Amalgam Hymn to the Moon

[I drew phrases from the Taylor and Athanassakis translations of the Orphic Hymns and the Evelyn-White and Athanassakis translations of the Homeric Hymns. For this one, I drew from the Orphic Hymns to Prothyraia, to Selene, and to Artemis; and the Homeric Hymn to Selene.]

Luna, holy goddess of the night sky, you hold the keys to every threshold; you see all that passes on earth. Light-bringing, splendid, gracious and nurturing, you delight in festivities and you loosen girdles, O gentle comforter of souls. Crescent-crowned, bull-horned Moon, you are changeable, eternally cycling, waxing and waning, feminine and masculine, mother of time, mother of all-nourishing dew, mother to every child who cries in the night. Luminous and amber-colored, your arms are eternally outstretched in fond embrace; you delight in peace, in the quiet contentment of night. Torch-bearing maiden of beautiful stars, when you guide your chariot through the night with your veil and long cloak billowing, a heaven-sent glow envelops the earth; sacred beauty arises under your radiance. O long-winged Luna, fair-blossomed, bearer of fruit, lover of horses, you bathe your beautiful skin in the Ocean and drape yourself in your bejeweled raiment. Blessed lady, marshal of the stars, you grant fulfillment and favor to those who honor you; to mortals you are a token of promise, an omen: through your own light, shine and save those who praise you!

I communicated with Aphrodite today and offered her a small seashell in thanks for her friendship and her communicating with me. I asked her what else she would like and I heard her say a cup.

She also told me to communicate with the Roman Goddess Luna through writing as she can help me understand my gifts and powers.

I asked her if Selene was Luna and she said Selene was apart of it, but I’m not sure what the it part means.

Before I said goodbye and blew out her candle I heard her say “Go talk to Luna!” very clearly.

I hear you Aphrodite, I know!

It's summer solstice here and I'm just so happy to be alive and well together with all my loved ones.

Earlier today I could finally sing again without getting dizzy. I could feel music in my soul again, and it made me realise just how fortunate I am to be able to enjoy it all.w

I managed to spend some precious minutes under the deep blue sky, under the bright calming rays of Helios. I could see Selene, discrete yet present in the middle of day. Under a palm tree, I could hear a choir of cicadas and birds, I could hear the leaves and twigs announcing summertime.

I have said this outloud many times, but I'm very thankful for my life and health, and it's hard to put into words just how amazing it was to see the sun, the sky, grass and lovely trees once again, and to know the people who matter the most to me are safe and sound.

Can you offer any info about Selene?

She’s the Titan goddess of the moon, and existed before Artemis and most of the other moon deities. Selene is the only goddess represented as the moon incarnate/the moon as a divine figure. 

Symbols often associated with her: A lunar disc/crescent, bull’s horns, a shining cloak.

The Romans called her Luna.

Hesiod, Theogony 371 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C8th or C7th B.C.): “And Theia was subject in love to Hyperion and bare great Helios (Sun) and clear Selene (Moon) and Eos (Dawn) who shines upon all that are on earth and upon the deathless Gods who live in the wide heaven.”

Read this as: Her parents were Theia and Hyperion. Siblings included Eos and Helios.

She had 50 children with her sleeping lover Endymion, and a couple with Zeus. (Endymion was granted eternal youth and immortality by Zeus and placed in a state of eternal slumber in a cave near the peak of Lydian Mount Latmos. His heavenly bride consorted with him there in the night. via Theoi.com)

Children of Selene include: Ersa (goddess of dew), the Menai (months) and possibly the Horai (seasons)
