Make room for love in your life and your home! To prepare for new relationships and to deepen the expression of feeling and intensity of your lovemaking, you have to create a center from which to renew your erotic spirit—your altar. Here, you can concentrate your energy, clarify your intentions, and make wishes come true! If you already have an altar, incorporate some special elements to enhance your sex life. As always, the more you use your altar, the more powerful your spells will be.
Your altar can sit on a low table, a big box, or any flat surface you decorate and dedicate to magic. One friend of mine has her sex altar at the head of her bed. Another Goth girl has hers in a cozy closet complete with a nestlike bed for magical trysts.
The Goddess of Love, Venus, rules this most popular day of the week, Friday. Small wonder this is the night for a tryst. To prepare yourself for a night of lovemaking, you should take a Goddess bath with the following potion in a special cup or bowl. I call mine the Venus Vial. Combine:
One cup sesame oil
Six drops orange blossom oil
Four drops gardenia oil
Stir with your fingers six times, silently repeating three times:
A few posts back, I posted the text of a medieval Latin hymn to the Goddess of Love from the 13th century “Little Renaissance.” At the time, I included a literal translation, but declined to translate it into poetry on the grounds that I couldn't do it justice.
What I had unwittingly done, of course, was to set myself a challenge.
(In the unlikely event that you've ever wondered what poets do while lying awake at night, you now know.)
So here's the best that I can do with it. You can even sing it to the same tune.
As winter grows near, warming toddies and drinks are the order of the day, especially after a being out in the cold for hours or at the end of feast This popular beverage gives an abundance of energy and can also be used as a love potion. These few ingredients can lead to many hours of happiness at the table or in your love life. Gather these ingredients:
I have to say, making my 2017 resolution to create a drawing of a Goddess a day has been rewarding, challenging, fun, and illuminating. I've had a great time sharing images of goddesses on my Facebook page every day, receiving feedback on my drawings, and getting ideas for new ones. I thought for today's Blog post, I'd write about Turan, a Goddess of ancient Etruria, or what today is known as Tuscany. The Etrurians are more commonly referred to as the Etruscans, which is how I will refer to them here.
There are a great many things about the Etruscans which still remain a mystery in the twenty-first century, mostly because their language has been only partially deciphered. What we can do is look at the art they created and see visually the things that mattered most to them.
