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.
