One of the most familiar images we associate with the Moon is its representation of three different stages of development: the maiden, the mother and the crone. Some might say that over the centuries the Moon has become overly associated with the middle point of that cycle, with the astrological Moon principally symbolising home, security, safety, comfort, nurturing and parenting. 

But what about the earlier and later stages in the cycle? Why are they so neglected?  What about the untamed, instinctive side of the Moon?  Should this be a part of our interpretation of the Moon? 

The webinar looks at what lunar goddesses such as Artemis from the Greek pantheon can tell us about the astrological Moon, and how an exploration of her myths and stories could enrich our understanding of the planet.  Some of the qualities of Artemis, such as her wildness, her uncompromising fierceness and independence, are not usually seen as particularly lunar in nature. This webinar explores how we can incorporate some of these ideas into our analysis of the Moon.
