Introduction

Leto was beloved of Zues, hated by his wife Hera, and the mother of his twin light gods, Artemis and Apollo. Few know of her; she was the daughter of Titans, known as the goddess of the unseen, and swans flocked to shield her at the moment of her children's birth. Cursed of the heavens, she gave birth first to Artemis, Huntress of the Moon, who in turn helped birth her own twin brother, Apollo of the Sun. From the Unseen, we were given Light.

All women are goddesses of the unseen. That does not diminish us, nor give anyone power over us. Many of us spend our days in humble quietude, while more and more of us clamber to sing in the sunlight with our brothers. From the depths our souls, Goddess-given, comes the power of words so great they have shaped all of us, be it one at a time, or as a vast whole. We have our own mysteries, many of them universal. I wish to pay hommage to the singular unseen of our psyche that gives rise to the Light of our collective creativity. I am Leto's Daughter.
