I was urged to write this article to give some answers to a question I have been asked many times. I am aware that there is a similar article being shared regarding the manifestations of our beloved Goddess Aphrodite on Earth in the form of avatars, and this question has been asked to me regarding this article, also.
The question I am referring to which I am asked by many women usually runs along the same lines to the energy of, “I was meditating and the Goddess Aphrodite (or one of her other previous/later incarnations such as Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, Venus, Mary Magdalene etc) told me that I am an incarnation of her on Earth. Is this possible?”
Now to answer this question I must first explain who the Goddess Aphrodite/Inanna/Ishtar etc is. She is the Shekinah/Holy Spirit/Sophia/Divine feminine manifested from an essence/spirit/energy into matter. She is the representation of the divine feminine in form and the first Goddess ever mentioned and written about was the Goddess Inanna who is an Anunnaki Goddess and was presented to the world by the Ubaidians and then the Sumerians. As you can imagine, she had her priestesses and high priestesses. She manifested in time or was called in different countries by different names. In Babylon she was Ishtar; to the Phoenicians she was Astarte. To the Egyptians she was Hathor but then they split the attributes of Hathor and created two Goddesses who are Hathor and Isis or at one time they also combined them as Isis-Hathor. The Greeks did the same thing; they split Inanna into Aphrodite (her love archetype) and Athena (her war and wisdom archetype.) She became known as Venus to the Romans for she IS Venus. One of her incarnations was as Mary Magdalene, the wife of Jesus.
ALL of these manifestations in history had their own cults and each priestess played the role of the Goddess of Venus. There was even an order of Mary Magdalene where the priestesses of her order were known as Magdalene’s. Each priestess took on her role. For example during the fertility rites, the high priestess was usually the one who invoked the Goddess and performed the hieros gamos with the King, and he in turn became the god who was the patron of his city.
So my message and my answer is, those of you who are told that you are Inanna or Aphrodite or Ishtar etc by the Goddess (many have come to me with these revelations), you are being told that you are her daughters, her priestesses. You are being told that you carry her essence within you, for you have invoked her many times during rituals in your past lives. All of her priestesses in history had to live as though they were her and this is why the Goddess is coming to you and telling you that you are she, because you represent all that she is on Earth. She is calling you back to your duties. There can be only one representation/manifestation of the Goddess of the Venus energies on Earth at one time. The god, on the other hand, can manifest himself here as the different archetypes of the sacred masculine and the ‘why’s’ I will go into at another time.
Many women come to me especially to ask me this because they know of my connection with the Goddess Inanna. Not speaking with arrogance of through ego, but when I began to reveal my channelings through Esophoria and my videos, not many people was interested in Inanna. Hardly any of the channelers and ‘light workers’ wanted anything to do with her because they felt, as they said to me, she was a dark energy because of her war archetype. Now, since this one year of presenting her to the world through my work, many are beginning to become interested in her and try to channel her or meet her in meditations. My point is, one of my missions was to make people more aware of her and I have achieved this; this was my/her goal.
The desire to be Inanna-like is something to be proud of; she is the ultimate role model for women. But I also must add a warning here. If you feel you want to become a priestess of the Goddess, please know that she is not only a Goddess for love and romance; she is also a dark Goddess as she traveled to the underworld and conquered death. She is a war Goddess and chose her battles wisely. To follow her, you have to embrace all that she stands for and she has her reasons why she is that she is. If you reject her war side, then you are rejecting all of her. You must ask yourself the question: can you move away from romancing with her love side and accept ALL of what she stands for? Can you embrace the darkness (chaos/rebirth/warrior archetype) that she also possesses? For you see, she is the ultimate balance for she is duality of both light and dark. To follow her is no easy task. To follow her you will be forced to face your own darkness and your own shadow self and learn to understand it. Many light workers seem to believe that they can only focus on her romance/love side and try to make her something she is not. I am sorry, but she does not like this for you are offending her by denying what she is and what she manifested into matter for. It is not for anyone to decide, because of their fantasies about her, that they can create her to be what they want. These illusions only add the illusion to the human consciousness, that there exists only light in this world when we need dark for balance.
Maybe I sound a little harsh but I want you to really understand what and who she is. I am trying to guide you because I love you and I want you to know that being her priestess is not for the faint hearted or those wishing to day dream about her reality.
So, my beloveds, I want to say that those of you who have heard her call, come back to her duties but think very carefully whether you are going to be dedicated and committed to her and carrying out her work and your mission as her daughter. Are you willing to work? Or will you be one of those who just like to broadcast that you are the incarnation of Inanna or Aphrodite and do not contribute to the ascension and spiritual evolution of humanity?
As always, I love you,
Helen Demetriou

I'm with Ishtar.
This is why the best we can do is focus exclusively on our own conscious evolution.
become the best possible living, breathing example of that which we represent.
and the way we do this, in my experience at least, is to consistently expose your own inner darkness,
seek to understand it,
And enlighten it,
So that what was once the enemy in your dark becomes your ally in the light.
when you do this enough times, you just being exposes the dark of those that you come into contact with.
and thus give them the opportunity to come to their own understandings about what their darkness truly represents.
And if they have the requisite resolve within themselves, enlighten it.
and as for the crazy life on earth...
And once again, in my experience at least, the greatest example of who we is via our reconnection with the I AM presence.
the piece of God that we are.
thanks for your concern Branwen.
tell you what,
I'll compromise with you and Be Aware of all that comes and goes within the realms of my conscious awareness.
Both light and dark.
because it is my light.
And my dark.
And therefore my responsibility.
I have been personally associated with this channel for some time now.
And the words she brings forward have only ever worked to my benefit.
the Divine Feminine is by her very nature, compassionate.
And wise.
Even when she operates from the realms of the dark.
It is the job of the Divine Masculine to surrender his power to the service of Her wisdom.
And thus facilitate the completion of the Divine Plan.
Which is the return to the light for all humanity.
Divine Goddess,
I embrace all that you are.
I AM in service.
I AM that I AM.
