Love & Hate
Aphrodite, our Goddess of Love and the Goddess of Hate, Queen of the antithetical forces, the Divine marriage of both Peace and War, Love and Hate!
Love and Hate are two most important human emotions: Love is the generative, creative force that increases what is created and improves it.
Hate is the force that casts down and destroys; for that reason, both Hate and Love are accepted and must be used wisely, for one is a bouquet of flowers and the other is a blade that can cut them.
Blessed are those who use Balance and Thoughtful Consciousness to wield the two Great Sisters of Love and Hate.
The disciple, puzzled, asked Aphrodite: "Queen, how can you be both the incarnation of Love and also the incarnation of Hate?"
Aphrodite responded kindly to the Disciple: "I am also the Queen of Cosmic Balance. Love yourself to grow, but hate the aspects of yourself that
you must improve upon, so you can love yourself all the more!"
Ἀφροδίτη, θεὰ Ἔρωτος καὶ Μίσους, βασίλισσα τῶν ἀντιθέτων δυνάμεων, τοῦ θείου γάμου Εἰρήνης καὶ Πολέμου, Ἔρωτος καὶ Μίσους.
Ἔρως καὶ Μῖσος δύο μεγάλα ἀνθρώπινα πάθη· ὁ μὲν Ἔρως γεννητικὴ καὶ δημιουργικὴ δύναμις, ἣ τὸ γεγονὸς αὐξάνει καὶ βελτιοῖ.
Τὸ δὲ Μῖσος καταβάλλει καὶ ἀναιρεῖ· ἀμφότερα δεκτὰ καὶ μετὰ σοφίας χρηστέα· τὸ μὲν ἄνθεα, τὸ δὲ μάχαιρα τὰ ἄνθεα τέμνουσα.
Μακάριοι οἱ μετὰ ἰσορροπίας καὶ συνειδήσεως ταῖς δύο μεγάλαις ἀδελφαῖς χρώμενοι.
Ὁ μαθητὴς ἤρετο· «Βασίλισσα, πῶς Ἔρωτος καὶ Μίσους ἅμα εἰκὼν εἶ;»
Ἡ Ἀφροδίτη εὐμενῶς ἔφη· «Καὶ τῆς κοσμικῆς ἰσορροπίας βασίλισσά εἰμι. Ἀγάπα σεαυτόν, ἵνα αὐξάνῃς· μίσει δὲ τὰ ἐν σοὶ διορθώσεως δεόμενα, ἵνα πλειόνως σεαυτὸν ἀγαπᾷς».
Erōs kai Misos · Transliteration
Aphroditē, thea Erōtos kai Misous, basilissa tōn antithetōn dynameōn, tou theiou gamou Eirēnēs kai Polemou, Erōtos kai Misous.
Erōs kai Misos dyo megala anthrōpina pathē; ho men Erōs gennētikē kai dēmiourgikē dynamis, hē to gegonos auxanei kai beltioi.
To de Misos kataballei kai anairei; amphotera dekta kai meta sophias khrēstea; to men anthea, to de makhaira ta anthea temnousa.
Makarioi hoi meta isorropias kai syneidēseōs tais dyo megalais adelphais khrōmenoi.
Ho mathētēs ēreto; «Basilissa, pōs Erōtos kai Misous hama eikōn ei;»
Hē Aphroditē eumenōs ephē; «Kai tēs kosmikēs isorropias basilissa eimi. Agapa seauton, hina auxanēis; misei de ta en soi diorthōseōs deomena, hina pleionōs seauton agapais».

Prayer:
“Aphrodite, blessed are your children of Love and Hate,
Blessed is your Balance and Union,
Blessed is your ability to create and destroy that you gave to Mankind,
Let us be wise partakers in your bestowed Gifts!”
Ancient Greek Code PrayerἜρως καὶ Μῖσος
Ἀφροδίτη, μακάρια τὰ τέκνα σου Ἔρωτος καὶ Μίσους·
μακαρία ἡ ἰσορροπία καὶ ἕνωσίς σου·
μακαρία ἡ τοῦ δημιουργεῖν καὶ ἀναιρεῖν δύναμις ἣν ἀνθρώποις ἔδωκας·
σοφῶς τῶν δωρεῶν σου μετασχεῖν ἡμῖν γένοιτο.
Aphroditē, makaria ta tekna sou Erōtos kai Misous;
makaria hē isorropia kai henōsis sou;
makaria hē tou dēmiourgein kai anairein dynamis hēn anthrōpois edōkas;
sophōs tōn dōreōn sou metaskhein hēmin genoito.
The prayer honors Aphrodite’s paired powers of love and hate and asks for wisdom in their use.
