For Artemis

For Artemis
by Genevieve Williams

Io Artemis Agrotera, Elaphaea, Cedreatis. Huntress, lady of the deer and the cedar trees. You I find in the icy rivers and hemlock groves, on the mountaintops and in the secret places beneath the stones. You I seek on every trail, you I follow on every chase. Walk with me and run before me and let your arrows find their mark, for these are perilous times. Hail to you and I will remember you.
