I wanted to let you know how great I think your book is. What a fantastic and informative journey! I think it should become a reference manual and textbook on the subject in every library.
All of the layers, inspiration, angles and trajectories coming through and blossoming out of the writing could only have been woven into such a comprehensive and understandable tapestry by a true master. From another (2nd chakra) standpoint, it was a good, old-fashioned, enjoyable read.

Awakening to Aphrodite’s Light is not only a beautifully written and extensive exploration of The Goddess Aphrodite, it is also an interactive experience inviting the reader to engage in their own exploration of how this very relevant Divine Feminine energy is alive within oneself. Both men and women possess and experience Aphrodite’s powerful energy in their own unique way. Dr. Brooks guides the reader in learning how each of us can access it and use it in our daily lives. I found the book to be an excellent resource about the Goddess Aphrodite and a stimulating personal growth experience. A solid recommendation for Book Clubs.

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.
