a digital offering/e offering to Lady Aphrodite on Aphrodite day!

L'Orage / The Storm (1880) by Pierre Auguste Cot

Rainy day in Kyoto

Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.

— Oscar Wilde

“Golden Aphrodite,

Foam-Born, Laghter Loving,

Grant thy protection;

And in protection, strength;

And in strength, understanding;

And in understanding, knowledge;

And in knowledge, the knowledge of justice;

And in the knowledge of justice, the love of justice;

And in the love of justice, the love of all existences;

And in that love, the love of the Gods, and all goodness.”

- This is a slightly altered version of the well known Druid’s prayer that I use in my devotional practice to Lady Aphrodite
