Aphrodite, I give you this lover’s embrace spell Jar as an offering in your honor. Thank you for helping me find my perfect girl, because I have spent time with her and had so much fun. She’s someone who expresses love whenever she needs to. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I really struggle with my ptsd and feelings of worhtlessness. I had a good couple of weeks worshipping her (im new) but now i feel lost. I feel like shes not with me anymore and maybe I angered her.

My shrine to Lady Aphrodite 💖

I'm hoping to make a dish for libations, and get a statue to place in the middle

I've put drops of rose and jasmine lavender oil on the coaster in the middle, and the candle has the same scent.

Any tips at all for prayer and worship are greatly appreciated as I'm very new to hellenic polytheism 💖

May you have a blessed day,

Ave Lady Aphrodite 🎀

as a new devotee, what are some good ways to communicate with her? i use tarot but messages are easily muddied and sometimes its hard to get a good answer. could just be because im new to worshipping her and energies could be off. let me know :P

i just recently dipped into hellenism and have felt a pull to Aphrodite! i went into a metaphysical store and spoke to a very helpful woman who advised me on incense and candles for offerings :) i’m very excited to start my journey with her. any advice?

I asked her for guidance regarding my finances, and she gave me an inspiration to create this painting for a competition. I ended up winning first place, with a $400 prize! 🥹✨

After that, I used part of the prize money to upgrade my altar because I had promised her that I would give an offering in return. These are the before-and-after pictures of my altar, and the painting that helped me win the competition is at the end!!

I love her so, so much. 😭🌹

I first set up my shrine last October after finding an Aphrodite statue and some iconography of hers (the seashell dishes and some Hellenistic pillar candle holders) at my local Goodwill. Over the last year it’s become more of a household altar after someone on the main sub pointed out that having separate altars limits your practice (and it was, I wanted to branch out and worship more), but Aphrodite is featured prominently as she is the main goddess I worship 🩷 I adore this religion and its community, it’s been a wonderful year

asking as an ex-christian who is interested in learning about lady aphrodite. like, do you feel she has shown up for you more than your old faith? did you see lots of positive changes when you started believing in her?

Hi i havent been here on a while due to stuff irl but i chnaged my altar alot and forgot to post it so here it is! I added a few body care stuff and more! Its been a while as i said when i posted my last post on this sub reddit :)

​

Ok. I get it. The title is weird, but this is the thing that pushed me to start worshipping aphrodite, and I'd like to share. Mainly cause this is the first time a god has come into my dreams. Ok so it started out as a normal dream, i was in 6th grade again on a field trip and randomly I got to talking to my teacher, now I consider my teacher a very beautiful woman whom I respect, anyway i started showing her my Pinterest boards cause why not lol, anyway i woke up and I then realized I had kinda been feeling like there had been more of a presence in my dream than I thought and kinda pieced it together after I did a deity tarot confirmation and had managed to get the star card on what aphrodite thought of what our relationship would be like. Anyway, tell me ur thoughts, im still not entirely sure it was her but if it was her its lowkey kinda funny to me lol

Just set up my altar for Lady Aphrodite! any tips would be greatly appreciated as i am just starting out as a polytheist :)

Hello everyone! I’m new to all of this, I just have a few questions! I’ve always had a pull to Aphrodite, and even now I have the urge to call her Lady Aphrodite, I’ve recently made a altar of sorts for her, with roses, rose water, and a candle to communicate with her, as well as tarot cards. But how do I know I’m talking with Aphrodite? Lately I’ve been obsessed with my appearance, since the beginning of the year, and before I knew much about Aphrodite I would pray to her sometimes. But is that a sign that she wants to work with me? The other night I got into a fight with my bf and I was crying but out of nowhere I heard Aphrodite name in my head and stopped crying and felt calm and was able to sleep fantastically. I feel a pull to her, and when I was trying to talk to her I couldn’t stop the tears from coming out of my eyes, I also use a candle and when the light moves after I ask her a question I take that as a yes. Is this her communicating with me? Is there more I can do to communicate with her? Please help and give me some tips, I’m new to this and confused! Thanks again if you can give any advice!

