We are now in the heart of spring, it is the time when we celebrate Beltane! It is one of the most important festivals where just like Samhain the veil between the visible and the invisible is very thin. However, unlike Samhain, this time we are entering the luminous period. The days are getting longer and the beautiful Persephone has sounded the renewal by finishing her ascent from the underworld. It is said that Demeter is so happy to have found her daughter that she has brought nature back to life. The flowers are coming out and we celebrate love! So who better to guide us in this beautiful season than the beautiful and divine Aphrodite? The flower deity!
Touched by the sign of Taurus, it is Aphrodite pandemos who will vibrate in us to indulge in the pleasures of life with passion: love, celebration, dance, song! This goddess has, in fact, two facets, “Ourania” Aphrodite the celestial who is connected to art or “Pandemos”, Aphrodite the popular who reigned over cities and peoples. And it is the latter who will guide us in this season of Taurus governed by the planet Venus. It is time to live life to the fullest. The first warm rays give us back the smile and lightness of Aphrodite. We are then transported to a season where the goddess of flowers reigns, whose divine presence inspires everything that is beautiful and brilliant on Earth. In the Greek imagination, each perfume, each intoxicating essence pays homage to her. The ancient Greeks believed that the divine emanations of the goddess were at the very origin of perfume. In fact, Aphrodite was born on the island of Cyprus, this enchanting island known as the cradle of perfume. Cyprus, with its lush landscapes, its fragrant gardens, is a living ode to beauty and sensuality, a land where the essence of Aphrodite permeates every breeze. One of the great olfactory families bears her name "Cyprus".
In nature’s annual symphony, spring rises like an enchanting melody, vibrating at the core of our being and awakening in us a deep desire to celebrate life in all its splendor. It is a season when every bud that blooms, every ray of sunshine that caresses our skin, seems to invite us to abandon ourselves to the most exhilarating pleasures, to live with passion every precious moment that is offered to us. Love, that sweet feeling that embraces our hearts and ignites our souls, finds its most magnificent blossoming in spring.
In the heart of Spring, at Beltane, when nature is adorned with its most beautiful colors and the first rays of the sun warm our hearts, the veil with the spirits is very thin. This is the right time to invoke the warmth and benevolent spirit of Aphrodite in Taurus through this simple ritual:
Find a quiet place: Light a candle or incense in honor of Aphrodite (For example, take a container of water and arrange rose petals before lighting a floating candle or light a floral incense stick)
Oracle Reading: Shuffle your divinatory cards while focusing your intention on the energies of spring and Aphrodite. Ask a question or simply ask for advice for this season. Draw a card and meditate on its message.
Offering: Place a few petals in front of the candle as an offering to Aphrodite in gratitude for her guidance. Blow out the candle.
May this bright period open the door to ardent desires and love and may Aphrodite bring us her solar and warm energy! 💐 💖 🕊️
