The flower of Aphrodite is made up of six vesica piscis, almond shaped forms which represent the yoni (female genitalia). The number six represents equilibrium, harmony, and balance. Six was known to the Ancients as the sexual number as was sacred to this Goddess. The flower of Aphrodite was used as a fertility amulet because of these associations. The cobweb shape surrounding the vesica piscis represents the lure and the trap of the Goddess Aphrodite. Sometimes the Goddess weaves a web of intricate circumstances, to bring two lovers together in blissful ecstasy. Sometimes the Goddess traps us helplessly in unrequited love with all its painful lessons! But without Aphrodite's magic, we can't experience the passion and joys that the mysteries of the heart bring; some to make us human, others to experience the god and goddess within us.
