Yesterday, my novel Loving Artemis, an endearing tale of revolution, love and marriage was published by Thorned Heart Press. I found out that the day before that — August 15th — was the feast day of the Goddess Artemis (which is Greek) also known as the Goddess Diana (Roman).
I found this out from Kittredge Cherry, minister and publisher of the important newsletter QSpirit. You can read her excellent article here.
Even though I wrote a novel titled Loving Artemis, I didn’t realize that I was so strongly guided by the Goddess. Since writing for me is an intuitive process, I hadn’t thought about it previously.
However, in exchanging information with Kittredge, I realize that the Goddess has long been with me.
In the novel Loving Artemis, my main character promises her Greek grandmother, Yiayia, on her deathbed that she will never marry a man — which (while I didn’t know it at time of writing) the Goddess Artemis or Diana vows also.
Also, there was a time when I spent many hours at the Philadelphia Museum of Art where a sculpture of the Goddess Artemis (Diana) is at the top of the main staircase.
