Reflect on how you can guard and protect the sanctity of the intimacy created through surrender.

At the altar, commune with Venus Cloacina (Venus the Purifier), Venus Victrix (Venus the Victorious), and Venus Armata (Armed Venus) and know that mutual surrender is the only path to trust and devotion, the way to victory in love.
