Regardless of time, development of culture and prevailing historical features, every people, every nation had and will have their own ideas about divine beauty, eternal love and the power of goodness, which are reflected in many beautiful myths and legends. This is how a person works: despite all his shortcomings, he intuitively feels that it is in this world that he is in the first place. This is best understood by representatives of the fine line. Perhaps that is why in the ancient myths about beauty and harmony, the main role is played not by God, but by the goddess of love. History shows that a man, despite his strength and abilities, is clearly losing in this area. Let's dive into the world of these wonderful legends.
Greek goddess of love
The name of Aphrodite has long been considered a symbol of beauty and charm. According to the ancient Greeks, the goddess of love came out of the sea, more precisely from the sea foam, which is why she is also called "foam-born." She isshe patronized everyone who had this wonderful feeling in their hearts, as well as composers and artists who composed their immortal works on the theme of love. Aphrodite brought love and beauty into the world, but at the same time she never showed respect for marriage bonds, so the Greek goddess of love often clashed with Hera, the guardian of marital fidelity. On Olympus, she had a husband - the god of blacksmithing and fire, Hephaestus. He was not too handsome, and therefore the frivolous Aphrodite sometimes cheated on him, as a result of which Harmony and Eros were born.
Egyptian goddess of love
The ancient pyramid builders had their own idea of the ideal embodiment of femininity. The Egyptians revered the tender, sensual and ardent Hathor. She was crazy about music and dancing, for this reason, the sistrum, an ancient musical instrument, somewhat reminiscent of a rattle, became her symbol. The Egyptians even had a special amulet with his image, which they wore around their necks to protect them from evil forces and to protect the goddess in matters of the heart. Hathor took care of young couples and did everything to make their married life happy.
The goddess of love among the ancient Slavs
For our distant ancestors, Lada was the patroness of marriage and the hearth. Everyone loved her, especially women. The goddess of love was especially honored by the newlyweds. Flowers, honey, live birds and berries were often brought to her, and in the sacred groves of Lade, scarves, embroideries and rings were left on the trees. Often in her honorheld festivities. Lada was very attentive to the requests of people and for this she deserved another name - Shchedrynia. In the old days, from January 6 to 19 (now Epiphany is celebrated at this time), celebrations were held in her honor and generosity songs were sung, which praised peace, harmony and love for people. Ice-holes were made in lakes and rivers, and grain, pancakes and pies were thrown into them, and colored shreds were laid out on ice for decoration. In the paintings, Lada often took on the image of a beautiful young blond woman holding her son, the winged god Lel, in her arms. A temple in her honor could be found in almost every ancient Russian city. This goddess of love had her own special sign - a circle with a triangle inscribed inside it, directed downward with an acute angle. These figures were chosen for a reason and carry a secret meaning. The circle is the universe, and the triangle is its center. Thus, we see that the Slavs believed that the basis of everything was love and harmony. Carnelian was believed to be the stone of Lada, and therefore it was often included in various jewelry.
Happiness in your home
Each of the goddesses of love is charming in its own way. If you believe in feng shui, place an image of one of them in the helper area (northwest sector of the house). You ask why not in the sector of love? Yes, because there should be paired items and a single symbol here can cause the opposite effect. But the assistant zone is the most ideal place. As a symbol, you can use a figurine, embroidery, a picture, or just its sign. After that younotice the help of the goddess: the aura in the house will become better, and in life there will be more mutual and shared love.
