The Golden Rose Journal, an annual publication of the Temple of Aphrodite

Welcome to Temple of Aphrodite Asteria!

Kharis, Sophia, Eusebia

The Temple of Aphrodite encourages the development of grace, wisdom and piety to Aphrodite through its many programs and projects. To better understand how we do this, please read our Statement of Purpose.

Though Aphrodite is an Olympian from the Hellenic pantheon, and this temple is based on Hellenic practice, we do not require that our members practice Hellenic polytheism. What devotees of Aphrodite share is a love of Love, a joy in Joy, and the appreciation of Beauty that Aphrodite brings into the world.

Nor do we demand aught in fees for worshipping here, though donations to the Temple of Aphrodite would naturally further the work we are able to do.

Here, you may learn more about (and even join with) the men and women of the Temple, the Red Doves who do Aphrodite's work in the contemporary world.
