The Artisan Who Makes Life Worth Living
Venus is the master artisan, the one who turns raw materials into beauty. Without Venus, life has survival but no joy. She is the reason you stop to admire a sunset, the reason music makes you cry. When afflicted, the artisan becomes an addict, chasing sensation, never satisfied.
