EP 16: Who the HELL is Aphrodite?

FINALLY, I get around to recording an episode about Aphrodite and Her mythology! In this episode, I dive into some of Aphrodite's key myths, some of Her historical context and epithets, as well as my own journey with the Goddess. I chat a little about Aphrodite as a queer deity, and how She has helped me understand my own gender and sexuality. This episode will hopefully help you get a foundational knowledge about Aphrodite in Her whole capacity. And must-listen episode for anyone who is curious about Aphrodite in any capacity.
