Mythologic Geekery: Aphrodite

Alright, let me continue with Aphrodite. And she is super special. You know why? Because we know exactly where she came from, because her entire history is documented. We literally can trace her back to basically the very beginning. No comparative mythology needed

Part of the reason is, that she was just so god damn popular.

Aphrodite basically "descended" from the Phoenician Astarte. Astarte meanwhile was one of those universal goddesses. She stood for sex, beauty, healing, but also for war and hunting. She had a pretty big cult that spread into Ancient Greece, where she slowly was turned into Aphrodite.

Astarte, meanwhile, was influenced by Ishtar/Inanna from the Mesopotamian pantheon. Ishtar and Inanna are the same goddess, it is just that Ishtar was the semitic name given to her, while Inanna was the Mesopotamian and Sumarian name, with the later going back a lot further.

Inanna was associated with sex and beauty, but also with war and political power. And yes, there is some theories that Athena, too, was influenced by Ishtar as well. The semetic people also associated Ishtar as a "queen of the sky" and though already that the planet Venus represented her. So, yeah, that association goes back a long while.

Now, of course, pre-Mesopotamia we do no longer have written stuff about her. But we have enough idols found that it is pretty clear this mythologic entity was around before.

We are fairly certain, that she started out as a dawn goddess (as dawn was already something associated with Ishtar and Inanna), that hence already had the entire "beauty" thing going on, as both things were associated a lot. And because beauty and sex are kinda linked, that was picked up soon enough.

Fun fact: Rapunzel from the fairy tale? Yeah, she is probably decendent from the same dawn goddess. Just that she over time got divorced from her godly context.

Darksiders Day 3: Fallen

A little late, but as you can see, I had a good excuse!🤣😂. The detail I dedicated while also having to improvise for this to get it done in time was pain, but Astarte is one of my fav bosses from genesis (But her song is my top fav), she was perfect for the prompt "Fallen". Hope ya like and stay tuned!

𒀭𒈹, The Queen of Heaven

"She stirs confusion and chaos against those who are disobedient to her, speeding carnage and inciting the devastating flood, clothed in terrifying radiance. It is her game to speed conflict and battle, untiring, strapping on her sandals."

Working the Grimorium Verum (P1)

A few weeks ago I decided that I was going to start working the Grimorium Verum. I read and reread and rereread the Grimoire and as much supplemental material as I could get my hands on (I'm referring to all of JsK's pdf books by Hadean Press and that one conjure codex entry by Al Cumins).

Goal/Intent

With that said my primary goal right now is to work towards creating a clay skull, created to the specs Jsk outlined in his notes on the Grimoire in his edition of the book. It is essentially reworking the invisibility spell of the second part into a spell that binds a spirit to the skull. Rather, in his words, "I strongly recommend making a crossroads the place of interment in a reconstruction of this rite using seven coins. The intention of this adaptation would be to make a magical head as a central feature of work with these spirits, a natural extension of the underlying symbolism," (The True Grimoire 160). The only change I am doing to what JsK states is that I am adding grave dirt to the clay for the skull.

The Work I've done thus far

Wednesday, 8/16/23, I began working to get the consecrating the materials necessary for the work. I started the second hour of Mercury at my local graveyard in my town. I asked the spirits of the graveyard to lead me to the grave most suited for my work. I was expecting to be led to a town founder or someone who died violently, rather they sent me to the grave of an old lady who died a hundred years ago on my birthday. This was not intentional on my end. I saw the grave from behind and I felt as though I was being pushed towards it and that it was the right choice for the work. I took the dirt left a coin and promised to pray for her for the next three nights.

I then got home as fast as possible so I could have the second half to craft and consecrate the Asperger and Aspergillus. For the Asperger, I used a black ceramic bowl that I painted the appropriate god names on. For the aspergillus, I took the three herbs, rosemary, (pepper)mint, and oregano (technically you are supposed to use Majoram, but I could not find any in my area and I plan to get the proper plant in the future, but for now both are closely related and I don't think it will do much harm to my work). I consecrated them according to the method in the Third part of the grimoire. Reciting the 7 penitential psalms took long than I thought it would.

Thursday, 8/17/23, in the second hour of Jupiter I engraved a spoon and a knife with Heramael's name and seal. The intention is based out of Goetic Pharamakos, by Jsk where they are used to collect plants in nature for me to work with, such as the branches for the wands. In the 1 night hour of Jupiter I consecrated the two items, however, I slightly adapted the consecration from Jsk's book on Eleogap so that it was to be a general consecration instead of an asperger and aspergillus consecration. The difference between it and the Grimoire's consecration is that it is Thelemic and instead of the psalms it uses chapters 3 and 5 from Liber LXV, which I thought would mean it would be shorter, well it was in the sense that for all things that after you waft the tools of the censer, you are supposed to recite the 7 psalms and psalm 71 and 116, so 21 psalms in total. Personally, I think there is a point where the more you recite over a ritual object the less of an effect it has on it. I could be wrong. Anyhow, below are pictures of the spoon and knife before I consecrated them.

If you have read this far. I thank you and apologize for the length and potential boringness of this blog post. My goal is to generate interest in the grimoire that is less about conjuring all the spirits in it and more about creating spirit relationships. As well as to document my progress and create discussion.
