Connecting with Aphrodite – First Steps

There are so many joyful and wonderful ways to connect with the Radiant Goddess of Love! Iโ€™m going to share a few that helped me to connect with Her in the beginnings of my journey. Many of these are material in nature - physical things that helped me to get into the right headspace to work with Her. Others are more reading and research based.

Youโ€™ve done some great personal introspection, feel pretty confident about your spiritual skills, and youโ€™ve taken a look at the personal considerations in the previous blog post (Going Deeper - Are You Ready to Dive In?).
