Meditation to connect with Selene
Light a candle, put a oil diffuser or incense and some relaxing music, sit and close your eyes. Take three deep breaths and relax. Hold your intention in connecting to Selene, the Moon Goddess. You could say this in your head three times, ‘My intention is to connect with Selene.’
Imagine you are in a forest and its night time. Although its dark, the full moon is bright and lights up a path. You start to walk this path between the trees, making your way gradually, noticing the sound of owls and rustles in the bushes. The path takes you to a circular clearing surrounded by trees and the full moon is directly above you shining down.
You feel this is where Selene will be, so you decide to stand under the full moon, close your eyes and soak up its beautiful cleansing energy. As you are doing this, you hear a voice say ‘Welcome Child, I have been expecting you.’ You open your eyes and see a beautiful woman is standing in front of you. It is Selene. You say hello and thank her for connecting. She smiles and embraces you. So full of love and light, she starts to talk to you.
Take this time to listen to what she has to say and to ask any questions.
Once you have finished communicating, you thank her. She says ‘ You are welcome child. I am always here for you to connect. Remember I am the Moon, anytime you feel you need me, look to the Moon and know I am here with you.’ She embraces you once more and then floats up towards the Moon and disappears into the light.
Feeling peaceful and when you are ready, take three deep breaths and come back to the room.
Write down your experience. What did she say to you? Did she have a message? Were all your questions answered? Did anything else happen?

Hi my name is shayna i have a question. How did it feel to talk to selene was she. Nice and calm .
Hi, I’m searching about Selene and I can’t find anything about how to know when she calls for you. I’m trying to get into witchcraft since a month after my 18th birthday and my intuition getting more accurate. I’m still searching about all of this matter, but ever since I was young I had a slight obsession with the moon, and, funnily, I’ve been singing a lullaby from my childhood about the moon. Another thing I found out was that the stone my grandparents bought me was a moonstone. There were more stones there at the time but the only one that got my attention was the moonstone. Can you, please, tell me how do we know when she is calling for us?
Hello, when I was meditating i was trying to connect with someone and the first name that popped up in my head was luna, and ive never knew someone with that name. Im drawn to the moon and the night. Silver is the only metal i like. Also my natal chart is ruled my the moon. I started to learn about luna. But im also seeing other signa of other deities so its really confusing
