The Super Full Moon of every 18 years.
The Artemis Goddess of the Moon of my ancestors.

The Goddess who immediately after was born, had helped her mother deliver her brother, Apollo, the God of Sun,
and, aghast at what a woman had to endure to bring forth new life, promised herself to stay virginal and wild and untamed for ever.

The Goddess that personifies the Eternal Girl in a woman,
no matter her age.
The wild girl, her eyes full of stars and dreams, all her own,
that have nothing to do with any male in her life.

-''What is it that you want of me? '' she asks.
-''I am told a Goddess like you grants every wish made with a fiery passion. On a night like this, every 18 years''
''Yes'', she nodds. ''True. One and only wish. Think carefully.
Phrase it wisely, for it will come true down to the last detail''

''There is nothing to think about, Goddess. I already know what I want.''
''What is your Wish then?''
'I want our love to grow stronger and deeper with every passing year. Me loving him more and more with every passing year. Him loving me more and more with every passing year. That is my Wish.''
''Are you sure this is what you want, human woman? Most of your kind ask for specifics. A certain sum of money. Career. Fame. A specific husband or boyfriend . Kids. Health. Tangible things''
''No, '' says the woman. ''I won't waste my one and only wish on those things. This is what I want,. If I have this, then everything else will fall into place''.
The Goddess was silent. Goddesses speak in silence. Always.
Silence is more powerful than words. Godesses only speak to converse with humans. When humans ask or plead, they need words. But Goddesses speak in silence. A powerful silence, which means only one thing:

''Granted. Your wish is granted. ''
The woman left, her heart full of joy and certainty.
''My wish is granted. Done deal. There is nothing in the world that can stop it from being fulfilled''.
It was a good thing the woman couldnt see the Goddess's face.
For the Goddess was weeping silently.

''Why are you crying, Our Lady?'' asked her her entourage,
the beautiful immortal maidens we call stars

''Because,'' said the Moon Goddess, ''that was a very beautiful wish.
Of the ones that make my job worth having.
Of the ones that restore my faith in humanity''.

''And because'', she said amid her tears, her female nature overflowing with empathy and compassion, ''that wish is going to cost her dearly. ''
''Because that wish is going to cost her pain and tears more than she can imagine.''
''And more joy and happiness than she believes it is possible''.
''And let me tell you a secret,'', her divine voice trailed off in the dark.
''Sorrow and joy are twin siblings''
''No one can have the one without the other in this plane of existence..... The foolish seek to avoid one sister and only have interactions with the pleasant one. And they end up losing both''
''The wise know.
They know that both make Life worth living...''
