Prayer to God(dess)

Prayer to God(dess)

Our God(dess)

Who dwells in Paradise

Blessed are your Names

Thy reign of Peace come

Thy plan for Earth

Be-come

As it is already in Paradise

Give us this day in Humility

Provide us from your Bounty

Our daily Bread and

Mutual peace of Mind

And forgive us our Anger

Even as we try to Forgive

The anger in Others

Let us not fail to Be the

Good side of Human

And Protect us from

Our less than Human

Dark Side.

Amen.

Happy Birthday Goddess – Aphrodite/Venus

I am told that the earth goddess is hundreds of thousands of years old in human civilization but that the legend of Aphrodite, the Greek name, Venus, the Roman name, of the goddess of love, born off Cyrus, is close to ten thousand years old.


That her real birthday is supposed to be sometime in the month of September, the 8^th or 26^th, 7989 B.C.E.?


Happy ten thousandth plus or minus a few months and or centuries.  


The thing missing with all these johnny come lately monotheistic male only gods is a sense of the eternal feminine.  Aphrodite/Venus is perhaps due for a return as part of the human equation of the new global culture.

Aphrodite/Venus

"Foam-arisen" Aphrodite was born of the sea foam near Paphos, Cyprus after Cronus severed Uranus' genitals and threw them behind him into the sea, while the Erinyes emerged from the drops of blood. Hesiod's Theogony described that the genitals "were carried over the sea a long time, and white foam arose from the immortal flesh; with it a girl grew" to become Aphrodite. Aphrodite floated in on a scallop shell. When she arose, she was hailed as "Cyprian," and is referred to as such often, especially in the poetic works of Sappho. This myth of a fully mature Venus (the Roman name for Aphrodite), Venus Anadyomene ("Venus Rising From the Sea") was one of the iconic representations of Aphrodite, made famous in a much-admired painting by Apelles, now lost, but described in the Natural History of Pliny the Elder…”
