!Some time ago, I had an extemely visual dream, and in it I saw a goddess. We were on a hill surmounted by a huge castle, and along the slopes someone had built a kind of zoo - but all the animals were free and roaming the hill. I was scared to be attacked, when I saw a woman calmly walking amidst all the chaos. She was tall and fierce, with long black hair tied in some way and strong features (she looked a bit like Angelina Jolie, if I have to draw a comparison), and she was wearing a long white dress that looked made of feathers. Maybe swan feathers? Anyway, she was smiling, and she slowly guided me through the cages; all the while I could hear the same words being chanted again and again, I don't remember them anymore but it was something along the lines of 'you have to let go' or something like that. Then we turned a corner and I saw the guardian's house, and in there a lion was holding the guardian against the wall, but though I was scared as hell I knew that the goddess was able to communicate with him and that nothing would have hurt me.
So, do you have any ideas about who this goddess may be? At first I thought of Artemis, but she wasn't holding a bow or anything in her hands. On the internet Godchecker mentioned Caer, Nemesis, the Valkyrie, or the swan-maidens, but I'm not too much convinced...
Blessed be, you all!
For whatever it's worth though, while Artemis is often shown holding a bow, she doesn't always appear that way, and there is a lot of classical Greek art where she is feeding animals, holding them, etc, instead of carrying her other usual items. (
