The Luna, half moon, or sickle of the moon, also known as the fading and rising lunar surface, is a goddess and is associated with life and death in many religions. It pinpoints the feminine menstrual cycle, changing seasons, ebb and tide (and related inundations as harbingers of fertility), and the ebb and tide (and related inundations) as harbingers of fertility. Luna, and more particularly Luna, were both associated with the half moon. It was eventually passed to Diana (Artemis), the earth mother's progeny who was regarded not just as a virgin but also as a protector of newborns and a reproductive emblem with her own right.
