  • The Evolution of Venus: from garden goddess to mother of Rome

    The article details the dramatic evolution of the Roman goddess Venus, who originated not as a major Olympian but as a humble native Italic spirit of gardens, vineyards, and springtime fertility. Her transformation began when the Romans syncretized her with the Greek goddess Aphrodite, adopting the myths of love and beauty.

    However, her most significant evolution was political: the Julian clan, including Caesar and Augustus, claimed her as their divine ancestor (Venus Genetrix) through the Trojan hero Aeneas.

  • Danger of Poetry – a poem warning of the Muses you might meet.

    This poem is not a metaphor. This truly happened.

    My dear diary, if not you, who can I confide in?

    The truth is that after Aphrodite came to me, I was afraid to say the truth (the truth is this poem).

    I did not want to blog about being part of Aphrodite’s cult, which I guess I did not join; however, it is true that I have been in communication with her. Several eye-opening conversations and several poems.

    Some of the Aphrodite poems are the conversations we have had.

    The goddess loves to be written about.

    How did Dite come talk to me? She is a real entity spirit entity type of being, I guess. It is real, there are unseen beings. These beings can and do communicate with us. Poetry incoming.

    This was real, especially the soul marriage was real and the conversation is ongoing.

    With Love,

    Eve
