Abstract

Beautiful women and their role in death and destruction have been a part of folklore, whether it is Helen or Cleopatra. The Greek Goddess Aphrodite comes under the category of trouble-makers. In pre-Abrahamic Greece the Goddess was famous for Troy and during Abrahamic age she was called the White She-Devil as she symbolized sensuality. This article aims at knowing about the Goddess and her cult and how the very concept of the Goddess has undergone a sea-change, such that today there is a church named the Church of Aphrodite dedicated to her in the US. The data have been collected from the blog Priestess of Aphrodite, the article titled “The Cult of Aphrodite: The Battle Continues,” published in the website Cyprus inform, a book titled Pagan Portals - Aphrodite: Encountering the Goddess of Love and Beauty and Initiation by the Neopagan writer Irisanya Moon, and the book Temple of Love by Laurelei Black, who is a Neopagan priestess of Goddess Aphrodite.

Urgent Regarding ISSN Update

Announcement Date: April 20, 2021

Dear Authors and Researchers,
We would like to inform you that the U.S. ISSN Center at the Library of Congress has confirmed that the correct ISSN number of the Journal Psychology and Education is ISSN 1553-6939. This ISSN is to be used instead of ISSN 0033-3077 which is the ISSN that belongs to the former title, “Psychology.” Each time a journal undergoes a major change of title a new ISSN is assigned. Psychology and Education also has been assigned a Linking ISSN (ISSN-L). The ISSN-L is available for use when there is a need to identify and link to a continuing resource without regard to format, for example in services such as OpenURL, library catalogues, search engines or knowledge bases. The next issue of Psychology and Education will be published with ISSN 1553-6969. But the previous ISSN will be also available in the ISSN Portal to retrieve the record for Psychology because it remains the identifier for the former title Psychology and the articles published under that title.
