Goddesses and Gods.wps - Welcome to Our Temple

There's no doubt you'll be successful in your quest. There's no doubt, either, that
you've got a very exciting, active time ahead - and not just on the romantic front.
There is though, some doubt about quite how well all this visit from Artemis is going
to work out if you now happen to be in a committed relationship. Please don't
misunderstand. You're not going to experience some tremendous urge to have an
affair. Artemis is a very loyal lover. It's just that she hates to feel trapped, enclosed or
'obligated'. Your spouse, no matter how understanding he may already be, is going to
need to be even more understanding and accommodating over the next few months.
He's going to have to appreciate that you badly need to be left to your own devices.
He's going to realize that though you're both very close, you have grown more like a
brother and a sister than a pair of lovers. It won't do - and in order to get back
together properly, you're probably first going to have to get a little further apart.
You've got to shake off the stale atmosphere that has grown up (through no particular
fault of anyone) in the situation as it currently stands. A change of scenery really
could make a difference. Contemplate a move to the country if you live in the city -
or a move to the beach if you live in the country! There's not much point in just
hoping you will grow out of this yearning for space. Artemis is not used to losing. She
simply won't depart until at least some of her demands have been met. If, therefore, a
total change is out of the question, you'd better spend as much time as you can
outdoors, riding, walking and generally burning off the excess physical energy you
seem to have so much of. Your partner, if he's lucky, will also feel the benefit of this,
but only if he keeps out of your way or has the good sense to make himself a little
unavailable - so that instead of feeling hunted you end up feeling like the one with
the whip hand.

Introduction:
Athena was the beautiful warrior queen who stood guard over the ancient city of
Athens. Though she was a brave swordswoman and an inspiration to the military
forces, this graceful goddess of strategy and intelligence was also closely associated
with arts and crafts. Her pronounced, piercing eyes were said to gaze fondly on the
city's weavers, goldsmiths, potters, shipbuilders and dressmakers. She came to be the
symbol of all 'great inventions' and practical discoveries.
Legend has it that the great Zeus was once plagued with a terrible headache. In the
throes of agony, he persuaded Hephaestus, god of the forge, to strike him on the head
with an axe. The blow was duly delivered and moments later, Athena emerged from
the wound. As she proved to be a full grown woman in golden armor, clutching a
spear and yelling a dreadful war cry, it is no wonder his head hurt. Zeus, instantly
healed, turned to embrace his new found daughter and, from that point on the two
were inseparable.
