Praise for Awakening to Aphrodite’s Light

Awakening to Aphrodite’s Light is a lovely reminder to connect to ourselves, to our bodies, to trust our instincts, and to enjoy the beauty of life. 
It definitely connected me with Aphrodite in unexpected ways. So happy I read it. I highly recommend it.

Very creative and well researched book about a subject I didn’t really know a lot about—the goddess Aphrodite! The author insightfully touches on the many meaningful ways we can gain more understanding and awareness in our inner and outer selves by coming to learn about Aphrodite and what she represents. Highly recommended!

A well-written and important book. 
The author writes with authority about the central problem of our time, how to awaken the divine feminine in individuals and in societies that have lost track of this essential archetypal energy. A nice balance of scholarship and readability.

Embracing the Divine Feminine Consciousness.
In her book Awakening to Aphrodite's Light, Geraldine S Brooks describes how embracing the Greek goddess' sensuous approach to life and love can fill our own lives and loves with creative energy. At the same time, embracing the divine feminine consciousness (available to women and men alike) will also bring balanced to our much-abused world. In exploring her topic, Brooks draws on myth, scripture and poetry. She also provides the reader with practical examples for bringing our senses fully alive through beautiful art, encounters with nature, high-frequency music, aromatic spics...and the best aphrodisiacs to stock your pantry with!

I was really impressed by this book. 
I wasn't sure what to expect but by the end I was so glad I had read it.
Ms. Brooks, who is a psychologist, approaches the subjects of love, beauty and the divine feminine with depth and insight and gives us a profound understanding of why these things are so important to us on a personal and a societal level.
I see our outer world getting uglier and uglier, architecture especially is ugly and aggressive. This book is a remedy to that, guiding us in ways both profound and practical to connect with love and beauty. 
A unique read which I highly recommend to both men and women.
