The Seed is a collection of poetry intended to express the Philosophy of Cyprianism, a modern movement among artists who embrace the Erotic Force and I ts necessity in the creative process, and who endeavor to resonate with It. It is a Beautiful Science whose lessons are imparted through symbols, allegories, art, and ritual.
And It reveals itself through time. It is the modern version of an ancient mystery Practice, Paphianism, that dates back to a guild of artists and sacred courtesans in Periclean-Age Athens called the
Knights and Sisters of Paphos - a secretive society, a cult of Aphrodite - who were dedicated to the
service, creation and defense of Beauty.
