Serving the Goddess of Love with Ferocity and Compassion
This January marked seven years since my initiation as a priestess of Aphrodite. It feels like it’s been so much longer than that. Maybe that’s how it works with life callings.

I've said it before, and I will say it again: We must stand for Love. The chaos and hatred CANNOT continue. The events at the US Capitol today were inexcusable. We must stand together against violence and oppression. We must stand together for truth and justice. And we must stand together for Love. I am reposting this Prayer to Aphrodite. I feel like we need it right now.
