She is known as Artemis to the Greeks and is closely identified with the Roman Dianna, she is the Maiden Huntress. She is a Goddess with swiftness and grace and a force to be reckoned with. She hunts the woods and mountain regions, accompanied by one of her fine hunting dogs, the ancient hounds that are sacred to her. Other animals sacred to the huntress are the stag and the owl. The Maiden Huntress should be approached with the utmost respect as she is not pleased with unwanted intrusions, nor with any harm to her sacred animals. She guards her virtue fiercely, ask her for assistance if you wish to stave off unwanted advances. She is seen here clothed in a silvery tunic and her athletic build stands against the darkening sky of the early evening. The waxing crescent moon is her symbol. That very thin crescent that you see in early evening that looks like the Cheshire Cat`s grin is sometimes known as "Dianas` Bow". She has left her hair free and blowing in the evening to represent her free spirit and untamed nature. At the first sighting of the thin sliver of the moon in the west, blow her a kiss three times, then donate silver money in her name, and she will grant you abundance in return. 11"x17" acrylic and Berol Prismacolor Pencils on Illustration board By Mickie Mueller
