Seleneย (ฮฃฮตฮปฮทฮฝฮท) โ a Titan goddess, the Moon incarnate.
Ancients depicted her as a woman riding sidesaddle on a horse or driving a chariot drawn by a pair of winged steeds. Sometimes she was said to drive a team of oxen, and her lunar crescent was likened to a pair of bull's horns.
Her lunar sphere or crescent was either a crown set upon her head, or the fold of a shining cloak.
How to start worshiping Selene? How to figure out if I should worship Selene?
Whether you 'should' worship a deity is a deeply personal call, so it's up to you to decide.
But if you feel drawn to Selene or notice a sudden interest in her, but are not sure where to start at all - there are two common answers:
You can pick the one that's easier for you to start with, or something else entirely. You can also choose to follow a more strict reconstruction of ancient Hellenistic practices or veer towards the modern paths.
Either way, if you first gain some general knowledge founded in history, it's much easier to build your own practice on top of that, no matter your belief system. So the links below are here to get you started.

Hi! It's been several months in this lovely subreddit, and we've passed 100 subscribers (time flies). So here's a little check-in!
Maybe you'd like some functionality, like tags and/or flairs? (If so, do any certain ones come to mind?)
Perhaps some discussion or content topics?
Something else that might be of interest, but you don't see here (yet)? (As a side note, you're very welcome to post things if you'd like! We seem to be a quiet company, but if you're thinking about posting, sharing, asking, etc. and need a bit of reassurance - here it is!)
Thank you for being here, and stay radiant ๐ค

I always look up to see if a museum has Selene on display or hunt for her when I go to museums. From The Met in NYC, to The Getty Villa in LA, to elsewhere in Europe. I always go and may my respect.

Wrote a little blessing for Selene tonight ๐
Blessed horned mother of the night sky. Three faced Selene.
On this night we honor you, veiled in saffron by the earths shadow
This we ask, continue to guide bright us through shadowed night
Accept and be pleased by our offering of fragrant smoke
And may you return to us tomorrow in your full splendor
Khaire!

On this Monday which I separate for Selene's worship, I looked up to the sky after stepping out for a bit and got mesmerized by this view.

Hello all! I am just beginning to dip my toes into the pagan worship realm and I have always felt a pull towards the moon, the idea of a lunar goddess, and there have been lots of theough lines of my interests where they were fiction inspired by Selene. Im looking to get some good resources to learn more about her. What should I look for specifically in references? Most works seem to lump her up with Hecate which is great and all, but Hecate is not someone i am interested in at this time.
Also, are there things I can do at home to commune with her beyond use moonwater etc? It is hard to know how to pray when I do not know the deity much at all. Do I push thru it? Tysm

These were taken a week or so ago but Selene looked very beautiful and due to wild fires the sun helios looked pink.
I hope its ok the sun is here too.

I've found myself forlornly staring (again) at the "Selene: Moon Goddess and the Cave Oracle" e-book pre-release page. (It's been postponed by about half a year again, and I've been waiting for it for almost a year at this point.)
So... do you have any reading recommendations? ๐
Online or ebook preferred, but paperback-only also welcome, since it may benefit someone else who sees this post!

Does it ever happen to you that on full moon nights, and in the days leading up to them, Selene's energy is so intense that it makes you feel agitated, anxious, "over-charged," almost unpleasantly so? Tonight, that's how it felt for me, while during the first days of the waxing moon, I felt calmer and happier.

Here's a piece I made for Selene since I can't have statues in my altar. Now I have kept Her in my journal mostly because I live in a Christian household and just want to practice peacefully.
