#mother🏹🦌

[livinglycan]

I find my relationship with Artemis interesting. I feel like she's my mother, I see her as a parent and guardian, we know this. I feel kinship with her. But I feel like it's in a different way than others.

I'm her hunting dog. I want to curl around her, protect her, chase things for her, sink my teeth into them for her, etc. She's my mother in the way that people call their pets their kids.

Ya know?

🦌 Adult (25+)

🏹 Oathbound devotee/worshiper of my beloved Patron, Divine Mother, and Queen; Mistress Artemis-Diana Potna Thea

Praise to divine Mistress Artemis, architect of my soul and eternal keeper of my heart.

She of the wolves and of the deer. She of the hunt and of the fire. Swift running archer who haunts the forest wilds and roams in the night. The cresent moon, her silver bow. She who dwells at the mountain peak. She of the Earth and the Heavens.

Bestower of death with her showering arrows. Strong-voiced worker from afar who whispers, “Kneel, or be knelt.” Beautiful empress who bears sword and reins on her golden throne. She of the lake, the marsh, and the harbor. Far-shooter. Light-bringer. Dawn-breaker.

Divine virgin, pure and revered, who soothes. Celestial midwife who nurses the young and patron of childbirth. She of the hymns and pastures. Singer of divine songs and leader of the dance. Sweet-garlanded lady of clamors. She of the white bird, the toad, and the berry seed. Bright goddess.

Beloved and loving high priestess of the bear's jaw, whose hymns only beasts can sing. Willow-bound and royal of cedar, walnut, and laurel. Immortal torch-bearer. Ancestral guardian who stands before the door.

Goddess queen of beasts and nymphs. Maiden. Death. Animal. Feral child. Holy mother. Praise be to Lady Diana, deliverer and savior.

🏹Yandere! Platonic! Artemis with a Child!reader (Scenario)🦌:

Tw: Yandere themes, Kidnapping, Stalking, Implied child neglect, implied murder, Manipulation.

She watches you. She always does. Your innocuous outlook towards life and people has her intrigued. Whilst your precocious talent at hunting, has wrapped her around your small fingers. Artemis was pleasantly surprised at the fact that a child as fragile as you, was already becoming a full fledged hunter.

She was over the moon, when she noticed how you respected her and her twin brother regarding their laws of hunt. She was certain that you were no ordinary child. Perhaps, the child of hunters, with the way you hunt proficiently.

That didn’t matter to her in slightest, if anything she was in ire of your parents. How could they leave a defenseless child wondering in the vastness of the wild? Have they no concern for their child? Artemis maternal instinct has been stroked and its fire won’t be quenched until your safety was guaranteed.

In any case, she decided to approach the young child in the form of her sacred animal. A deer. After all, she doesn’t wish to frighten you at all. Like a doe sheltering her fawns from predators teeth, she too wants to protect you from the neglect of your parents.

She waited and waited for you to come, so she could get answer from you. You can’t imagine her joy, when she finally laid her silver irises on you. You were adorably strong. An oxymoron, yet she didn’t mind. Once she gets you under her protection, you’ll be stronger that she vowed as the goddess of hunt.

Unaware of silver doe eyes, you were beaming with contagious happiness as you have just finished hunting a rabbit. Maybe then, your ma and pa will be proud of you following their step. Instead of being ignored, it broke your tiny heart into pieces. But that didn’t stop you from trying, as you were tenacious. However, your train of thought was interrupted by the cries of a deer.

Pivoting around, they met with its own mesmerizing silver eyes. It was not like any deer, they’ve seen in their hunting journey. No. It was larger in structure, with enchanting grey white antler that closely resembles the hues of the moon, and grey-ish fur with strange marking all through its body.

“Oh, Hello there. My apologies, if I bothered you. I was just hunting, so I could provide for my family.” Ever so polite, too. Yet, it perturbs her that she can sense a melancholy aura surrounding the child. As if they’re lonely, so Artemis decide to gently poke her. May haps, they will be recipient toward her affection.

To say the least, she was platonically enamored with them. She knew why you did visit her forests often. It was impressive you taught yourself the art of hunting, but it was all for the wrong reasons. Hunting is a sacred activity that free the soul, yet you used to appease your ungrateful parents. You didn’t know any better, but soon you will.

