Aphroditê-Kamakshi - Devi of Love 🩷

In Kaênaastha, Aphroditê-Kamakshi is the Devi (Goddess) of Romantic Love, Sexual Love, Lust, Beauty, & more. She is personified as Bisexual Trans Woman of Color (traditionally Indian)

Similar to the story of Aphroditê in Greek mythos - Aphroditê-Kamakashi was born from the severed penis of Ouranos. The Kaênaasthan myth does have some key differences, but for all intents and purposes the stories are basically the same.

I wanted to honor the original Greek myth, and the inherent trans imagery that comes from a woman being created from a phallus. I also wanted to center queer love and trans identity in the mythology of Kaênaastha (almost all of the Kaênaasthan gods are sexually/romantically queer - and a handful of them are trans/enby/gender-fluid).

In most mythology, we have to draw parallels between the language we use today and how that correlates with the myths of the past. In Kaênaastha, I wanted there to be no need for drawing these parallels by making the queer aspects of The Devis not only obvious but stated in modern terms.

As it Was. As it Is. As it Shall Be
