Goddess Calypso, Scents & Love

The Greek Goddess Calypso was described in Homer's Odyssey 2,800 years ago. Calypso, who lived on Ogygia, an island near Malta, was unmarried, independent, and history's first documented feminist.

There she rescued the hero Odysseus from death as he drifted astride the keel of the his ship that Zeus had shattered with lightning. For seven years she kept Odysseus on her island, passionately loving him and offering to make him a god.

However, when Zeus finally ordered her to release Odysseus, she replied "Cruel folk you are, unmatched for jealousy, you gods who cannot bear to let a goddess sleep with a man, even if it is done without concealment and she has chosen him as her lawful consort."

She further stated that the gods often slept with mortal women and no objection was ever raised to this behavior. Calypso then helped Odysseus build a boat and stocked it herself with bread, water, and wine, and sent a following wind so that he would reach his home in Ithaca without difficulties. She told Odysseus that she had a righteous mind and a heart that, not being of iron, had compassion.

Many scholars say Calypso represents the pure, remote feminine, untouched and inaccessible, separate, distinguished and different from the world of men, (or the view of the world by men).

Do Pheromones Actually Work?

No one can deny the fact that scents deeply influence human emotion. Light moisturizing oils are one of the best protections against dry skin and for promoting skin health in general.

Social pheromone oils are essential oils from plant extracts that have been used for thousands of years for mood enhancement during weddings, family gatherings, religious services to increases happiness and bonding. Scientific studies demonstrate they have relaxing and anti-conflict actions.

Pheromone oils are mood enhancers: Human emotions are most directly influenced by smells through the limbic system.

Your scent or pheromone signature determines, to a very great extent, how people will respond to you.

The best pheromone products consist of essential oils.

Ancient Wisdom to Attract and Entice People

For thousands of years, pheromone oils were rubbed on the torso or the legs, never on the wrists or earlobes. When you wear clothes, your body heats the air around your body.

This causes the air to rise toward your highest opening in your clothes. As the heated air rises, it picks up the pheromones secreted from your skin, and as this air emerges around your face, it causes people to look at you and notice your face.

It takes about one second for your smells to reach someone 50 feet away on still air. However, human pheromone levels peak at around age 18, then slowly decline through our life. This is why we are always aware of teen-agers in a room.

By age 40, your pheromone signals no longer excite others when you enter a room as they did when you were 18.

We all tend to think that the physical beauty of young people is the source of their attractiveness; however, smells activate the emotions. Thus, the declining interest of others as we age may be more due to pheromone declines than physical changes in our bodies.

So, to make people look at you and respond to you (and not the teen-agers), you should enhance your natural pheromones signals with supplemental pheromone signals - just as supplements of anti-oxidants keep you healthy and ward off disease. This works well as one of the great secrets to attract men, or as a useful tip to attract women: Use scents as mood enhancers!
