Hedone, the divine daughter of Eros and Psyche

Today I want to tell you a tantric mystic divine story...
Beloved, look around you and choose the one object that most calls your attention.
A beautiful creation, is it not?
That, my beloved, is a creation of Eros — which in Tantra, we know as Life Force — the creative energy behind all of existence.
Behind every breath, every heartbeat, every blossom… Eros lives.
Eros is also a god in Greek mythology.
The god of love, desire, and erotic longing.
He was known to strike desire into the hearts of gods and mortals alike.
Some of us know him as Cupid, the invisible hand behind many love stories.
But in this story, I want you to see him as the most beautiful being there is:
Love and beauty in masculine form. Erotic divinity.
After all, he is the son of the Goddess of Love herself — Aphrodite.
The myths often tell us that even the gods, divine as they are, sometimes descend to Earth for a little mischief… and sometimes, they fall in love.
And so it was, when Eros fell in love with a mortal woman of deep beauty and inner strength — a cosmic love story began.
Let me introduce you to Psyche — the mortal who dared to love a god and awakened through the trials of the soul.
Her love stirred Aphrodite’s jealousy — one of the goddess’s oldest shadows.
Aphrodite refused to allow Eros and Psyche to be together, and cast Psyche into impossible trials — just to prove that when love comes from within, all is possible.
Psyche had to face the impossible.
Meet her shadow.
Descend into the underworld.
And trust love… even when she couldn’t see the face of her beloved.
Have you heard that love is blind?
In her final trial, she fell gravely ill. Her life hung by a thread. And in that moment, Psyche surrendered completely into the arms of her beloved.
She let go. She allowed herself to be witnessed, held, and loved by Eros — just as she was.
And in that surrender, Eros saw her as divine.
He vowed to protect her. To love her.
And that, with a little touch of Zeus’s divine grace… made Psyche become a goddess.
Eros & Psyche found divine union — like Shiva and Shakti, Yin and Yang.
And from this sacred alchemy — between soul (psyche) and eros (life force) — a new goddess was born:
Hedone.
...not just any goddess
A goddess whose very essence is the fruit of spiritualized love and awakened eros.
A cosmic, erotic orgasm of union — Olympian and eternal.
It is my ultimate pleasure to introduce you to Hedone.
Her name means Pleasure — and not the fleeting kind.
She is the goddess of:
The pleasure that nourishes your soul and awakens your body
The magic that lets you be fully human and divinely alive
She is what we are all longing for.
Not just love.
Not just soul growth.
But pleasure as the bridge between them both.
We live in a world that worships effort, productivity, and performance.
Where pleasure is often seen as indulgent, shameful, or superficial.
But Edone whispers from the edges:
“Let it feel good.”
“You came to Earth to taste, to touch, to tremble with aliveness.”
“Embody through your senses. Live through your soul.”
She is the goddess who awakens within us:
our erotic innocence,
our right to rest and receive,
the orgasmic truth that joy can be spiritual.
Edone invites us not only to heal, but to blossom.
To awaken through delight.
To remember that pleasure is not a reward — it is a remembrance.
If Eros and Love matter to you, let their fruit take root within you.
Let Edone show you what’s possible when the soul and desire walk hand in hand.
Are you ready to welcome, embody, and embrace Hedone?
I am a devotee of Hedone.
I promise to find her in all I do, in all I create.
I worship her by letting her be the river through which my spirit flows.
She visits me every day — sometimes for just a second, sometimes for a spacious minute.
But when she does, she inhabits my power centers — offering wisdom from within.
Beloved, allowing my life to be guided by Hedone means trusting that the path of my soul — walked in love and consciousness — will always be fruitful.
Is this your desire too?
💋 An Invitation
There are so many ways to call her in:
Touch your body with devotion.
Enjoy the simple bite of an apple.
Feel the refreshment of water.
Listen to the whispers of the wind.
Stop whatever you are doing — and just be. Here & now.
Observe the divinity that surrounds you. The divinity that is in you.
And if you want to go deeper…
