your visage as a giant statue. flashing back and forth in equal parts flesh and stone, bending down towards me like a willow.

hand raised above my body, crushing something between your palm and fingers. this viscous, liquid gold crawling down your arm and on top of my head. it is shimmering a deep, molten brown as it lingers down my neck and back.

I open my mouth, and you laugh. it reverberates against the walls we are housed in.

"Ariadne’s heroic excellence is that she knew how to allow herself to be loved. The idea that truly allowing oneself to be fully seen and to be the beloved as an act of heroism is a powerful lesson."

- The Waters of Mnemosyne, by Gwendolyn Reece

Feeding my new eikon with a favorite perfume of mine, Bath of Venus by Black Phoenix Alchemy. As this will be the centerpiece of my shrine as I work my way through the spells of the PGM, dedicated to She of love and magic, it felt only appropriate to drape her in perfumed scarves and ancestral garnets.

Bath of Venus has become a staple of my glamours and love workings, in no small part because its rich and spiced smell reminds me of Peruvian Agua de Florida if it were steeped in a milky tea. The formula, as described by its chemists:

Velvet rose petals, white silk, red benzoin, sweet black labdanum, honeyed wine, kyphi tar, scarlet amber, and frankincense-smoked carnation petals.

While I adore this potent, Venusian blend, it was a limited stock which has long since sold out. This bottle, my very last, is kept for occasions which demand the utmost Venus energy... Such as honoring a new divinity in Her new shrine.
