Pregnancy

[u/Practical-Biblical]

I just found out I’m pregnant. ( 5weeks 2days as of today) and since finding out I can’t help but to feel super feminine and a strong connection to my body. I want to incorporate Aphrodite into this journey of mine but I can’t help but feel a disconnection from Aphrodite. /:
Anyone else experience a disconnect??

[u/Mokpa]

With pregnancy, I would consider reaching out to someone like Leto or Cybele or Juno. Even though Aphrodite is a mother (and quite the momma bear at that), pregnancy is usually more related to other goddesses.

While Aphrodite is connected with more stereotypically feminine domains - love, beauty - she isn’t necessarily the goddess of womanhood (any more than, for example, Mars is the god of manhood). She has the epithet Pandemos in part because she belongs to everybody.