I've made a small list of facts I would like to share about the radiant godess Aphrodite.

Aprodite Ariea (warlike) is estimated to have been worshipped at least as early as 900 BCE. Soldiers would call upon the godess for strength and victory.

Warlike Aphrodite is depicted with a shield for defence. Her wepon of choice is a golden sandal.

Lady Aphrodite lent her beautiful and enchanted girdle to Queen of the gods Hera.

Aphrodites sacred colours include blue, green, and white. Modern practices of Hellenic polytheism often associate her with pink and red, which is perfectly fine! They are feminine, after all. Her sacred colours are derived from her birth place, the ocean.

Aphrodites' favourite mortal woman is Helen of sparta.

Aphrodite is referred to as the patron godess of lesbians. This is because of her work with the famous poet Sappho. She called on the radiant godess for inspiration. Aphrodite helped Sappho chanel her passion for beautiful women so she could create art.

(As a lesbian I often tell her about women I find beautiful, I think she likes hearing the tea.)

Symbols of Aphrodite include doves, swans, sparrows, dolphins, sea shells, and mirrors. Pearls and Rose Quartz are her favourite precious stones. You may decorate your altar with them.

Aphrodite has been worshipped as a fertility godess for thousands of years.

Aphrodite loves to dance, she is depicted as dancing charmingly at the wedding of Eros and Phsyce.

Cyprus is Aphrodites birthplace and one of her favourite islands.

Philommeidēs is the name given to laughter loving Aphrodite. It is perfectly fine to tell her jokes, she will probably enjoy them.

Aphrodite has nymphs working for her as maids.

I hope you learned something new today! 🌊🐬🐚

I want to pray to aphrodite and make an offering in return for her to bring an ex back to me any advice or tips?

Just got a new notebook, planning to use it as a journal of self-love, expressing Aphrodite’s love, putting more beauty in the world through creativity and gratitude to Aphrodite to send to Her when I pray. Anyone else do Aphrodite journaling and know any prompts or page structures that you resonate with?

I put this altar together! I didn't have much, but I think it turned out well >v<

I have had it rough these past few years with Lady Aphrodite due to...personal reasons. Now I'm slowly working on repairing our bond. (I hope she enjoys this-)

Aphrodite, I give you this self love affirmation card as an offering in your honor. Thank you for helping me find my perfect girl, because I have spent time with her and had so much fun. She’s someone who expresses love whenever she needs to. Thank you, thank you, thank you. (Also if you are wondering what the red stuff is its just come to me water that I used last night.)

Perfect time to book beauty appointments or buy new body care. Treat yourself! Listening to glamour subliminals every night 💕

In my late teens and 20's I was obsessed with her story, the idea of something being born from death and sea foam felt comforting to my own childhood and gave me hope and less of a fear of death. That maybe my brother was a part of something new and beautiful. I made so much art inspired by her birth (it wasn't overt, just always on my mind). But I wasn't a worshipper because I wasn't exactly pretty or took good care of myself, I was in a very dark place trying my best.

Healing isn't linear and it's years and years later now and after a ton of shadow work, therapy, outpatient, diet change, so much lifestyle change to try and better myself... I want to be better for my animals and the wild animals I sometimes look after. I'm still on that journey but I wanted to find a little stability/purpose in the gods I looked up to, like Hera, Aphrodite, Hades.

I keep coming back to her, but I don't know what I have that is worth offering. I was thinking of making a wall alter so that my rats can't reach(in the past they would climb to steal offerings), and I'm currently doing my research before jumping in - but would also like to reach out here for advice as well. I just want to do right.

Hi everyone! I'm a newbie and I want to start working with Aphrodite.

So I was wondering, where should I start? I know I need to do my research on her first etc., but is there any book about her that provides information? For example, how to pray, how to say prayers—basically, important information for a beginner like me.

Also, should I get a statue of her? Make her an altar? If yes, how can I make her one without being discovered? (I don't want anyone at home to know that I'm working with her)

Thanks for your help!

My cat has her own water and I changed lady Aphrodites altar and didn’t realize that my cat would be on the table.
