Aphrodite means "arisen from the foam" in ancient Greek
April is her month – and by her, I mean Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
Many believe February is Aphrodite’s month because of all the love energies
that swirl around Valentine’s Day, but February is Brigid’s month, the goddess
of the sacred flame who burns her way out of winter into the first awakenings
of spring. In April we find ourselves firmly in middle spring and Aphrodite’s
world is awake and alive in color, flesh and blood. Her passions stir within us
now and call us to our sacred work. April is a wind month, with lots of
momentum and energy to propel us forward.
Aphrodite's sacred animals: the sea turtle, the dove, the myrtle (innocence, purity), the swan, the swallow, the goose, a bird called iynx, the bees, the goats, the dolphin (the messenger of love), sparrow, goose, hare (a gift of love). More on April is Aphrodite's Month.
