Who is Aphrodite? Standing on a seashell, symbol of the vulva, she arises from the ocean, fully formed, exquisitely graceful, her face aglow with enchanting beauty. In her presence, colors become deeper and more radiant, as if suffused with an otherworldly light. Dullness and boredom scatter as she approaches in a golden cloud, trailing flowers and pearls and wafting heavenly perfume. With her, she brings charm, magic, and grace, enlivening the sober fabric of daily life with frivolous strands of shimmering gold. In her presence, rippling, causeless joy and laughter bubble up from our hearts like champagne. When Aphrodite blesses our lovemaking, all sense of fragmentation vanishes and we feel healed, holy, and whole. Like a rocket shooting out beyond the earth's gravitational field, earthly pleasure then crosses over into heavenly joy, and sexual union blossoms into sacred communion.
