SELENE

Greek Moon Goddess ๐ŸŒ

Magical Goddess of the Silvery Moon

She is pale, beautiful and indefinably alluring. Her brother is Helios, the Sun and her sister is Eos, the Dawn. Secretive and shy, she enjoys flitting silently through the night with a pearl-white or silvery chariot.

But she quite likes being glimpsed through the clouds โ€” and her coyness is somewhat calculated. For Selene also enjoys romance, and has shared kisses with more people than you could count on a long winterโ€™s night.

In keeping with her magical allure, she is the patron of wizards and magicians. Was it a member of the magic fraternity who spread the rumor that her reflection in water could be trapped? Apparently, if you keep very very quiet, she will draw nearer and nearer โ€” until you can snatch her from the sky and make her your servant.

Well, we tried that and it didnโ€™t work. What a tease.
