Erato is the muse of love and erotic poetry. She is also known as the muse of lyrics and songs of marriage. Her title is “the amorous one.” It is from the tales of Erato that we get the saying about carrying a torch for someone, as she has been seen with a torch while with the god Eros.

Call upon Erato when you are seeking or wish to be inspired by love or erotocism.

Think about a sensual description using all of your senses… what you see, what you hear, what you can feel, what you can taste, and what you can smell regarding the one that you most desire. Allow yourself to be free and think of the passion they inspire within you. Allow Erato to help you as you put into words these feelings that can start with something as simple as a kiss and then end with an imagination that has no limits. To live fully and sensually is a true and rare gift.
