Her chosen.” He paused, his eyes sweeping over me, as if seeing me in a new, terrifying light. “They were the original source of magic, the conduit through which cosmic power flowed into the world.”

He used the opportunity when Selene could not do anything to save her children. With the war getting worse day by day the old witch was forced to worship the moon goddess . Amongst the witches and warlocks they were forbidden to worship any other gods or goddess other than the devil.She needed two other witches to fulfill this ritual because each witch represents each moon phase . The Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone, each of which symbolizes both a separate stage in the female life cycle and a phase of the Moon, and often rules one of the realms of heavens, earth, and underworld.

Grace seemed unbothered by my question, and answered casually, "You're pagans, for one." "We worship the same Goddess, Priestess," Mom said shortly. "We have the same rites, the same texts. I believe your attitude has more to do with the fact the White Queens are an extension of the Goddess herself—" "Like I said, pagans. Witches, if I can be frank." I was shocked at this woman's tone toward my mom. I didn't even know how to respond. But Mom didn't lash out. She stood calmly, peering at Grace with skepticism.

Mariya asked, feeling strange, “What is...the Brightest Moon?” Hwagu could only sighed, yet there's no judgement in his presence, he only looked at deeply as he replied, “The Brighest Moon...was our Origin. We are the child of it, and we technically called her...our Mother. The Ultimate Mother, even one of our parents could called the Brighest Moon...their Mother.”

Some even say werewolves celebrate Halloween to appease the moon goddess who helped us control our beasts and our transformations by creating a healthy bond and partnership with our wolf spirits. Legends say that to pacify our animalistic carnal and primal nature, the moon goddess blessed us with mate bonds that eventually led us to our mates who completed us. Through our mates, we were introduced to more humane emotions like love, loyalty, passion, affection, and we began a more familial and civilized way of living. There used to be mate balls and mass mate marriages in the ancient times attended by young men and women who were sixteen to find their mates and once they did, they were marrie

It won't take us anywhere-. — Our ancient legends say that she was the first woman in this world — Arina says. —She fell from the sky and created everything that exists. — Don't you have other gods? — No. There is only her. The Primal Mother. — It's not like that in Agreis — Azerai insists. — They have gods for everything. Even gods who were once mortal. No Mother Goddess is mentioned among them. — We are not like men from the continent — my Sister sounds harsh.

I grimaced, remembering the burnt substance my cousins claimed were mini quiches. “Rude.” Éowyn scoffed, kicking my leg. “Food is Nonno and Zia Kat’s love language. We are the children of Alpha André.” Amaryllis grinned. “So, you want to throw her a party.” I nodded as it clicked. “Mother’s Day is soon. It’s the perfect day to show her our love and appreciation. Too many Mother’s Days have passed where we could only celebrate our Nonnas. It’s time we paid homage to the woman who gave us life.” Aragon smiled.

From her response, Alex deduced the truth. It turned out she truly had forgotten Lizzy's birthday. Alex was taken aback. A similar oversight had happened in his own past.

He smiles. “Oh yes, I’ll teach it to you some time.” “Is sex involved with everything?” “Sex, birth, death, rebirth. The Wheel of the Year. The Underground adheres to it, keeping all the holy days sacred. You know, with orgies.” He winks. I smile. “Sounds very pagan.” “That’s because it is. We even have a patron Goddess we pay our respects to, Diana, Goddess of the moon and the Hunt.”

Rosalind's discovery sparked a flurry of questions, and she wasn't alone in her curiosity. Cathryn, Finn, and the pack's elder women gathered around her, eager to share ancient stories and shed light on the mysterious Moon Mothers.
