Invocation To Lady Artemis

In Roman Mythology, she is known as Diana. She is also known as Potnia Theron. Selene, the goddess of the moon, was superseded by Artemis too. She is the goddess of chastity, virginity, the hunt, the moon, wilderness, childbirth, and the natural environment. Her symbols include the bow and arrow, deer, bear, boar, stag, pack of dogs. Artemis is the only goddess in the Twelve Olympians with a mother, Leto. Leto gave birth to Artemis on the island of Delos. Upon her birth, she saw her mother having a hard time giving birth to Apollo, so she assisted her during childbirth, hence also being called the goddess of childbirth.

Artemis, like her followers, is a chaste goddess, and she remained a virgin her entire life. She was a great feminist, and gravely punished men who tried to defile women. She is also known for protecting girls until marriage. Her brother is her male counterpart for protecting boys. She's also a "daddy's girl" to Zeus. Oak groves were especially sacred to her. She's often depicted wearing a short knee-length chiton, equipped with bow and arrows. Even if Artemis was also a goddess of life and healing, she and her brother were also gods of sudden death and disease for their respective genders.

Invocation to lady Artemis:

O Thou Beautiful
Lady of the Moon,
Virgin Artemis,
Mysterious and Triune,
Who bearest a bow
And a quiver of splendor
With elegant arrows
Made of glittering silver,
Sister of Apollo
And daughter of Zeus,
Most Mysterious Woman,
Mystick and Abstruse,
Who art Selene above
Waxing in the sky,
And Hecate below
Waning with a sigh,
And Artemis on earth
Protecting child birth,
Thou Triple Goddess
Of the Ageless Moon,
Lady of the Nocturnal
And Mystick Swoon,
Virgin Artemis
Of Lunar Delight,
Admirable Queen
Of the Starry Night,
Lover of youth
And Guardian of Truth,
Holy Priestess
And Virgin Huntress,
Mighty Protectress,
Full Moon in Darkness,
Holy Virgin,
Holy Guardian,
Blessed Goddess
Of the Cypress Garden,
We invoke thy
Lunar Ecstasy,
And we invoke thy
Mystick Trance!
We invoke thy
Magick Sovereignty,
And we invoke thy
Secret Guidance!
Come, O come, Lady Artemis,
Our beloved Moon,
And fill us with your Mystick
And Wondrous Swoon!
We invoke thee to enrich
Our souls with thy Mystick Power,
Come, O come, in this,
Thine holy hour!
