Artemis Deity - Blog Posts

Have you had dreams about your deity(ies)?

For me, I have had a bunch! Just wondering what your experiences are.

Athena: My first deity dream! Basically I dreamt that I was outside a temple (not Greek, but I knew it was a temple somehow) and there was a lot of fog.

I was in the garden and holding a bracelet, which was the latest offering I had given her at the time, but her name was misspelled!

Suddenly I hear a voice saying, "She's glad her (?) is back (?)"

And I woke up. What does it mean? No idea.

Artemis: probably the most direct ones.

I dreamt that I was in a shop, and they had a bow and arrow section for some reason.

I started shooting with one of them and realized how great and nice it felt.

Then I woke up; I made her a cardboard bow and arrow because of it.

The second one, I was commissioning a lady to make me a doll of Artemis, but instead of saying her name, I kept saying "my goddess."

I was getting frustrated because I couldn't find a photo of Artemis to show her on my phone.

It was like she never existed—also, the lady was making the doll an e-girl for some reason.

I took it as Artemis wanting a doll that looked like her, since I had given Athena an offering like that.

Hermes: This one is short, but basically I was an old lady that had dedicated her life to Hermes, and I went out to my garden, and I had a bunch of statues of him.

And I woke up.

That's all; if they are just random stuff I dreamt of or actual signs, I have no idea.

Still interesting, though.

Did you have traits of your deities as a kid?

Recently I realized I had traits of the deities I ended up worshipping and thought it was interesting.

Athena: I have always been a curious child seeking wisdom. Instead of telling me bedtime stories, my dad would ask me, "What do you want to know about?" and he would put on a YouTube video about the topic.

I also used to follow those shitty "did you know…?" Ig accounts; I just wanted to know more no matter the topic.

For her goddess of crafts aspect, that's the one I most strongly connect with.

I LOVE crafting. Ever since I was a kid, I literally craft something new every day, and if not, I'm thinking/looking for what to craft next.

Artemis: I was obsessed with the movie "Brave" as a kid; I wanted to be a hunter and live in the forest so badly.

I had a bunch of toy bows and arrows that I would play with all day, so basically I wanted to be like Artemis.

I know I would have gone crazy if I knew about her at that age, lol. (And I did go "Wait, that's literally me" when I learned about her.)

Selene: My name is literally Moon (Luna). I have always been obsessed with the moon since I was young.

One time I was looking at her, and my parents called out to me, but I was in some kind of trance just looking at her.

My dad had to touch me so I would stop staring at her.

Although I don't worship him (but I'm thinking about it), it just reminded him so badly of him I had to include it.

Hermes: My friend Group was "enemies" with another girl, I would serve as the messenger between us.

Sometimes I would modify the message to make them mad at each other just for fun.

I randomly remembered and was like, "Wait, that's so Hermes."

So, did you have traits of your deities as a child?

I’m thinking about wrapping a deer antler I have with copper wire and wrapping crystals with the antler as apart of Artemis’ altar. I think it’ll look nice and mix a couple of her offerings together

After beginning my work with Artemis and Hecate I’ve noticed repeating numbers so much more. Everytime I’m having an issue with something I just have an extreme urge to check the time and it’s my goddesses giving me insight. Its crazy how much the meaning in the numbers relate to me

I asked Lady Artemis to show herself to me through the Temperance card and these two jumped out of the deck! Nice to see Lord Apollo and Lady Artemis.
