Actually, I believe this would be number 7. Number six didn't go over too well....pretty slow.....you'll find it a couple threads down from this one :)

Now, as to the answer....I always get my Greek and Romans mixed up..... the only Greek moon goddess I can think of at the moment is Diana...though I don't think she represented the new moon......hmmmm....... is it Hecate, maybe?

Depends on who you ask.

I believe I read somewhere in Stregheria lore that Diana is the Goddess of all moon cycles but her name is pronounced differently for each - ie. dee-anna for one, die-anna, another, dee-awna for another. I also read that some use a triad of Persephone/Demeter/Hecate and Persephone is the new moon.

Is anyone going to clue us in (or at least me) on who the hell this deity is that we are talking about...or rather, not talking about!

hey manstranger it would be cool to learn about Russian mythology. I too don't know much about those myths. Funny, you should mention Baba Yaga. I was just reading about her this morning. What interesting myths! Supposedly, she was a man-eating demon in Slavonic myth and flew around in an iron kettle when she wished to travel. What else do people know about Baba Yaga?

Is she the one with a house that has chicken's feet and walks around? Though possibly I'm imagining that. Oh, and a fiery skull that she gave to Vasillissa the Fair.

Phoenixsong,
Yes, you are right about Baba Yaga. To be honest, I think that I have used up all my Baba Yaga knowledge.
