Selene: Symbolism and Role in Ancient Mythology
According to some myths and legends, Selene, along with other gods, signified natural events or elements of existence. In Roman and Greek mythology, you will find parallels with goddesses of the lunar world or the world of nature. Selene is usually shown as a Moon Goddess who follows the natural cycles.
Symbolism
● Moon and night. In Paganism, Selene was the Goddess of the moon, night, or celestial events. Lunar cycles represent cycles of transformation and continuity.
● Natural cycles. As a Pagan Goddess, Selene can be associated with cycles of activity and productivity. She is usually related to cycles and changes, like the cycle of seasons.
● Duality and balance. Selene can be considered to symbolize the Lunar Goddess, whereby her lunar attribute symbolizes light and darkness and the equilibrium of the two. This may reflect the actual balance in the natural and spiritual environment.
● Magic and mystery. The moon and night are typical elements that are usually linked to witchcraft. Selene, as a Greek Goddess, represents the knowledge that one has during the night or secrets that are unveiled at night.
Role in Religious Practices
Although the goddess Selene was less famous, some local or alternative religions may have worshipped her. She could have sanctuaries or specialized places where people sought help in nature and fertility issues — spiritual realms.
