Aphrodite's Sacred Milk & Flower Bath Recipe

1 liter (quart) milk

10 drops orange essential oil

6 drops ylang ylang essential oil

2 drops jasmine essential oil

4 drops neroli essential oil

4 drops sandalwood essential oil

While bath is filling, heat the milk in a saucepan (taking care not to boil it) and mix the essential oils into the warm milk.

To use: Pour the milk and oil mixture into the bath just before entering and relax for at least 20 minutes, adding hot water as needed to keep the temperature comfortable. Light a few candles and add a fresh vase of flowers to attune with Aphrodite's energy.

Aphrodite is the Goddess of love and beauty. According to myth, she sprang up from the sea, fully formed, upon a giant seashell. Aphrodite was free to choose her lover and gave birth to Eros, God of love. The Aphrodite archetype governs a woman's enjoyment of love, beauty, sexuality, and sensuality. Creative work is also fueled by the intense passions of Aphrodite.
