Modern Practice

Invoked for protection, especially of women and children, lunar magic, connecting with wild nature, and maintaining boundaries. Excellent for those seeking positive lunar energy without the intensity of darker moon goddesses. Work with Diana for independence, hunting (literal or metaphorical), animal magic, and protection spells. More mainstream and accessible than Lilith for lunar work.
