About this episode
Step softly into the dawn-lit woods and meet Artemis — goddess of the hunt, the moon, and the untamed wilderness. In this episode, we explore her origins, myths, and sacred duality: protector of the young, bringer of both healing and wrath, and the embodiment of sovereignty and self-trust. From her moonlit birth on Delos to her fierce defense of boundaries, Artemis reminds us that freedom is sacred — and that the wild within us deserves tending, not taming. We’ll journey through her most powerful stories — Orion, Actaeon, Callisto, and more — and close with a spell for Artemis, The Huntress’s Light , to call in protection and self-sovereignty beneath the full moon. Topics include: Artemis’s role as moon goddess and protector Myths of Orion, Actaeon, and Callisto Festivals, offerings, and correspondences A modern spell for sovereignty and protection If this episode speaks to you, share it with a kindred spirit, follow Witch Beneath the Willow for more folklore and spellcraft, or visit my Ko-fi to support the podcast and my magic under the willow.
