giving birth naturally and taking dead things back to be recycled. It is virgin because it is unexploited, not in man's control).



She is the huntress and the guardian of all animals. She travels with nymphs, and she is also the symbol of solitude. The symbol of freedom, she is always changing just as the moon changes each night. She is known as a healer, a midwife and helps those overwhelmed."










*Waah, sudah lama tidak menggambar..
Hmm.. saya selalu senang membaca cerita, dongeng, maupun mitologi, terutama mitologi Yunani. Dan diantara dewa - dewi yang ada, Artemis selalu jadi favorit saya.
Saya gak tau bagaimana wajahnya sebenarnya, tetapi menurut imajinasi saya, begitulah dia..
