HYMN TO APHRODITE
By Gawaine C. Ross

In a chariot drawn by centaurs Nageswari burns and sways,
In her hands she holds a comet, lightning snakes and cosmic rays,
Her attendants leap about her, Firebirds with diamond eyes,
Doing a tango with the Sun, it's Power she personifies.

Invincible Radiant Woman Lioness, Roarer in the Flame,
Urania, Sekhmet, Sunna, rider of the hurricanes,
Oh Bride of the Sun, oh face of Glory splitting the thunderheads,
Grant us displays of Northern Lights, it's You I want to wed.

In a gentler mood befriend us, sparkling on the ocean's swell,
Rising from the foam as Venus in a pink and golden shell,
Attended by the Seasons, Eos, come to Earth and step ashore
With castanets and moans of bliss, oh Flora, it's You I adore.

Show me forever, Aphrodite, dreams and visions of You,
Show me feral and secret temples of Frigga high and true.
Salacia, Aurora, Philommeides, you melt glaciers with your heat,
Victoria and Gloria, paradise blossoms each time you speak.

The seven sacred rivers of truth will set the world alight,
Ganga, Ushas, Voluptas, Narmada, soft as a summer night,
Anima Mundi, serpent embracer, river goddess of the Nile,
Elatus, Corona, Cunctipotent, banish evil with a smile.

And when your vision fades away and Hecate comes at last,
There you'll find the Rainbow Bridge, and Iris in the grass,
Cascades splashing and whirlpool patterns in Her galactic gaze,
As Nuit she'll envelop you and start another blaze.

Oh never turn your face away, I pant to brush your lips,
From your hair electricity surges into your fingertips.
Adora, Lava, Erato, Nyx, oh Beauty everywhere,
Celestial dancing maidens, take me if you dare!

As Aphrodite is one of my patron goddesses this is brilliant!! I think Im going to give this a whirl on Friday after Ive had a love bath!

Aphrodite's Sacred Milk & Flower Bath Recipe

1 liter (quart) milk
10 drops orange essential oil
6 drops ylang ylang essential oil
2 drops jasmine essential oil
4 drops neroli essential oil
4 drops sandalwood essential oil

While bath is filling, heat the milk in a saucepan (taking care not to boil
it) and mix the essential oils into the warm milk.
To use: Pour the milk and oil mixture into the bath just before entering and
relax for at least 20 minutes, adding hot water as needed to keep the
temperature comfortable. Light a few candles and add a fresh vase of flowers
to attune with Aphrodite's energy.

Aphrodite is the Goddess of love and beauty. According to myth, she sprang up
from the sea, fully formed, upon a giant seashell. Aphrodite was free to
choose her lover and gave birth to Eros, God of love. The Aphrodite archetype
governs a woman's enjoyment of love, beauty, sexuality, and sensuality.
Creative work is also fueled by the intense passions of Aphrodite.

:D

Hmm...the milk and flower bath, did you find that on the internet or in a book? I am interested in finding more specific information about all of the Greek Gods....such as bath mixes, oils, inceses....even mythology (of which is more easy to find)...specifically Athena, but all the Greeks.
Any insight?
Thanks in advance, and Be Well,
ShyHawk
