- Goddess Diana -
In Roman mythology, Diana was the goddess of the hunt, the moon and
childbirth, being associated with wild animals and woodland, and having the
power to talk to and control animals. She was equated with the Greek goddess
Artemis, though she had an independent origin in Italy. Diana was worshipped in
ancient Roman religion and is revered in Roman Neopaganism and Stregheria.
Dianic Wicca, a largely feminist form of the practice, is named for her. Diana
was known to be the virgin goddess of childbirth and women. She was one of the
three maiden goddesses, Diana, Minerva and Vesta, who swore never to marry.
