Goddess Book Club: Venus and Aphrodite

Venus and Aphrodite, A Biography of Desire

by Bettany Hughes 

The book that inspired Attachment Oil, the ultimate lore and world-building of Eleasium. I was inspired by Aphrodite's birth in Cyprus, appearance throughout historical texts across the Middle East, Greece, Rome and eventual transition to Venus and relation to an astrological planet. She was, and is a symbol that has been worshipped and projected upon, a true guiding force.
