Artemis is the goddess of sovereign solitude — virgin here meaning belonging-to-oneself, not chaste. Patron of women's autonomy, wild places, the moon. Honor at the new moon and at dawn.
she reminds you
the greeks bargained with their gods; they never begged. bring something true. she favours the clever offering over the lavish one.
