Pagan Portals - Artemis: Goddess of the Wild Hunt & Sovereign Heart Paperback – 29 Mar. 2024

Before reading this book I had not felt a connection to the Greek pantheon, however discovering this book has been interesting and thought provoking. The author has provided an accessible, reliable source of information about the goddess Artemis, offering the reader the opportunity to delve deeper into those aspects that pique their interest.In each chapter historical references give the original source material, then proceeds to explore ideas of how these practices may be evolved, or developed, for us to use today. The author reminds the reader throughout that it is up to the individual to forge their relationship with Artemis, or any godd (the authors spelling for inclusivity), that the book contains suggestions and to use these as a starting point to find what works best for you.There are meditations given to enable the reader to connect with the subject covered in that chapter, together with suggestions for solitary and group workings. I particularly like that the author deals with the fact that Artemis is multifaceted, can be caring and generous, or cruel and vengeful, with an emphasis on justice. This does not make Her frightening or dangerous to work with if anything it encourages being clear in your communication.There is a good bibliography, with websites also listed, which I find very useful, as it gives the authors sources, allowing the reader to undertake their own research. This book is ideal for someone wishing to know more about Artemis but would also be of interest to those who already have a relationship, to perhaps discover new ways of enhancing their personal practice.This compact book is a treasure trove of information and a joy to read.
