I was thinking of a Human Druid. When she was born, she was was weak and sickly. The healers of the the village tried the best they could to heal her and she was not expected to live beyond a few months.
As the weeks passed by, the child got sicker and weaker and after only 2 months, she was almost at the end of her life. Nobody could do anything for her now - it was just a matter of days.
Preparations were made for the child's passing, a celebration of her short life, and a ceremony to dedicate her back to the great mother.
After the celebration, the child was brought forth and laid on the alter at the centre of clearing in the forest and the ceremony to dedicate the child back to the great mother began.
As the ceremony drew to a close and the child was about to breath her last, the moon came out from behind the clouds and shone down upon her. As the light of the moon shone upon the child her breathing stabilised. Those who had gathered there watched in awe as a figure formed from the moonlight. The figure hovered just above the child and spoke - though not in words exactly.
"I give you not my heart, to make you whole, but my strength to purify your weakness ...... Breath in my spirit and rise, daughter of the moon"
The figure then kissed the child and as she did, the child's hair turned silver like moonlight, her eyes turned deep blue like the night sky and her skin as white as snow.
As the moon was again covered by the clouds, the moonlight and the figure disappeared. The child raised her arms and began to cry with a vigour she had not shown before.
The years passed and as the child grew up, she showed an affinity for magic that can be affected by moonlight. She joined the circle of the moon, passing her trials with ease.
Her magic also seemed much more powerful when the moon was full, high in the sky and unobscured.
I was thinking that Selûne filled her with a part of her own spirit. Calling her daughter of the moon, and claiming her as her own.
Not sure how realistic this is though. For one thing can Goddess fill a mortal with a part of their own spirit; and, would Selûne do that?

"Realistic" Is an extremely relative term when talking about a world with magic, dragons and Gods directly interacting with mortals.
That being said: if you want that to be possible in your game, then it is a fact, you don't really need anyone other than yourself and your players to agree that is something that can happen. Same goes for the if and why a goddess like Selûne would do something like that.

Also if you really want "to be filled with a goddesses light" that is what clerics, paladins and celestial warlocks/sorcerers do all day long. Clerics even have a subclass call light clerics.
There are clerics and paladins of nature as well, druids often do worship gods but there magic leans more I to drawing power from the land rather than a God as were the classes mentioned above are all about that stuff.
Also if you really want durid spells, just take ONE level in druid, druids (like clerics) know all there spells from level 1, all you need is a spell slot to prep them, while you will only be able to prep a max of 6 druid spells you will still have access to them all and clerics d druids do share quite a few spells.
So there solved your problem, be a cleric. Cast divine intervention, also there is another spell that let's you talk to gods or whatever, its neat.

This seems more like a question for your DM than for us.
Gods can do whatever DMs say they can do. Soo...
This.
I think the race your looking for is aasimar, they are just half celestial, there mortal half can be of any race you want.
