Here's a devotional piece I drew for Lady Selene <33 it's based on Bouguereau's painting titled Evening Mood, as it always reminded me of her . Hope you like it <3

I'm trying something a little different with my art , as in I'm trying to include more colors to make it pop more if that makes sense :')

Also I added stars around Lady Selene's crescent moon because she's often described as being surrounded by stars , as if they dance around her in a way .

HECATE-ARTEMIS-SELENE IDENTIFICATION

There is a rather large number of modern pagans who worship Hecate, Artemis and Selene as a single goddess in three forms: maiden, mother, crone. This view is most popular with wiccans and wicca-adjacent witches, but the ancients had their own way of uniting these Goddesses. In Orphic hymns Hecate, Selene and Artemis share several epithets, tools, sacred animals and even areas of supplication. This view would become prominent in the Roman Empire as well, when each goddess, as a part of Trivia, represented her at a different layer of the cosmos: Selene/Luna was the Celestial hypostasis of Trivia, Diana/Artemis – the Mundane (as in walking the earth), and Hecate – the Chthonic. This identification is similar to what happened with Apollo and Helios, where cults influenced each other so much that the gods started sharing epithets and places in cosmologies/theogonies.

What do you think about such an identification and how does that affect your practice? I'd love to know more about modern hellenic polytheists and their practices.

A Great Selene Posting

My 1st attempt to photograph a Full Lunar Eclipse... (Please bare with me 🥹)

Eclipse

-A poem by Me

Once again I have seen you shine bright at the sky

Yet your colour changed to a dim dark red, why ?

Of course an eclipse has once again arrived tonight

What could have caused the dimming of your light

Many do indeed show their stories to tell around

From science to legends, from folktales all-round

From Bakunawa, Thessalians witches and more

The Earth's Shadow hiding the surface we adore

Yet here we are not alone, as we all watch above

The Moon's colour likened to the colour of love

A dim gentle red, which would soon be gone

Fleeting but an experience that cannot be undone

Whatever your colour may be, my eyes look at you

For the feelings of adoration and My love is true

Even with light eclipsed, To you my Selene above

My even radiant companion, who filled me with love.

Lunar eclipse

The Lunar Eclipse

Moon Hiding on Earth's shadow

Such amazing sight

Bakunawa

Bad Bakunawa

Stay away from her presence

You evil serpent

Thessalian witches

Thessalian witches

Shan't take her sacred ichor

Let her fly in peace

The Unconquerable Moon

- a Poem again by me

Oh glorious, great and bright unconquerable Moon

Beauty never tarnishes, yet grows more over time

Shining bright, full orbed radiant as a full Moon

Her presence is a comfort, A Poem Would rhyme

From legends and stories she glows unconquered

From the legends of eclipses around the world

The moon flies on steady and showing concord

As it zips around our silent small blue homeworld

From Bakunawa, the Thessalian witches and typhon

The Moon shines defiantly against their aggression

Eager to glow, comfort, guide, and to carry on

Until her time ends as she moves through at dawn

An eclipse may have covered her in earth's shadow

And a new moon may, make the sun to outshine her

The Moon unconquerable, moves to Eb and to Flow

For I'm never alone, and I'm always with her forever.

(Moon after eclipse, so unconquerable, not even Bakunawa, Typhon, and the Thessalian witches can defeat the ever blessed Selene)

Device used in the photography

-FL700A60 (telescope, Focal length 700mm, Aperture 60mm)

-Redmi Note 10 Pro, (I need a new phone, suggest me one)

Yeah I really love the Moon, eclipse or not, whatever the phase, if I see Blessed Selene, I am very happy!!!

I told lady selene how I wish I could see her more often

And now I see the moon every night!

It's truly is lovely, thank you lady selene 🕯️🌖!

[mistermaenad]

Took my dogs outside and noticed that Selene seems to be extra bright tonight!

I told her how beautiful she was, then ran around and played with my dog in the darkness (He's never gotten this playful before because he's still settling into his new home)
