About Aphrodite (pronounced Af-roh-Dy-tee):  Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of passion and love, who's associated wtih the planet Venus.  Aphrodite's name means "foam born," as legend says that she sprang from her father Uranus's castrated genitals, which were cast into the ocean.  Thus, Aphrodite represents unabashed female sexual energy.  Aphrodite helps women feel comfortable with their bodies and sexuality.  She helps both genders to experience more passion in their realtionsips, and to become more balanced as far as individual male-female energy is concerned."
