The first goddess of love that ever existed in Theocra was Delphinara. She was named after the dolphins that swam around the waters of the city in the sphere of glass, and in Theocra she was a matchmaker for the other gods. After the fall of Theocra, she appeared to humanity in various forms since romance and other emotional bonds were heavily altered according to time periods and social practices of the places where people lived.

The Rose Bunny is the Lavenderist manifestation of the love goddess and the name is meaningful in more ways than most initially think. Roses are associated with feminine things and luxuries like flowers, perfumes, and candles. Bunnies are associated with copulation and romance as well, because of their sexual habits. The name “Rose Bunny” is also similar to the BDSM term “Rope Bunny” which is not necessarily accurate for the goddess, but hints at a more lustful side to the energy of the Rose Bunny which is present and her energy does manifest in that way for the magician that seeks it out. If you have ever been into a kind of store that you normally cannot talk about and sensed a kind of feminine love energy coming from leather equipment, that is also Rose Bunny energy.

It is possible to work with Delphinara directly and not through her cultural manifestation of The Rose Bunny, but that can be a bit harder to connect with for those who are not familiar with it. Delphinara is a love goddess of the astral spiritual world where people do not have physical bodies, so it can be a bit alienating to those who are not familiar with the astral planes or have no memories of being there. The Rose Bunny is almost like a mask or an aspect of the higher love goddess channeled into this reality so that as living people we can make sense of it and have her energy be closer to humanity.
