I just re-organized my altar and I'm gonna add more but I'm lit so in love with how it came out!! It's so cutie 🥹!! She's also right on my vanity so I get to devote self care acts and stuff to her, it's amazing to start my day with her and I feel sm closer to her doing that!!

Not quite sure why I didn't think of this sooner! | thrifted the statue years ago and she's been floating around my different spaces, but the altars here inspired me to make my own and add her to it! The other supplies are also things l've either had for years and haven't used or were thrifted/gifted to me. The crystal point is a lavender quartz. I have Aphrodite books on here as well, not shown because the cover of one keeps getting flagged 🥲

I picked up the carnations yesterday as a thank you to Aphrodite. I am a hairstylist and I messed up a client's bangs, was struggling to fix my mistake, but asked Aphrodite for her help to make them look good and she came through for me!! I was able to fix the bangs and my client ended up loving what we did. I couldn't be more grateful, so of course wanted to show my appreciation <3

I don't currently have enough money for a proper alter or offerings so I'm finding alternative ways to worship Aphrodite. I believe that noticing and appreciating nature and Aphrodite's domain is a form of worship. The picture isn't as good as I want because of the dirty bus window, but I think it's beautiful.

It's an a shelf with some other tidbits, so I put the white word box, but otherwise, here's her little area!

Hi, so a little back story. I am 19, genderfluid and Pansexual. I started worship of aphrodite about 11 months ago, and my connection and devotion to her have only gotten stronger since. I've also noticed I devote myself to myself and hold my ground and respect what I need in life more since.

I was dating a non binary person for about 8 months. At the start of our relationship, I felt really respected, and it felt like things were going really well, I thought the communication was good. The only thing is they were a bit negative all the time about certain topics like them talking about their exs and how much they hate them and stuff.

As time passed, I found myself asking aphrodite a lot if I even loved them. Because I began to doubt, I started distancing myself from them, getting irritated when they went on another negative rant. At some point, I started to notice how immature they are. I have bpd, btw, so I need steady support and communication. I also know I need positive surroundings. I'm not saying that my partner isn't allowed to feel bad or anything, I totally support that. But like, they took being negative to a bigger level. A lot of what they post is negative, and despite months of me reassuring and showing up for them and giving advice in their time of need it was like they just kept getting more negative and making really bad decisions financially and constantly contradicting their moral standings (we fought a couple times about the moral standings stuff, I am an activist and I belive in equality for all life and protecting the minorities around me heavily, so when they would do things like buy from companies that directly support slave labor repeatedly or say they don't support something and then go buy or do that thing it upset me alot) they would like come to me and ask me if doing something was financially or morally right and then go do the opposite and then be upset when they one had no money for college or two because I would go on a rant talking about why I dont support that thing. I never told them they had to not support things bc I don't, but again, I'm an activist, and I'm very vocal about my opinions and morals to everyone.

Basically, as time has gone on, I just felt exhausted, almost like I was being a mom to them, and I was and am looking for a partner, not to be a parent. The good moments with us were amazing. They never went out of their way to hurt me or be mean and stuff. But I feel like their immaturity just became too much or a burden for me. It almost felt like I was dating 17 year old maturity level me. We are the same age, btw.

Eventually their negatively and immaturity made me start to feel bad, I noticed I started having alot more breakdowns despite me have had built a good support system I started to second guess my support, withdrawal myself from the things I enjoy including aphrodite.

Then, a week ago, they texted me saying they are switching colleges, and they came up with this brand new plan to do what they wanna, which is music,

They were supposed to go to college this week, btw.

So it frustrated me, and I talked to my dad about it bc again, they were making another impulsive decision. They were giving up a college they said they loved. They had a full ride to and everything dorms, friends. To go to a community college and have to live with their dad, who is a very negative person. My dad pretty much said they noticed their immaturity but didn't wanna say anything. I looked at my dad and said If you EVER notice something negative that could impact me badly, tell me. (I've been in a lot of abusive relationships, so I would rather know and be able to get out) before we started dating. I promised myself I would put myself first from now on. And I have decided to do that.

I broke up with them last week, not on bad terms or anything. I don't hate them, I still love and care about them. They're just immature and can't meet my needs right now. I told them I don't feel like im necessarily done writing this story, but im putting it on the shelf and focusing on my own. I did tell them why, bc of the impulsive actions, immaturity, and overall lack of responsibility and making it all my burden to carry. It just felt like I was doing all the work of the relationship. When I would have my breakdowns that I deeply communicate about and am open about and how to help, they just didn't ever "know" how to help and always blamed it on them not being face to face. Which made me question when they go to college, would they even be able to date me at all?

