Pagan Eye: The Roman Goddess Luna at Bath


As there is a full moon tonight, here is a photograph of a carving of the Roman moon goddess Luna. It once stood on the pediment of a building in the temple courtyard at the Roman Baths in Bath, opposite a similar pediment depicting the sun god Sol. This would have shown the powers of the sun and the moon in balance - as they are at this time of year during the Autumn Equinox.

My Pagan Eye posts show photos that I find interesting - seasonal images, pagan sites, events, or just pretty pictures. If you want to send me a photo for a Pagan Eye post, please email it to badwitch1234@gmail.com Let me know what the photo shows and whether you want your name mentioned or not. For copyright reasons, the photo must be one you have taken yourself.
