Walking with the Goddesses: Selene

This post goes out to all my Lunatics and Moon witches! We are working with Selene & her energy in this blog! Selene shines as the Titan Goddess of the Moon. Selene and her connection with the lunar cycle, especially during the lunar eclipse, makes her a powerful symbol of illumination, mystery, and emotional depth.

Origins & Associations

Mythological Origins

Selene is one of the Titan deities in Greek mythology, symbolizing the moon and its enchanting glow at night. She is often depicted as a beautiful woman with a crescent moon crown that rests gracefully on her head. In ancient art, you might see her driving a silver chariot across the sky, highlighting her essential role in the lunar cycle. Selene is closely related to her siblings: Eos, the Goddess of Dawn, and Helios, the God of Sun. Together, they illustrate the various phases of the day. As the moon goddess, Selene embodies qualities such as intuition, dreams, emotions, and mystery. Her influence reaches into sleep and prophecy, signifying the deeper aspects of our subconscious. Many people seek her guidance to explore their inner worlds.

Signs and Symbols

Selene will be ever present during this Lunar Eclipse so see if there are any of her signs that stand out:

• Full Moon: Selene is most strongly associated with the full moon, symbolizing illumination, clarity, and emotional insight.

• Lunar Eclipses: While Selene is often linked with the regular full moon, she is also tied to lunar eclipses, which can represent revelation and transformative shifts in consciousness. The eclipse marks a time when the full moon is temporarily obscured, making it a powerful metaphor for hidden truths and emotional depths coming to light.

• Chariot and Horses: Her chariot and the white horses that pull it symbolize the cyclical nature of the moon, constantly moving through phases and guiding the night. The horses are also symbols of freedom and transcendence.

• Silver: Selene is often depicted with a silver crescent moon crown or sometimes in a silver chariot, emphasizing her connection to the lunar and mystical forces of the night.

• Her Connection with the Feminine: Like many lunar deities, Selene represents the feminine—reflecting the changing tides of a woman's emotions, cycles, intuition, and connection to the divine.
