In History
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.

It was believed that she helped people in finding love and forging strong relationships.

People believed that honoring Aphrodite led to better relationships and brought them closer to finding their true loves. Her divine beauty and seductive powers captivated people, and they paid homage to her through temples, statues, and festivals.

LOVERS

Despite being married to Hephestus she was continuously unfaithful and her most well-known consort was Ares. However, she also slept with Poseidon, Hermes, Dionysus, Adonis, and Anchises.

Of Aphrodite’s mortal lovers, the most important were the Trojan shepherd Anchises, by whom she became the mother of Aeneas, and the handsome youth Adonis (in origin a Semitic nature deity and the consort of Ishtar-Astarte), who was killed by a boar while hunting and was lamented by women at the festival of Adonia. The cult of Adonis had underworld features, and Aphrodite was also connected with the dead at Delphi.

Today, people still honor Aphrodite as a symbol of beauty, love, and sexuality.

REMEMBER – the ancient Greeks believed that all their deities were immortal.

Aphrodite Oil: Make Your Own

Making an Aphrodite oil is a popular way to harness her energy in magic. You can make the oil by blending sweet almond oil with rose petals, vanilla extract, and jasmine essential oil.

• Rose (Rosa damascena): Rose is the classic symbol of love, beauty, and romance, making it an essential oil for Aphrodite. It’s deeply connected to the heart chakra and promotes love energy.
• Jasmine (Jasminum grandiflorum): A sensual and heady floral scent, Jasmine promotes attraction, passion, and heightened love energy.
• Ylang-Ylang (Cananga odorata): This oil has a deeply sensual aroma, often used to attract love, enhance beauty, and increase desire.
• Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia): Lavender is great for promoting peace, emotional balance, and relaxation. It’s often used to encourage self-love and inner beauty.
• Sandalwood (Santalum album): Sandalwood is grounding and calming, but it also enhances spiritual connections and can amplify love spells and sensual rituals.

Plus

• Rose Petals: Symbolic of Aphrodite’s love and beauty, adding rose petals (dried or fresh) to your oil can infuse the magical qualities of Aphrodite.
• Lavender: A common herb that promotes love, peace, and emotional healing.
• Rosemary: Known for its purifying and protective qualities, rosemary is also used in love spells to enhance attractiveness and strength of the magic.
• Hibiscus Flowers: These flowers are often associated with beauty and sensuality and can enhance the magic of the oil.

optional:

• A small charm or token representing Aphrodite (such as a seashell, dove, or rose) can be added to the bottle as a symbol of her energy and blessings.
• Rose Quartz: Known as the “love stone,” rose quartz encourages unconditional love and harmony in relationships. It’s a great stone to add to Aphrodite oil for love work.
