Aetherial, Illustrious, Laughing Queen, Born of the Sea
and Lover of the Night,
Mother of Longing, All-Connecting, who joins the world in
harmony,
All things spring from You, Oh Divine Power.
The Triple Fates are ruled by Your decree,
All the works of craft and love yield to Your hand,
With a smile, Oh Aphrodite, you sway the all-encircling heavens,
the fruitful
Earth and the Storming Oceans.
All obey You, all are awed by You.
Companion of the Brumal God,
Beautiful Goddess of Marriage, Mother of Love, Lover of the
Banquet,
Source of Persuasion who grants secret favors, Illustrious born,
seen
and unseen,
Gentle Lover, Lupercal, who smiles upon mortals,
Prolific, Most-Desired, Life-Giver, Kind Goddess wielder of the
scepter
of all the Immortals, You bind mortals and every tribe of beasts
in magic
chains of mad desire.
Come, Lovely Cyprian, and bless these rites, Whether radiant in
the heavens,Or
presiding in the temples of Syria,
Guiding Your golden chariot over the sacred floods of Egypt,
Or dancing on the azure shores by billowing seas, with circling
choirs
of mortals, and beauteous Nymphs with cerulean eyes,
Or riding out along the dusty banks renowned of old,
Or if in Cyprus with Your fair Mother, where married women
yearly come
to praise You, and the pure virgins sing hymns to You and to
Adonis,
Come, Divine Union, for You I call with holy, reverent mind.
