The new edition of the
reality show
Big Brother
caught the attention of many last Thursday when Coy, the sister of the participant “Furia”, whose real name is Juliana Scaglione, performed an “Artemis arc”, do you know what it is about?
For those who work in the world of esotericism, the
“bow of Artemis”
consists of a simple movement that is performed to protect oneself (or others) by “bouncing negative energy back to its owner.”
The gesture gained greater popularity when it was part of the reaction of the Catalan singer
Rosalía
at a recital in San Diego, United States.
While the Motomami
interpreter
was finishing her presentation, a fan of hers threw a stuffed animal at her that hit her in the face and she responded with her gesture.
The tarot reader, witch and author
Violeta Parisi
in dialogue with
Clarín
explained how this protective spell is performed and what we should take into account before doing it.
The gesture replicates the launching of an arrow using an imaginary bow.

What meaning does this symbol from Greek mythology have?
How to make the “bow of Artemis” and what is the origin of the myth
The deity to which the gesture refers is
Artemis
, the Greek goddess of hunting and wild nature, whom the Romans called Diana.
She was the
twin sister of the Sun god
, Apollo, children of Zeus and the titanic Leto.
The Greek poet Callimachus dedicated his
Hymn III
to the goddess and wrote a song in which he tells how Artemis obtains the bow and arrow from her.
According to the ancient hymn, in her childhood, little Artemis sat on her father's lap and asked him as gifts for eternal virginity, a silver bow created by the Cyclops, and a retinue of oceanines and nymphs.
Callimachus prays that the hunting deity recites his other mission: “I will live in the mountains and will only make contact with the cities of men when women tormented by the intense pains of childbirth call me to help.”
The image of the goddess Artemis (Diana for the Romans) is always characterized by the bow and arrow.

Hence, it was thought that Artemis especially protected young, strong women and that her representation in painting and sculpture always included her carrying the bow and arrow.
In the pantheon of ancient goddesses she is one of the most important along with Selene, the lunar deity, Aphrodite or Athena.
“Artemis was a goddess who spent time in nature, in the forest, with animals.
She carried a bow and arrow;
But
she was not particularly one to hurt
, precisely, what she did with the energy of that bow and arrow was like
a talisman
that
helped her concentrate those thoughts
and intentions to achieve her goals.
She is a goddess who is connected with protection,” explains Parisi.
Coy had already explained in the program
Se Picó
what was the reason why he made the
Arc of Artemis.
“It is for protection and to return the energies that are not so good,” she said.

The gesture had a lot of impact on social networks and many wondered
how the "bow of Artemis" was made
. It is not surprising, since one of the advantages it has is that it does not require other amulets or crystals to be made.
Some users indicated that it can only be done in front of the person to whom you want to "return the energy," but Parisi clarified that this is a more personal decision for the person who does it.
For her, visualization
and
intention
while performing the movement and "throwing the arrow"
are much more important .
Now, for the person who does it,
can it be harmful on an energetic level?
According to the tarot reader and "glamour witch" it doesn't have to be.
"There is no need to get suggestive with that because it is not harmful. It is an act of saying: 'This energy that you send to me does not affect me and I return it to you.' So, if you have good energy it will return that good energy to you." "If you have bad energy, that bad energy will return to you."
This was not the only gesture that Fury's sister made when visiting the
Big Brother
house to lighten the atmosphere and offer protection to the contestant.
Coy also indicated in that interview that she turned on the faucet and washed her hands.
Many maintain that “letting the water run” is another way to energetically clean environments.
Scaglione also asked permission, went to the girls' room and kissed his sister's deer mat;
another connection that also refers to the Greek goddess.
That night the two sisters said goodbye, but for the audience the gesture was incorporated as another possible practice to protect themselves from bad vibes.
