All Acts of Love and Pleasure are My Rituals: Worship of Aphrodite in the Ancient World

Presented by Jason Mankey.

Aphrodite is beloved in the Pagan world, but how was she really worshipped by the ancient Greeks and Romans? In this workshop we'll explore Aphrodite's origins in the Middle East, and how the once former protectress became the goddess of love and beauty. The workshop will also explore the idea of "Sacred Prostitution" and look at how it was applied to the worship of Aphrodite. Whether you are a lonely heart looking for the goddess of love, or one of her many priestesses, you're bound to learn something about Her at this workshop.
