Description
Selene goddess mug, a 13oz white ceramic mug printed with original Mystic Grove artwork. One side carries Selene with her title, The moon herself. 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 Selene is
Selene is the moon in Greek story, sister of Helios the sun and Eos the dawn. Each night she drives her silver chariot across the sky, pulled by white horses.
She fell in love with the shepherd Endymion, who was given an endless sleep so that she could visit him every night.
Her symbols on the Selene goddess mug
- White horses. The team that draws her chariot through the night.
- Poppies. Flowers of sleep and dreams.
- Moons. Selene herself, in every phase.
A Selene 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 selenite and moonstone, both named for the moon. She suits anyone who keeps the full moon.
Correspondences are traditional and offered as part of a practice, not as a substitute for medical or professional advice.
