Crowned with a triple tower-like tiara and her form adorned with symbolic creatures representative of her spiritual powers, Diana stood for the source of that imperishable doctrine which, flowing from the bosom of the Great Multimammia, is the spiritual food of those aspiring men and women who have consecrated their lives to the contemplation of reality. As the physical body of man receives its nutriment from the Great Earth Mother, so the spiritual nature of man is fed from the never-failing fountains of Truth pouring outward from the invisible worlds.

THE TRADITION TO HONORING MOTHERS DATES BACK TO THE ANCIENT GREEK FESTIVALS DEDICATED TO THE MOTHER GODDESS, "RHEA". THE ANCIENT FESTIVAL WAS CALLED "HILARIA". IT USUALLY INCLUDED THREE DAYS OF GAMES, PARADES, ENTERTAINMENT, AND FOOD. RHEA WAS A TITAN, THE DAUGHTER OF GAIA AND THE MOTHER OF MANY IN THE GREEK PANTHEON...INCLUDING ZEUS. SHE WAS THE GREEK MOTHER GODDESS OF TIME; SHE REPRESENTS THE FLOW OF TIME AND THE POWER OF ANCESTRAL BLESSINGS.
HER NAME MEANS 'FLOW' AND 'EASE', AND HER CALMING ESSENCE IS SAID TO RELIEVE THE SUFFERING AND CHAOS IN THE WORLD. AS THE WIFE OF KRONOS, SHE REPRESENTS THE ETERNAL FLOW OF TIME AND GENERATIONS. MENSTRUAL BLOOD IS SACRED TO HER, DEMONSTRATING HER POWER OF FEMININE FERTILITY. AND, AS THE GREAT MOTHER, THE 'FLOW' REPRESENTS THE LIFE BLOOD, BIRTH WATERS, AND NOURISHING MILK.
MAY YOU ALL HAVE A JOYOUS DAY FILLED WITH MUCH LOVE AND PEACE.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL.

APHRODITE (pronounced af-row-DIE-tee) is the Greek Goddess of sexual passion. She is often referred to as the Goddess of love, but it is not truly love that Aphrodite inspires. She is accompanied by her two sons, Eros (Love) and Himeros (Desire), as well as by the three Graces or Kharites and the Horai, Goddesses of the seasons. It was the Horai that first found Aphrodite, who was born from the sea foam which formed around the genitals of Ouranos, husband of Gaia, after he had been castrated by their son Kronos. Aphrodite is described as being the most beautiful of the Greek Goddesses, and rules over grace and beauty. In all, her realms include sex, desire, flirting, consummation of marriage, procreation, prostitution, impotence, merriment, love songs, peace, and the planet Venus.
Aphrodite had many lovers, both Gods and mortals, and many children. Her first love was the war God, Ares, but she ended up married to the deformed smith God, Hephaistos. Hephaistos was the son of Zeus and Hera, and Hera had cast him out of Mount Olympus, ashamed to have a deformed son. Hephaistos was raised to be a great smith, and he sent a golden throne to Hera, which bound her to it when she sat down. Zeus offered the hand of Aphrodite to whichever God could free Hera from the throne, and Aphrodite agreed, thinking that Ares would be strong enough. However, only Hephaistos could free Hera, and he married Aphrodite. She kept up an affair with Ares until they were caught by Hephaistos, who then divorced her. From then on, Aphrodite was known as the consort of Ares--love and war, always together.
In one myth, Zeus uses Aphrodite's own powers against her. Zeus had the ability to use any other God's powers for himself, and he was angry with Aphrodite for always causing him to feel passion for mortals. He made Aphrodite lust after a mortal man, Ankhises, and with him she had a son, Aeneas, who fought in the Trojan War and then went on to found Rome. Her other children include Deimos (God of fear, with Ares), Phobos (God of panic, with Ares), Hermaphroditos (God of hermaphrodites, with Hermes), and Priapos (God of garden fertility, with Dionysos).
