The Grove of Artemis
The Grove of Artemis
Lend me your arrow, Lady of the wild wood.
Lend me your bow so my target may be clear.
Charge my intentions. My aim is pure and true.
Lady of the wild wood, I give my heart to you.
-Lady Kahina, Founder of Grove of Artemis
Grove of Artemis is a Dianic Full Moon ritual circle open to all women. The goal of Grove of Artemis is to create sacred space, spiritual community, and support for female witches. The circle is facilitated by Dianic High Priestesses, but is an egalitarian group where all women share in ritual participation. At Grove of Artemis circles, the priestess is invoked in every woman. GOA is devoted to the Goddess Artemis because she is a powerful symbol for the women's movement and female empowerment. We invoke Artemis during every circle. However, we work with diverse pantheons from many different cultures. We are witches, women, warriors, amazons, maidens, mothers, crones. We honor the divine in every woman, and make manifest Her many faces.
