"The mediator between head and hands must be the heart." - Metropolis (1927)

The basics of authentic love and the definitions:

Agape Love:

Agape love is the love for all knowledge and all nature. It is the love of truth. It is what the entire universe uses to create with. If mind is the most powerful tool we can use in our physical bodies then agape love is the most powerful thing we can create and express from it.

Love, even for those who would violate the rights Spirit gives us, will always be the ultimate force against evil. Using love will always connect us to Spirit and this will allow us to develop into the sovereign beings we are meant to be. Even in times of frustration and anger I can still use agape love to control my emotion.

I know we live in Hell-World so most are not yet ready to fully understand this. They will use hate as the a weapon to fight their enemies instead of the power of love.

Such as when our founding fathers fought in the Revolutionary War. They fought not because they hated their enemies but because they loved the sovereignty of Spirit and their physical expressions Spirit is connecting with. They fought because they loved the Law, truth and freedom.

Eros Love:

Eros love is the intimate connection one will have with a lover. When two people connect on a heart to heart/soul to soul level and can feel the vibration between each other. You know it is real when you can feel the connection. Your heart neurons will even respond to this. When you have this true connection your heart will manifest a physical reaction. This is what happens when I even just think about my husband who is not just my spouse but my best friend. If there is such a thing as soul mates he is mine and I can feel it.

Philos Love:

Philos love is the love we have for our family and friends. The love we have for our children we birth is the strongest connection we can have in the physical as these beings came from us. The connection may be somewhat stronger for mother to child but this is only because the physical body of the child developed inside the womb of the woman.

Fathers have the same connection only this comes from the emotional connection they have with the mother and the energy that comes from the new life form being developed. We can also have this connection with the friends we develop throughout our lives. People who create such a strong impression on us that it effects our highest selves.

History:

Artwork by Diddles25 (www.deviantart.com/diddles25/gallery)

The Irish and Scottish goddess Brighid means "the Exalted One". She is originally a sun goddess and a fire goddess. She has three facets; The Fire of the Forge (as a goddess of craftsmen), The Fire of the Muse (as a goddess of poets) and The Fire of Hearth (as a goddess of home and healing). She is looked upon when in need of protection and health during times of childbirth or unstable home life and is associated with wells and springs.

The legends and rituals attributed to the goddess were later incorporated in the sainthood by early Christians. February 1st (St. Brigid's Day) is the Imbolc festival. This is a holiday associated with agrarianism and the beginning of springtime. Early Christians may have attributed this symbology to the cross over the sun (See: The Wheel of Fortune Card information below). The cross in made of straw typically and hung from the rafters of a home for protection.

The earliest story we have on Valentine's Day is the pagan holiday Lupercalia. This occurred for centuries in the middle of February to celebrate fertility. Men would strip naked and sacrifice a goat or dog. Young boys would then take strips of hide from the sacrificed animals and use it to whip young woman in order to promote fertility.

Lupercalia also known as Lupercal was a pastoral festival of Ancient Rome observed annually from February 13 through 15 to purify the city, promoting health and fertility. Lupercalia was also known as  Februatus, after the purification instruments called februa, the basis for the month named Februarius. Unlike Valentine's Day, however, Lupercalia was a bloody, violent and sexually charged celebration awash with animal sacrifice, random matchmaking and coupling in the hopes of warding off evil spirits and infertility. Pope Gelasius I outlawed the festival during his pontificate between 492 and 496. Traditionally, many believe that other Christian holidays in February, like Candlemas or Valentine's Day, replaced Lupercalia.
