04: Miriam - Rewilding Aphrodite

Last year I discovered – like many before me – that the image we’ve inherited of Aphrodite has been defanged beyond recognition. That in Aphrodite’s deepest core, the dark feminine is pulsating, alive, erotic, charged and coiled like a black serpent.

I realised that we mortal women are much like Goddess Aphrodite… we, too, have been taught to subdue and civilise our wild erotic impulses in order to ‘pass’ in a culture where the dark femme is unwelcome, exiled and considered dangerous.

TEMPLE OF APHRODITE was born from this initiation with the Goddess. My new 5-week online container for women was built on three pillars of: Sacred Sexual Embodiment, Goddess Wisdom
and Light + Dark Feminine Erotics.

In this episode of The Oracle Podcast, I take you back to the goddess's dark feminine origins and reveal the ways in which Aphrodite had her wild feminine core removed to be more palatable under patriarchy.
