💗Lovely offerings to Aphrodite💗

Roses: all roses are sacred to Her.

Dark chocolates: known to be an aphrodisiac

Vanilla: organic is best

Sweet fruits: especially apples

Seashells: of all kinds

Sand: collected from the beach if possible

Seawater: if you don’t live near the ocean, make your own saltwater for Her

Olive oil: olive oil is liked by many deities

Golden honey: honey is another liked gift by many gods

Sweet perfumes: offer Her the whole bottle or wear some as a devotional act

Poems and hymns: make them about Her or about someone you love

💗Sweet devotional acts💗

Practice self-care and self-love

Feeding birds, bees, and fish and taking care of nature

Dancing

Enjoying the beauty of the world

Masturbate in Her name if you feel comfortable doing so

Music, either your own or a playlist that reminds you of Her

Remember to tell the ones you are close to your love

Do a little extra for yourself - a spa day, new clothes, go a little extra on your makeup even if it is just a normal day for you, etc.

💗Cute altar ideas💗

An altar to Aphrodite should be as beautiful as you can make it. Decorate it with ocean motifs, roses (real or fake), flower garlands, nods to Her sacred animals (doves, swans, dolphins,) art of Her or erotica, rose quartz, pearls, and bright colors that capture feelings of love and the sea. An altar beside a window, on a windowsill, a vanity stand, or somewhere with a mirror. If you need to keep it secret or wish to keep a travel altar, try to keep her altar in a pretty box adorned with floral or sea decorations or something like a makeup pouch.

Having an outdoor garden altar is also a perfect option for Her - make it bird and bee friendly, use organic products (ones without pesticides) on your plants, have bird-feeders around, and have a little place where you can safely light a candle or incense for Her along with an offering bowl and a place for you to sit and enjoy the beauty she brings to you.

I apologize for being MIA for a bit, I haven’t had too many spoons as of lately which has affected my craft.

A quick little update of my past couple of weeks has been accepting Lord Apollo into my craft alongside his sister, Lady Artemis. Its been interesting to say the least but I always notice him or what he wants me to pay attention to as I get warm very suddenly. He’s not as subtle as his sister which I love. I’ve also bought a bunch of soy wax to start making my own candles which I cant wait to make my deity candles!

— Just a thing from my grimoire

My ancestors have yet to come towards me through my prayers and meditation but my spirit guides are here in full force and are constantly reminding me (444 & 555). Im going to start implementing more daily connections with my spirit guide such as Good Mornings/Nights and offerings of my food. They’ve been there for me when I feel alone or unprotected and show that they are there for me. It’s crazy to see the difference after opening my communication with them.

Me *laying with a crystal on my chest*: self-care
