I’ve been doing this a long time...

titan goddess of falling stars.

“Asteria was the Titan goddess of falling stars, oracles and prophecies of the night, such as prophetic dreams, astrology and necromancy (communication with the dead) ; her name means ‘starry one’ or ‘falling star’. She was the mother of Hekate (Hecate), goddess of witchcraft, by the Titan Perses.”

Asteria was a name given to a number of different beings in Greek mythology. As a deity, however, the name refers to a Titan goddess, daughter of the Titans Coeus and Phoebe and sister of Leto. She was married to the Titan Perses, and had a daughter, Hecate. Asteria was the goddess of nocturnal oracles and shooting stars. Zeus pursued her, but Asteria instead turned into a quail and fell into the Aegean to escape. As a result, she transformed into Ortygia, the quail island, which was later linked to the island of Delos. [x] 

(n.s.)                 a patchwork of dreamlike dimensions, this mind of mine.                                  delirious with stars and soft melancholy;                                                             tender with music and tales of woe.
