Aphrodite Made Me Do It (Myth and Magick Book 1)

Product Information

Now this book. It was kind of okay-ish. It’s partly narrated from Aphrodite’s POV and partly from poet and sometimes conversation between both. Its theme is not specific but mainly focuses on love, letting-go-of-past, be-your-self, self-healing etc... It also annoyed me that they went through ALL that with the Rev and in the end they didn’t care to get his DNA to do a test to see if he was the father. I hate it when shows do that. This build up and no payoff. And the guy was a jerk and I wanted to punch him for the vile things he was saying to Wynonna. Venus was one of the first planets to be noticed by our ancestors since it can be observed with the naked eye at dawn and dusk. Because of this, the ancient Greeks had two names for Venus: Phosphorus in the morning and Hesperus in the evening. Aphrodite is a very complex and unique character. She is intelligent and strong, but she also has a side of softness. The best thing I noticed is how the author wrote every character in this book. She was good at creating every character to be unique in their way. I never felt like she made them one-dimensional. Because of this, you will feel each relationship is unique. There’s no actual plot, and it’s about love during wartime.

I usually really enjoy longer poems, but here, the supposed longer poems aren't giving me what they are suppose to : they usually consist of a succession of short sentences that seem more like a bullet-pointed draft than an actual poem. Also, some if not all the pictures and drawing - beautiful - have nothing to do with the poems they are associated with, it's disturbing and it makes the poetry book seem really cluttered, which is highly unpleasant.Waverly sees Doc hanging around and assures him he doesn’t have to look so worried; Wynonna is strong. She tells him to take a walk, because standing outside the bedroom door isn’t helping anyone. My interest in this collection spanned from my interest in mythology and Aphrodite herself, having dedicated a lot of my magical working towards her. So, naturally, once spotting this collection, I knew I had to find it and read it for myself. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. After a little time, men did what they always do. They didn’t try to understand, they tried to explain. The two stars are solely for this poem : "Men wrote the myths down and called them history, and time has dragged them further from the truth. Pandora’s jar became a box. Eve’s pomegranate, an apple. All the details change but one: it is a woman with her hand on the door to Hell." When it was discovered that both were the same object in the sky, they named it Aphrodite in honor of their most beautiful goddess. The major symbols associated with her are the rose, the dove, and the swan.

they married me off in the stories So they could call me an adulteress, but I brought the god of war to his knees”It’s a story of assault, and survival, and having our stories rewritten without our consent. It’s worship and blasphemy, anger and heartache, capped off with tenderness and self-love and learning to cherish yourself no matter how many people in your life have failed to do so. Drunk Nicole tells Waverly she’s pretty but Waverly isn’t here for compliments she’s here for answers! I was touched by the bonding between Doc, Dolls, and Jeremy too. I’m still a bit concerned that Jeremy’s crushes on Doc and possibly Dolls too are grist for only humor – though gentle – at the gay character’s expense, but to see that Doc and Dolls treat him with genuine affection despite their surface irritation with his overchatty enthusiasm for them is sweet. And yes, also color me intrigued as to why Dolls could physically connect his punch with ghost Marshal Reeves. I wonder if that ability will come into play in the next few eps? Aphrodite Made Me Do It is a dazzling portal of a collection. Trista Mateer erupts with spells of thunder and then gifts you with a careful platter of language to cast them yourself."
