Venus

Whenever I read anything about the ancient temples, the gods of love and fertility and the women (and some men) who served at these temples to help people connect with the divine through sexual acts, I can't help but imagine what that would look like, feel like, be like...

Amazing temple spaces with the most beautiful and dedicated, the sexual rites, the potions to enhance the experiences, the rituals of music and dance that would lead to eventual ecstasy worthy of the gods. Supernatural sunsets, divine goddesses, and sexual spirituality in warm air, by the ocean and cultures that tied the divine with the animalistic.

What would that have been to visit, to experience, for anyone involved?
