Why do you feel like Aphrodite would be a fan of slashing men's throats with a perfume bottle?
Aphrodite can be Aphrodite Eleemon, The merciful
But she can also be Aphrodite Enoplios, Bearing weapons
Aphrodite can be Aphrodite Pandemos, she who is of all people
But Aphrodite is also Aphrodite Androphonos, the killer of men
Aphrodite is the lover of Aries, Aphrodite Areia, Aries the god of war and bloodlust. She is Aphrodite Epitumbidia, the goddess who lays upon graves. She is Aphrodite Skotia, queen of the beautiful darkness, she is AphroditeTumborukhos, the grave digger.Ā
Aphrodite is the taste of the sweetest lover on your lips, and blood in the back of your throat. She is the the lightness and newness coming from the sea at dawn, and the darkest night on a moonless ocean.Ā
She is so much more than the goddess of love and happiness. Just as easily as she can send you over the edge of joy, sheāll bring you crashing down on the bottom of heartbreak.Ā
This was one of my blogsā¦as Iāve aged Iāve learned;
She is the goddess of righteous indignation, and slow, methodical retribution. She is the goddess the bear never hopes to meet, and no god can help you if you harm her children. She is the goddess of choosing yourself, even if it is painful and ugly and hard sometimes. She lays on the graves of those who died not by her hand, but by wishing harm on her own.