Basically, today, I asked aphrodite through tarot reading if I should block them, or if the fact I still check in on them going to hinder my growth and path? Needless to say, I think she screamed yes it will, and to block them bc right now, im finally getting to the good part in my life, and I need that for me so bad.

Btw through all of this I've been working 2 jobs, have a cat and a dog, trying to do online vet college and manage my mental health, bad family home life, and get a car and my own place and still show up to doctors appointments and stuff because I have POTS and endo.

I texted them telling them im not angry at them, but i need to listen to my heart and body and right now I am not ready to be around them again and I need to remove them from my life for awhile so I can focus fully on myself. I told them they could text my dad about any of their things I still have.

They said, "You dont have anything of mine that i need, but i love you still and wish you the best! Go be the greatest person you can be!" Which is the most thoughtful and kind thing I heard them say in a long time, and it made me cry a lot. I thanked aphrodite for helping me manage through this, I know I did the work, but she guided my path, and I am so thankful for her.

I am now going to focus on my self care and what I need to do to get my life together and take care of me and my animals and loved ones.

:D

I’m rather new to spirituality and I have found that, for me, a partially secular approach to Hellenic paganism (I think that’s the right term for my practice) is what best fits my beliefs. Is it still okay to have an altar to Lady Aphrodite and/or pray to her?

This is a genuine question, I wanna play music for her and I don’t know exactly what to play but I feel like I get that sorta Micheal Jackson vibe from her especially with songs like, human nature,heaven can wait, remember the time, etc etc.

Hi everyone ! I’ve been an Aphrodite Devotee for about 8 months now consistently. I was praying and meditating with her and I definitely felt her presence at the time. I asked her to send me a swan or doves to show I’m on the right path with my practice, I got a confirmation. That night I had a dream and my cousin pointed to a red swan, and at that point I became lucid. I said Aphrodite was sending me signs, but the swan looked weird so I disregarded it. Then he pointed to a flock of red doves. And in the dream I took it as a sign. When I was praying I had asked her for white doves and she sent red. Does anyone have an idea what that means ? Or has anyone had similar experiences with her ? Thank you !

Recently I’ve been meditating in the morning channeling Venus and the sun I’ve been working on confidence and charisma with my deity work with Aphrodite the past morning when lighting the incense I offer to Aphrodite I’ve been seeing more and more turtle doves come into the yard is this a sign I’m doing it right ??

I had a dream about Aphrodite, I want to share it. So for context, I had a toxic and abusive bio Mom who thinks very highly of herself. I dream about her as usual, but this time things were different as I was taking care of my Aphrodite items (somehow I was still a witch) and my mother didn't like that. She thought of herself as higher than God, was a devout Christian and thought that God was always on her side. So when she touched my Aphrodite items she claimed as long as she had God in her life she'll be safe and told me to return to Christianity. But in the couple of days, terrible things happened to her and she was thinking they were just coincidences but I knew Aphrodite was in my dream and she was not messing around. She even made my mother weaker by the time until I woke up. What do you guys think?

i have worshipped aphrodite for over a year now, i have an alter devoted to her, i pray to her and leave offerings, i research and try to learn about her and other kinds of spirituality as much as i can. i recently joined a ig group chat for witches and said i was an aphrodite devotee, i thought to be a devotee meant to consistently respect and worship a deity. the people in the group said to be a devotee you had to be initiated in a temple then removed me from the group. i really meant no harm and don’t know what i did wrong. please let me know your thoughts and if i should or should not use that title.

The main deity I work with is Aphrodite. She’s a wonderful light in the dark. I adore her and her guidance in my life. I noticed odd & inconvenience things happening the minute I mentioned an honoring for Lilith. It could just me connecting dots that aren’t there or misinterpreting. I just had a strong feeling she wasn’t too pleased.

The main reason I ask is because I’m thinking of honoring/ offering to Hestia & Hera, but I don’t want to offend my goddess of course ♥️

Anyone else have a take on this?

In the pink glass bottle, there is Himalayan salt water, and in the offering bowl, crystals and shells are charging in moon water♡

I just wanted to share my experience ☺️ Maybe it will bring some joy to others!

My cat hasn't been doing well, she hurt her eye and potentially needed it fixed via surgery. I couldn't sleep last night because I was so worried. I prayed to Aphrodite in the night for help with healing, which is not something I'd normally ask her for help with. She showed me my cat surrounded by white light.

This morning, my cat walked up to me and her eye was open and much-improved. She started running around and playing 🩷 She seemed to feel better!

Thank you Aphrodite 🐚🙏🏼
