So, this is a very simple version. She is my favorite entity.
Just a warning, she can be pretty picky. She's also pretty jealous, so I wouldn't work with too many entities while working with her.
What you'll need:
A simple offering. (An apple, water, some wine, some juice, some other fruit or something simple like that.)
A forest.
A statue of Artemis, or a printed photo of her.
Optional: A notebook. It would be good to be able to write down during the ritual. Or draw. But that's up to you. She might give you a prayer you can use.
Remember, don't trash the woods! You're about to enter a holy place. Have respect!
It would be best to do this when the moon is up. Even better if it's fullmoon! But at night is fine.
Walk to "an entrance" of a forest. Don't step in just yet. Take a couple deep breaths, and just relax for a while. Ask Artemis to guide your steps to a sacred place, a place that is holy. Then just start walking. Don't worry, and don't hesitate. It would be best if you didn't really think at all. Just keep walking, and don't be afraid of getting lost. You'll end up somewhere beautiful. It's usually an unexpected opening. But there's something special in it. Trust me, you'll feel it! You're in the right spot.
Now, depending on the conditions, remove your clothes or shoes. You want to be as connected to the nature as you possibly can!
Setup a quick altar for her. Place the statue/photo in a fitting spot, and kneel before it.
Take some deep, grounding breaths. You're here.
Greet Artemis, and talk to her. Tell her you are grateful. Tell her you appreciate her. Talk to her! You need to form a connection between you, and her.
You'll shortly start feeling her presence. If you're familiar with auras and sensing presences, I bet you will love hers! It's so refreshing and calming!
Keep talking to her, she is listening. Tell her you would like to start working with her.
If you feel like dancing, feel free to dance. This is deeply in the Greek tradition. Let her dance with your body. This is something holy. If you get to this point, she has given you her approval, and wants to work with you!
When you finish talking to her, thank her, and ask her to guide you home safe.
Remember to thank her again, when you're out of the forest! While you're walking, you'll feel like you were drunk! You'll feel so happy, all you would like to do is jump and laugh. Like a little child.
More coming soon.
