Artemis:


Guardian She is a Goddess I identify with as Greek mythology tells us that Artemis, despite her "wildness" (her refusal to conform to conventional ways or tradition) and her fierce independence, was depicted as one of the most compassionate, healing goddesses.

Of all the Greek goddesses, she was the most self-sufficient, living life on her own terms, comfortable both in solitude and in holding the reins of leadership.

The Greek goddess Artemis was frequently called upon to nurture her needy and somewhat ineffectual mother. Many times she came to the aid of her mother healing her from sickness. Artemis very naturally became the patron saint of childbirth, the protector of children, and the goddess who especially heard the appeals of women. Helping women in childbirth by relieving them of the pain they suffer on several occasions.
.
Artemis is unsurprisingly associated with the wilderness and the natural world. She symbolizes the untamed spirit, never being tied down by things such as love, being the eternal huntress of the forests.The Greek goddess Artemis was famous for her hunting skills, especially with her bow and arrow. She had unerring aim that never missed her target. She was a very able hunter taking down some of the most terrifying beasts with ease and grace.
Patron saint of childbirth and protector of children, she is the goddess who especially hears the appeals of women.  Artemis is associated with the moon, especially the crescent or "new" moon and as the "Goddess of Light" she has the divine duty of illuminating the darkness..
Despite her "wildness" (her refusal to conform to conventional ways or tradition) and her fierce independence, she is one of the compassionate, healing goddesses. Of all the Greek goddesses, she was the most self-sufficient, living life on her own terms, comfortable both in solitude and in holding the reins of leadership.
The Greek goddess Artemis gives us courage, she illuminates those places that terrify us and lends us her strength to bring us safely through our fears.

Aine:
A Goddess of fecundity, she ruled over and protected both crops and the reproducing of humans and the animal kingdom.  Aine, beautiful, bright and glowing, is a muse to every poet and artist.  Aine is also symbolized by brightness, glow, joy, radiance, splendor, glory, magic, popularity and even fame.
 Aine encourages us to take a risk and to put our heart's true desires into action. She tells us that procrastinating about our dreams will not make them go away and it will not make them happen. Not following our dreams, makes our lives stagnant. Aine appeals to us with the revelation that indecision is the death of the Soul's burning passion to improve, grow and learn. She says not to worry about making the wrong decision, to worry about not making any decision at all. She instructs us to take time to pray, meditate, go on nature walks and, then, take a step towards our heart's desire. 
Aine represents a huge Go for IT!  
“Your dream will come true.” Take action toward the realization of your dreams and Aine will have your back.

Also, Aine says, “The mirmagic of life is all around you.” She calls on you to find a way to awaken it in your life. 
AIne is the Goddess of Love and Light and beckons you to discover the beauty all around you! Awaken to the *mirmagical" in your life by noticing the "small" things.... the flowers beginning to bud, a winter's moon hanging from the sky assuring us that life is eternal and beyond our understanding= live in the now! Conect to your inner child...connect to the children in your life, the animal and  nature.... your life is your gift, your responsibility... LIVE and be reminded your life will always be what you make it!
