Description
Artemis goddess mug, a 13oz white ceramic mug printed with original Mystic Grove artwork. One side carries Artemis with her title, Huntress of the moonlit wild. Turn the mug and her name sits in spaced capitals under a small crescent moon and two leaf sprigs.
The artwork is painted in soft, natural colours on plain white, so it reads like an illustration rather than a slogan. It is as at home on a kitchen shelf as it is on an altar.
Who Artemis is
Artemis is the Greek goddess of the wild places, twin sister of Apollo, born on the island of Delos. She roams the forests and mountains with her bow and her hounds, protecting wild creatures, the young and women.
In later times she became a goddess of the moon, and her silver arrows are moonlight.
Her symbols on the Artemis goddess mug
- Bows. Her silver bow, the mark of the huntress.
- Deer. Her sacred animal, and the hinds that drew her chariot.
- Hounds. Her hunting companions, loyal and swift.
A Artemis goddess mug for your practice
A mug is one of the simplest ways to keep a goddess close. The first brew of the day becomes a small pause, and some people keep a goddess mug just for moon tea or for a cup poured as an offering.
In modern practice she is often paired with moonstone and moss agate, for the moon and the wild places. She suits walkers, dog lovers and anyone at home in the woods.
Correspondences are traditional and offered as part of a practice, not as a substitute for medical or professional advice.
