I wanted to let you all know that I wrote a book about my experience (thus far) as a Priestess of Aphrodite. Actually, it is less "my experience" than it is the questions I have asked myself along theway and a few suggestions that I have found helpful -- peppered with my experiences to add flavor.

I've decribed it online in the following way:

This debut offering by Laurelei Dabrielle investigates the initial questions and foundational principles inherent in becoming a working as a Priestess of Aphrodite. From candid discussions of sacred sexuality to practical tips for enhancing grace and planning Aphroditic rituals, In Her Service guides Aphrodite's devotees into the inner sanctum of the temple.

Here's what two reviewers had to say:

"This well written and researched work touches upon a couple of areas that though traditionally are aspects of religious worship & practice, for probably as long as religious beliefs have been around, are often considered as "taboo" or controversial by the modern day Pagan. Lady Laurelei handles these subjects with insight, knowledge, authority and taste. For anyone who is interested in sacred sexuality, some of the older traditions, the Divine Feminine, and Greek traditions, you would do well in adding this work to your library." Kevin Gardner (Lord Cebhion) — author of The Wiccan Minister's Manual and Handbook for Wiccan Clergy

"This is a most laudable effort, well-balanced, highly introspective but also based upon history. The approach is one of confidence but not absolutism, authoritativeness but not authoritarian, and also accessible for modern Pagans. You will find something new in the old, something recognizable in the commonality of human experience, especially loving experience, but also something to the modern mind refreshingly innovative." -- Michael Manor -- founder of the Qadishti Institute

If you're interested in the book, your can order or download a copy at  http://stores.lulu.com/laurelei_dabrielle.  One of my hopes for this work is to get the conversation started in a public way about what it means to work with Aphrodite.

In Love,
Laurelei
