Artemis, the Greek goddess of the wild, embodies the rough untamed forces of nature and the softer aspects of femininity and womanhood. Twin to Apollo, the cultured god of music, poetry, and the sun, Artemis acts as his opposite: embodying the moon and the untethered, primal beauty of the the natural world. 

Revered as the goddess of the "masculine" spheres of archery, hunters, and the woods, she symbolizes strength, independence, and the raw beauty of the wilderness. However, Artemis also governs the feminine, as one of the goddesses associated with the moon, she serves as the goddess of virgins and midwifery. In fact, she is a virgin herself, along with the other virgin goddesses Athena, Hecate, and Hestia. With her finely balanced qualities and commitment to purity, Artemis commands respect and admiration.
