Full Snow Moon Oracle

The Goddess for the February moon is Artemis, the Virgin Goddess.  Artemis is commonly associated with nature and fertility, along with the principles of risk and reward.  She is the Goddess of the Hunt, protecting wild animals to ensure their propagation and choosing which may be taken by worthy hunters, and known as the Lady of the Moon.  In various places, she is identified with Selene, the Moon Goddess, or with the Mother Earth.  In all cases, Artemis represents and requires purity in thought and action, loyalty, and fulfillment of oaths.  Artemis rewards those who take risks in order to live honestly in accordance with their true selves.  This month, I will be thinking about my values and beliefs, and evaluating whether I am living them as fully as I am capable of.
