In episode 112 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew and Kristin Lisenby discuss the Golden One and Queen of the Dawn - the goddess Aphrodite. Inspired by their recent travels, in this conversation, Kristin and Kate highlight Aphrodite’s connection to roses, Sappho, Barbie, and the color pink. They consider Aphrodite’s many names (She Who Rises from the Waves, Gravedigger, She of the Tombs) and her adoration of glamour magick. They also contemplate Aphrodite as an archetype and her relationship to the dark side of love.Sources:Episode 92: Goddesses of Sex and WarEpisode 108: The Furies and HarpiesVenus and Aphrodite, Bettany HughesWhen God Was a Woman, Merlin StoneGoddesses in Every Woman, Dr. Jean BolenAphrodite - Theoi.com Peter KingsleySappho’s Ode to AphroditeKristin Chang Pynk by Janelle MonaeThe Barbie MovieValerie Steele, editor of the book “Pink: The History of a Punk, Pretty, Powerful Color” Join the Tamed Wild Coven!Subscribe to the Tamed Wild Quarterly Box - a quarterly delivery of magic & earth medicine.
