Stories
Gods and Goddesses are role models and the way in which they interact with us clearly provide insight and inspiration. The choices they make in their interaction with us may not always be what we would expect. However, examining their interaction with us will provide insight into who the Gods and Goddesses are.


Diana's Hounds
A long time ago, there was a battle. All of the soldiers were ordered to hold the line at all costs. One soldier ran instead of helping to hold the line. He left his fellow soldiers far behind. He ran until he was too tired to run anymore. That night as he rested, he heard howling. He knew he could not escape Diana's justice so he did not even attempt to flee the approaching hounds. Diana's hounds showed no mercy as they devoured him.

The Lost Boy
There was a small boy who became lost in the woods. The forest spirits took pity on him and helped raise him. He grew up never seeing another human again. Throughout his entire life, he helped care for the forest. When he became old, the forest spirits banded together and transformed him into a forest spirit. To this day, he helps to care for the forest.

The Copper Well
There was a famine and food was scarce. The people of one village showed hospitality to the neighboring villages by sharing what they had during the famine. One day a woman gave an offering of thanks to the Gods. She threw a beautiful copper bracelet into an abandoned well. The Copper God was impressed by the offering and decided to help the villages. The next day, the well was full of copper. Everyone in the villages benefited by the copper gift.

The Frozen Soldier
There was a soldier alone and cut off from his group. He was freezing to death in a snow storm. The Ice Queen came to him. Instead of begging to be saved or begging for a quick death, the soldier smiled and told the Ice Queen he was truly honored that the Ice Queen herself would visit him. The Ice Queen was caught off guard. The two spoke for almost an hour about many things, not once did the soldier ask for any favors from the Ice Queen. When the soldier was too weak to talk anymore, the Ice Queen picked the soldier up and carried him back to his group.

The Small Knife
Four men attacked a young girl and were preparing to rape her. Her sister came in and tried to stop them. The men grabbed the sister and decided to rape her as well. She managed to break free and picked up a small knife. She asked for Diana's help and then pointed the small knife at the men. The men laughed and reached for her. Before the sister could stab the first man, Diana appeared. Diana asked the two young girls what they wanted done to the four men. The girls both said they wanted the men dead. Diana said she would do better than that and that they should trust her punishment for this horrible crime. From each of the four men, Diana took away their speech, their hearing, their hands, their feet, and their sex.
