Book review: "Pagan Portals - Aphrodite: Encountering the Goddess of Love & Beauty & Initiation" by Irisanya Moon . This book not only shows that there is a lot more to discover about the Greek goddess Aphrodite than her best known aspects of love and beauty, there are also some accessible suggestions about rituals, celebrations, offerings, spells and more that you can do when you have been called by Aphrodite. There is also a long quote from a historical source about her origin and some of her myths. In the appendix you can find some more literature and links to websites about Her. I'd also like to mention that the author uses gender-inclusive language and states, "In my own experience of Aphrodite, I find that She is accepting of all bodies, body histories, genders, gender histories, sexual histories, sexual natures, etc. so the idea of a practice that only acknowledges women seems limiting. Though I am certain She is quite happy with a practice that focuses on Her." (quote from p. 33) This #bookreview is also on Goodreads, with ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐.
