Artemis

O Artemis,

May the force be with you

May your destiny be into the light

For the New Moon 22.11.2014

Like Hermes as Logos is the Voice of the Light (THE MAGUS), Artemis is the Soul of Light (THE HIGH PRIESTESS). This archetype is the source of worldwide legends of Virgin-Mothers. This feminine receptivity is the path of the mystic.  Artemis joins the mythical to the causal, a Path from Self-Realization to God-Realization.  On the Path of THE HIGH PRIESTESS, we learn to untie the knot between the mind and the soul, through meditation.

Artemis, as THE HIGH PRIESTESS, is the bridge across the ABYSS of the transcendent imagination.  Without her as guide, the soul's immeasurable depths yawn wide, threatening to swallow us in the Void.  We only perceive personifications of gods and goddeses through the anima-bridge of imagination.

She mediates between the known and the unknown; she mystifies and insists upon uncertainties.  As archetype of psychic consciousness, Artemis bridges awareness of our unconsciousness.  She reflects a reality of ambiguity, indecision, and uncertainty.  She reminds us of the "dark" side of life.
