Regardless of the time, the development of culture andhistorical features, every nation, every nation had and will have its own ideas about divine beauty, eternal love and the power of good, which are reflected in many beautiful myths and legends. So the person is arranged: despite all his shortcomings, he intuitively feels that it is in this world that is in the first place. This is best understood by beautiful women. Perhaps, that is why, in the ancient myths of 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 ability, is clearly losing in this sphere. Let's plunge a little into the world of these wonderful traditions.
Greek goddess of love
The name of Aphrodite has long been considered a symbol of beauty andcharm. If you believe the ancient Greeks, the goddess of love came out of the sea, more precisely from sea foam, so it is also called "foam-born". She patronized everyone who had this wonderful feeling in her heart, as well as to composers and artists who composed their immortal works on the theme of love. Aphrodite carried love and beauty to the world, but she never showed respect for marriage, so the Greek goddess of love often clashed with the hero, the guardian of conjugal fidelity. On Olympus she had a husband - the god of forge craft and fire Hephaestus. He was not very handsome, and so frivolous Aphrodite sometimes cheated on him, resulting in the birth of Harmony and Eros.
Egyptian goddess of love
The ancient builders of the pyramids had their ownrepresentation of the ideal embodiment of femininity. The Egyptians revered a gentle, sensual and ardent Hathor. She was crazy about music and dancing, for this reason sistre became her symbol - an ancient musical instrument, something resembling a rattle. The Egyptians even had a special amulet with his image, which they put on their necks to protect against evil forces and to protect the goddess in heart matters. Hathor took care of the young couples and did everything to ensure that their married life was happy.
The goddess of love among the ancient Slavs
Our distant ancestors are the patroness of marriage andhearth was Lada. Everyone loved her, especially women. The goddess of love used special honor with the newlyweds. She was often brought flowers, honey, live birds and berries, and in the sacred groves of Lada they left scarves, embroideries and rings in the trees. In her honor often arranged festivals. Lada was very attentive to the requests of people and for this she deserved another name - Generous. In the old days, from January 6 to 19 (now at this time Baptism is celebrated), celebrations were organized in her honor and songs were sung generously, which praised peace, harmony and love for people. Holes made their way through the lakes and rivers, and grain, fritters and pies were thrown at them, and colored patches were laid out on the ice for decoration. In the pictures, Lada often took on the image of a beautiful young blond woman holding in her arms the winged god Lelia. The temple in her honor could be found in almost every ancient Russian city. This goddess of love had its own special sign - a circle with a triangle inscribed inside it, directed by a sharp angle down. These figures were chosen for a reason and have 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. It was believed that the Lada stone was carnelian, and therefore it was often included in various decorations.
Happiness in your home
Each of the goddesses of love is charming in its own way.If you believe in feng shui, put an image of one of them in the area of assistants (the north-western sector of the house). You ask why not in the sector of love? Yes, because there must be paired items and a lonely symbol here can cause the opposite effect. But the assistant zone is the most ideal place. In the role of a symbol, you can use a statuette, embroidery, picture or just her sign. After that, you will notice the help of the goddess: the aura in the house will be better, and in life there will be more mutual and divided love.
