Love & Hate

Aphrodite, our Goddess of Love and the Goddess of Hate, Queen of the antithetical forces, the Divine marriage of both Peace and War, Love and Hate!

Love and Hate are two most important human emotions: Love is the generative, creative force that increases what is created and improves it.

Hate is the force that casts down and destroys; for that reason, both Hate and Love are accepted and must be used wisely, for one is a bouquet of flowers and the other is a blade that can cut them.

Blessed are those who use Balance and Thoughtful Consciousness to wield the two Great Sisters of Love and Hate.

The disciple, puzzled, asked Aphrodite: "Queen, how can you be both the incarnation of Love and also the incarnation of Hate?"

Aphrodite responded kindly to the Disciple: "I am also the Queen of Cosmic Balance. Love yourself to grow, but hate the aspects of yourself that you must improve upon, so you can love yourself all the more!"
