Moon Deities

Moon Deities

Artemis is probably the most well known moon goddess in our culture and is
associated with the waxing moon. The Greek worshipped and paid homage
to her on full moon nights by revelling in the forest under the moon’s light.

Diana is the Roman version of Artemis. Often Diana is portrayed riding
the moon with a bow in her hands. Diana too was worshipped out in the
open so that she could look down on her faithfuls.

Juno the Roman sky and moon goddess brought out her women worshippers on the new moon.

Hecate, queen of the night rules spirits and ghosts and is the
patroness of witchcraft. The Greek moon goddess is accompanied by dogs
when she comes out at night carrying a torch. Worshippers pay tribute
to her on the dark moon nights by leaving offerings at her statues.
