This Made Me Cry Because It's So Utterly Beautiful And Powerful, I Swear.

This made me cry because it's so utterly beautiful and powerful, I swear.

How come I waited more than 20 fucking years to learn more about the first Goddess that fascinated me, way before I knew paganism was still alive? Silly me.

Fun fact: Artemis was strongly associated with water and rivers

what I love about the greek gods is that every time you think you know them they are like “hey I actually have an aspect/epithet that you’ve never heard of before”

Well, thank you my friend @solostinmysea , now I'm crying 🥺

In Greek mythology, Callisto was a hunting companion of the Goddess Artemis. Described as a daughter of King Lycaon or sometimes a nymph. There is a version of her story where Zeus seduces her disguised as Artemis, which was the inspiration behind my first sketch... but I'm also very into the idea that Artemis had feelings for Callisto as well. 🌙✨🌿🐻

Sekhmet, She who slays the enemies of Amun-Re

I request your vigor and zeal as I confront my difficulties that I've been faced with.

If my voice trembles, shift it into a mighty roar.

If my feet shake, steady them so I shall stand tall and proud.

May your belly be filled with the blood of your enemies, great lady of war.

And may I overcome this obstacle with fiery dynamism and unshatterable courage.

Dua Sekhmet!

Hail my beloved Faðir 🔥
