retailer Goddess Diana Altar Piece

This is an altar tile for displaying on your altar or can be used as part of a travelling altar. It is crafted from horse chestnut, chestnut being aligned with Goddess Diana, and is 5.5 inches high and wide and 1 inch thick. It has two depictions of Diana, both under the full moon, one of Diana hunting aiming her arrow at the moon, and one stood under the moonlight.

Diana is the Roman Goddess of the woodlands, wild animals and of the hunt. In ancient times as Rome's contact grew with Greece, Diana was more and more identified with the Goddess Artemis. In time the two Goddesses became virtually identical, though in modern times she is usually identified as "Diana".

Diana is most often portrayed as a hunter, often with a bow and quiver, accompanied by maidens, hunting dogs, or deer. In this aspect, she is considered to be a pure and virginal Maiden Goddess of the Moon.

Diana is honored by women because of her association as a Goddess of childbirth, nursing and healing. In this aspect, she is considered to be a Mother Goddess.

Because Diana was also identified with darkness and witchcraft and served as a Goddess of the Underworld, she is also considered a Crone Goddess.

As a true Triple Goddess, her nature was as varied as her many aspects. She could be pure and virginal, maternal and loving, or arrogant and vengeful. She is as changeable and unpredictable as nature. Diana was originally queen of the open sky, worshiped only outdoors, where Her domain stretched overhead. Possibly She was ruler of the sun as well as the moon, for the early Italians had no sun god and had to adopt Apollo for that role. Diana's name comes from the word for ‘light'; probably She was the original Italian ruler of the sun. She is also associated with Nemetona of the Sacred grove and her triple aspect is Trivia.

This is a lovely piece to adorn any altar dedicataed to the goddess or Diana.

Your altar piece comes wrapped in a cotton cloth for safe keeping. P+P to the UK is FREE.
