Oil of the eye of Aphrodite

Only 7 bottles of Oil of the Eye of Aphrodite are available

Aphrodite-Nepherieri, the Radiant Lady of the Heavens, is a face of the Goddess encountered within the Graeco-Egyptian magical papyri, where her secret name appears in spells of love and attraction. Associated with Hathor-Aphrodite, She is a power of beauty made numinous, desire given form, and the irresistible radiance that draws one soul toward another. Nepherieri is the sweetness of affection, the charm of a pretty face, and a deeper and more intense current by which fascination takes root, longing awakens, and the heart is turned toward the object of its desire. She is the pearl formed in friction atop the frothing foam of the sea, the glimmer atop the shining waters of life, and the hidden splendor that makes a beloved unforgettable. Through Her, the mysteries of Aphrodite-Venus become more intimate and virtuous: a beauty that enchants, a presence that lingers in the mind of all that she interacts with, and a desire that reaches beyond the visible to stir the secret places of the heart.

Oil of the Eye of Aphrodite is dedicated to Aphrodite Nepherieri as an ally in works of love, attraction, enchantment, glamour, and the cultivation of irresistible personal magnetism. Beyond this, Oil of the Eye of Aphrodite acts as a devotional oil to the Mother of Loves, capable of allowing praises, prayers, and offerings to be received by this beneficent mother. The Oil may be employed to sweeten your presence, deepen the impression that you leave upon others, draw the attention of a desired beloved, or lend force to workings intended to awaken affection, fascination, and romantic longing. 

Here, Nepherieri's graces concern themselves with what happens after the hooks of beauty have caught the eyes: the lingering thought, the returning gaze, the dream of another's face, and the subtle thread of longing that binds attention to the object of your desire. This is an oil for those who would approach the mysteries of attraction, desire, and love as an art of enchantment, wherein beauty becomes a vessel for devotion and desire is given form.

Oil of the Eye of Aphrodite is complex in its creation, and is the fruit born of many layers of workings. Each individual bottle was frothed as foam into being, standing each as their own mother bottle in devotion and service to She of the Sea Foam. 

Sitting at the heart of each oil is a stone that was plucked from a river on Friday in the hour of Venus and subsequently consecrated with and alongside a stone gathered by my dear friend Sfinga of With Cunning and Command from the same beach - from beneath the very rock where it is said Aphrodite was born in Paphos, Cyprus. This stone is the closest we might get to a relic of Aphrodite, for this rock comes from the beach where the Lady of Foam was born, and as such is imbued with the numen of that location and infused with the grace and fire that is Aphrodite-Venus - a fire that is very much imparted to these other stones that it has sat alongside of and shared the wine of its communion with in ritual. 

Beyond imparting the graces of Aphrodite’s birthplace to these other consecrated stones, this sacred rock bears a more intimate virtue that it passes on. For three years, it has occupied a central place upon my own shrines to Aphrodite-Venus, serving as a vessel and focal point for innumerable prayers, workings, offerings, and adorations made in Her honor. Through this continual devotion, the stone has become steeped in the mysteries of the Goddess’s holy place, as well as in the accumulated force of the rites performed before it, becoming a repository of petitions, a witness to devotion, and a vessel bearing a tide of the living current of Aphrodite-Venus as it has been cultivated upon my own shrines.

While the Oil of the Eye of Aphrodite contains these consecrated stones as their beating heart, they also contain an amount of  With Cunning and Commands Oil of Nepherieri which is a devotional oleum dedicated to the mysteries of Aphrodite, conceived as a liquid embodiment of the blessings encountered at Her holy sanctuary in Paphos, Cyprus. The Oil is rooted in historically attested offerings to the Goddess and informed by the Venusian correspondences of Agrippa.

In addition to these two powerhouses, Oil of the Eye of Aphrodite also contains Haus’ Exalted Venus Oil alongside a vast array of Venusian materia including: Sparrow, Swallow, and Dove, Rabbit, Goat, and Sheep; powdered Bull Horn and Goat Horn, Civet, powdered White Coral, Mother of Pearl, Pearl, and powdered Honey and Eggshell; Apple Wood, Rose, Myrtle, Rosehip, Vervain, Damiana, Hibiscus, Jasmine, Linden, Fig, Lady’s Mantle, and Queen Elizabeth Root, Vanilla Bean, Cardamom, and Cinnamon. Additionally, Sumatran Benzoin, Sandalwood, Storax, Aloeswood, Frankincense, and Copper swim in the oil among a vast list of other Venusian materia. 

Each bottle of Oil of the Eye of Aphrodite is beaded on the outside, as a nod to the work with Aphrodite-Nepherieri done by my dear friends over at WCAC, with freshwater pearl, carnelian, and garnet that was consecrated alongside each bottle of the oil.

Every 1fl oz bottle of Oil of the Eye of Aphrodite will arrive with detailed instructions and suggestions for usage.
