She Who Hunts: Artemis: The Goddess Who Changed the World by Carla Ionescu

She Who Hunts Carla Ionescu

[artemisiansanctuary]

“Artemis was a highly versatile goddess worshipped over a large swathe of the ancient world, from Iberia to Afghanistan to Egypt. Although a goddess of the wilds, her various roles made her very present in the lives of the ancient Greeks, literally from birth through the attainment of adulthood and beyond. More than anything, she was the goddess of transitions, marking those places both physical and conceptual between different states of being—wild and civilized, human and animal, child and adult, maiden and mother, slave and free. Often, she helped her worshippers to cross those boundaries, sometimes she forced them, and those who tried to resist quickly learned much about the anger of the goddess.”

I refuse to listen to the twisted lines that men try to paint on the goddess as if it were gospel. I refuse to accept a lie that she would bow to a man. That she would betray her lovers, her daughters or those women she claims as hers. Praise to our Divine Lady, Astrateia, Potnia Theron, free and wild and wholly her own

Could men stop painting Artemis completely or at the very minimum stop painting her naked, sexualized and dainty. It pisses me off. She’s not for you, her nakedness is not for you to see and to sexualize and she is goddess of hunting, wild places, the moon, childbirth. A fertility goddess. A war goddess. What part of that is dainty?

They’re threatened by her strength and it makes me angry.

We need towering statues and elaborate temples with fancy mountain paths to the goddesses. I think that would fix me
