Dear Souls,
Last night I made the connection with Goddess Aphrodite, and I am so inspired to share this experience with you.
There is so much healing energy at the moment, especially regarding the Feminine Heart and Womb Healing.
Goddess Aphrodite came on purpose to guide us through this process. Through the power of WATER.
I would like to stress that; it may seem for the women only. Yet in each of us there is both the Divine Feminine and Sacred Masculine in us. And we surely have many lifetimes as women as well. The Karmic trauma that we bring with us, is needed to be address and healed.
This is my first time doing a Mediation video, and I hope you find it of assistance.
Aphrodite, ancient Greek goddess of sexual love and beauty, identified with Venus by the Romans.
APHRODITE was the Olympian goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and procreation. She was depicted as a beautiful woman often accompanied by the winged godling Eros (Love). Her attributes included a dove, apple, scallop shell and mirror. In classical sculpture and fresco she was usually depicted nude.
MYTHS
Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty, and desire, stands as one of the most captivating and influential deities in ancient Greek mythology. Her origins though, are shrouded in mystery.
According to Hesiod’s THEOGONY, she emerged from the sea foam in the waters of Paphos, on the island of Cyprus, born from the severed genitals of Uranus. She supposedly arose from the foam when THE TITAN CRONUS slew his father Uranus and threw his genitals into the sea.
However, according to Homer, in Iliad, Aphrodite may instead be the daughter of ZEUS and Dione. As with so many Greek deities, there are many stories about the origins of the gods.
Many gods believed that her beauty was such that their rivalry over her would spark a war of the gods.
Aphrodite had many lovers. Her lovers include both gods and men – including the god ARES and the mortal Anchises. She also played a role in the story of Eros and PSYCHE in which admirers of Psyche neglected to worship VENUS (Aphrodite) and instead worshipped her. For this, Aphrodite enlisted EROS (CUPID) to exact her revenge but the god of love instead falls in love with the girl.
Many gods believed that her beauty was such that their rivalry over her would spark a war of the gods. Because of this, Zeus married Aphrodite to HEPHAESTUS the god of craftsmanship. He wasn’t seen as a threat because of his ugliness and deformity.
Despite this marriage to Hephaestus, Aphrodite had many lovers. Her lovers include both gods and men – including the god ARES and the mortal Anchises. She also played a role in the story of Eros and PSYCHE in which admirers of Psyche neglected to worship VENUS (Aphrodite) and instead worshipped her. For this, Aphrodite enlisted EROS (CUPID) to exact her revenge but the god of love instead falls in love with the girl.
Later, Aphrodite was both Adonis’s lover and his surrogate mother. This led to a feud with PERSEPHONE in which Zeus decreed ADONIS should spend half of the year with Aphrodite and half of the year with Persephone.
Aphrodite’s Children
Across the various myths and legends, Aphrodite had at least 16 children, with many different partners. Here’s a selection of some of the most notable.
Eros (Cupid)
Born from Aphrodite’s union with Ares, Eros (also known later by the Romans as Cupid), is the god of love and desire. Often depicted as a mischievous, winged child, Eros wields a bow and arrows, which he uses on both gods and mortals. When struck by his arrows, Eros could control the emotions of his targets, leading to various romantic entanglements and conflicts in Greek myths.
Harmonia
Harmonia, born to Aphrodite and Ares, is the goddess of harmony and concord. In stark contrast to her brothers, her role in mythology is to create balance and peace, often symbolizing the harmonious union of opposites. She is famously known for her unhappy marriage to Cadmus, the founder of THEBES, which was marked by tragedy and transformation.
Anteros
Anteros is often considered the avenger of unrequited love and the punisher of those who scorn or do not return love. His role in mythology is less clear than that of Eros, but he is sometimes depicted as Eros’ counterpart or even his brother.
Sacred Animals
The animals sacred to Aphrodite further symbolize aspects of her nature. The dove, representing peace and love, the sparrow, a symbol of amorousness, and the swan, embodying grace and beauty, are often depicted alongside her. These creatures not only signify her dominion over love and beauty but also serve as her celestial messengers.
Myths Surrounding Aphrodite
The Judgement of Paris and the Trojan War
Aphrodite had a large role in the events leading to the Trojan War, through the Judgement of Paris. She was one of the three goddesses, along with Hera and ATHENA, who claimed the golden apple inscribed “To the fairest.” They asked Zeus to judge the contest, but he refused. Paris, son of the King of Troy, judged the contest instead. Each of the three goddesses promised him something in return; Aphrodite promised him the love of the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Sparta. He chose Aphrodite as the winner of the apple.
This story of the Judgment of Paris was considered to be the real reason behind the TROJAN WAR. Once the war was underway, she fought on the side of Paris. Aphrodite rescued Paris from Menelaus by enveloping him in a cloud and taking him back to Troy.
Aphrodite and Adonis
The myth of Aphrodite and Adonis is one of love and tragedy. Adonis, a mortal of great beauty, attracted Aphrodite’s love. She saw him when he was born and determined then that he should be hers. She assigned Persephone to his care, but Persephone fell in love with Adonis also and would not give him back. Finally, Zeus had to mediate. He judged that Adonis should spend half the year with each.
However, he was fatally gored by a wild boar, leading to his death. Aphrodite was overcome with grief, and from Adonis’ blood sprang the anemone flower, symbolizing the fleeting nature of beauty and life.