Her anger towards your parents was very familiar, to when Niobe mocked her mother. Now, she is certain that you are in need of her guidance and protection. By Olympus, she’ll provide it and more to ensure your happiness is met. However, she has a business to take care of first.

She stayed with you, until you drowsed to sleep and carried you on her back to her temple. That way no beast, hunter, and deity will ever harm you. You’re officially part of her hunters. With that done, She shifted back into her human form, grabbed her sliver bow, and had began her hunt with only one thought on her mind. Your safety, even if it meant getting rid of those horrid excuse of a parents. Artemis knew she will be better than them, after all she won’t let her child out of her sight at all.

“So long you are within my forests, you safety is ensured. Any transgressions against you or your happiness will be dealt with. All I ask of you is to stay here, after all you witnessed the cruelty of the outer world. Here, you will only find serenity and freedom under my care.”

I love working with Artemis. I'm not a woman, and that made me very weary to work with her since I'm a trans boy and so much of this hellsite paints her as a man hating lesbian (we all know she's an ace or aro (or both) icon who cannot be stopped 😼) but like. She does. NOT care. She supports me and I love her so much for that. She's been helping me learn more about me being a lycanthrope. I felt so weird calling myself a "child of Artemis" because almost everyone I see doing that or worshipping her are women and lesbians, I am a gay trans man and I feel as though she is my parent on some level (hell, the tag for her on this blog is MOTHER) . But I'm honestly a guard dog for her, a hunting dog even. I want to protect women, I want to hunt for Artemis.

Not with a bow and arrow but claws and teeth, painting as the wind rushes through my fur and my paws beat down on the ground.

I want to rest my head on her lap with my furry body curled around her, with her running her hands through my fur.

Anyways, that's enough of me rambling. Have a good existence everyone ^^

(Also, physical nonhumans who also worship the old gods, Greek or not, I'd LOVE to hear your experiences with it :3)

I wanted to figure out if this necklace with a sea shell on it would work as a pendulum, and it did. Asked a few obvious yes or no questions, ones that were yes swung forward and backward, the ones that were no swung side to side.

Then I asked some less obvious ones that didn't have to do that much with me, like if she liked me associating her with the ocean because the moon pulls the tides (the answer was yes!), and if she liked my silly little offerings and things on her alter, like little ceramic squirrels and rabbits (also yes!).

I honestly didn't think that it would work, but I'm really glad it did.

[livinglycan]

Happy Kharisteria everyone! I saw a stray cat on my way to school today and it lead me.... Nowhere. But it was fun to follow! It was scraggly and orange :3

[livinglycan]

Rearranged my alter to Artemis today! I also got a few gem stones which I added, because I thought they look pretty and I hope she appreciates that (I feel like a silly little crow bringing her shiny things kind of).

Also, I may or may not have gotten said gem stones from a dig kit because buying them alone is expensive and I find dig kits really really fun.

Artemis and Fallow deer I drew because I got so many sketch books for Christmas

[livinglycan]

!!!

It was not there when I was looking two days ago so I guess praying to the gods worked so yipee!!!

[livinglycan]

I got new stuff for my alter for Christmas!

^ The new additions!

And I got the plushie! It arrived a bit early so I got it on Christmas and not sometime in January ^^

Here's Lyre! ^^ She's so soft oh my gods

[livinglycan]

I got bored and was scrolling through TikTok and saw some other hellenic pagans on tere trying out a divination method called the keyboard method so I tried that and after a few minutes it was done and do you want to know what Lady Artemis said to me?

"You, me, and the deer."

LIKE THESE SIGNS 😭

[livinglycan]

I have this figure that holds one of those tiny air plants so it looks like hair and I put it on Artemis's akter but I keep forgetting to take care of it and it looks so pathetic and dry omg 😭

My memory is so awful I really shouldn't have living things like that on my alter 😞

[livinglycan]

I might move my alter to Artemis from on top of my dresser to this desk I don't use since it has more room, and is under my (loft) bed and I feel like that would be comforting. To have her watch over (under 💀) me while I'm in one of my most vulnerable states.
