The inclusion of the deity names such as Venus and Cupid opens the door to the addition of thesingle names of other gods and goddesses throughout the world.

I confess that I googled information about Venus and found this website: http://www.crystalinks.com/venusmyth.html

Here's a sentence from that website :

"In Greek mythology, Aphrodite was the goddess of love (equivalent to the Roman Venus, Egyptian Goddess Isis, the Phoenician Astarte and the Babylonian Ishtar)".

Further along in that article are these two sentences:

"The goddess [Venus]loved to pamper herself and cultivate her beauty. Her symbol represents the hand-held vanity mirror that Venus used to admire her beauty".

Those sentences interested me because a hand held vanity mirror is also one of the symbols for Oshun {Osun}* the Yoruba {Nigeria, West Africa} goddess of love.

*pronounced oh-SHOON {at least in the USA}.

Though the name of the book escapes me, I recall reading that the Yoruba gods & goddesses and the Greek gods and goddesses had their source in the Egyptian mythologies. This hand held vanity mirror symbol is just one example of the similarities between the pantheons of three cultures.

Here's some information on Oshun:

"Oshun, the Yoruban Goddess of love, delights in the creation of beauty and art, sensual delights and self-adornment. Her symbols are mirrors, jewelry, honey, golden silks and feather fans. Creativity in decorating home and temple is a way of honoring Oshun, who will bless any beautiful space created in Her honor. There is no object so common that Oshun will not appreciate more if it is made artistic and pleasing to the eye. Creativity in dress and self-adornment please her as well, and when Oshun is pleased, her blessings know no limits".

Patroness of rivers and the bloodstream, the Nigerian goddess (also brought to Brazil and Cuba) was honoured as the goddess of love and sensuality.

She wears seven bracelets, a mirror at her belt, river water in her pot, and is accompanied by her peacock and cricket.

She is depicted as on old wise woman sad at the loss of her beauty, or, alternatively is shown as a tall, coffee-skinned woman absolutely comfortable with her sexuality."
