Selene, Goddess of
the Moon, daughter
of the Titans

“Queen of the stars,
deck’d with a graceful
robe and shining veil

Come, Goddess, on
this starry bright night

Come with your lamp
with chaste and
splendid light

Shine on us tonight”

Have a Blessed New Week!

BRITISH GOBLINS This remarkable painting is inspired by Rossetti's 1862 poem 'Goblin Market'. It's painted by English artist Hilda Koe (c. 1901).
'We must not look at goblin men,
We must not buy their fruits:
Who knows upon what soil they fed
Their hungry thirsty roots?'

Red, red, vermilion red,
With buds and blooms in a glorious head!
There isn’t a flower, the wide world through,
That glows with a brighter scarlet hue.

Geraniums symbolise protection, friendship and positivity, and may be used in rituals and healing ceremonies.
