I was married before I knew there was such a thing as paganism. I was a mother before I became a polytheist. In other words, as long as I have been a pagan, I have been well out of Artemis’ realm. In fact, as a polytheist, I jumped right into Aphrodite’s.
I honor Artemis among the gods and I love her as I love them all, but I have never been one of hers.
But as a mother of daughters? They are hers, and I will pray to her for them.
