Aphrodite is often reduced to a goddess of romance and beauty — but this is only the surface of her power. At her core, Aphrodite is the force that draws life toward itself. She is attraction, cohesion, longing, creation, and the magnetic pulse that says yes to being alive.

Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is celebrated around 1st February and marks the first harvest of the year. It’s a turning point on the Wheel of the Year — the moment when the lush fullness of summer begins its gentle shift toward autumn.
