Summertime, and the living's easy
I like music and being Wiccan.
Selene, the Greek Goddess of the Moon, is also known in the Roman pantheon as Luna. Usually depicted with a pale face, she wears a half-moon on her head and often carries a torch. While Selene is the Moon Goddess, she is also known as, “the moon personified into a divine being.” It is said that after Selene’s brother, Helios, completes his journey across the sky, Selene, bathed in the Earth’s oceans, rises and completes her sky journey riding in a chariot pulled by two white horses. Revered by many, “…Selene is the fruitful mother, the Star Goddess, the Sky Goddess, the keeper of the silver wheel of stars…honored at the Full Moon and the days of the Full and New Moon were set aside for her worship…as Luna, she had temples at Rome on the Aventine and Palantine hills.”
In her aspect as one of the triple Goddesses, Selene fulfills the role of the Mother, depicted appropriately by the full moon. Generally, Artemis is seen as her Maiden aspect and Hecate the Crone. Sacred to Selene are: the colors white, silver and light gray, the scents/flowers myrtle, willow, white poppy, white rose and wall flower. Monday is generally associated with Selene as well (“moon-day”). Selene influences agriculture, anything domestic, travel, long life, medicine and visions.

My Yule altar :) I only regret that I didn’t have the foresight get a sprig of holly when I saw some.
This is such a gorgeous altar.
