Well ... there are many goddesses and actually alot of different goddesses of the Moon ... In some places, Artemis is considered the goddess of the moon, in others it is Luna .... there is Britomartis ... Bendis ... Athena ... really alot ... There is a very good web page for learning about all (or most at least) of the moon deities, I hope it helps you! http://www.witchesweb.com/lunardeity.html

(The reason there are so many goddesses is because (and it becomes rather obvious after you have visited that web page *smile*) there are so many different cultures .. each of them had different names, different sexes of deity, and different ways to worship their moon deities, but in most cultures, the moon was as worshiped as the sun. ) I hope that answers your question!! If not, please, dont hesitate to contact me again!
