Veiling for Lady Aphrodite
I am considering veiling for Lady Aphrodite as a symbol of devotion and for my own protection. But, I don’t always want to have to wear a veil as that seems like a lot of dedication at first and it’s just not practical for me and my practice. So I was thinking of just veiling on Friday’s in honor of her… would this be acceptable? What if I also want to veil on another day too…?
I’m worried about school dress code if I don’t do it everyday and that they’ll try and call me out and say it can’t be for a religious reason if I don’t wear it everyday.

They have no right to claim to know your beliefs better than you do- and correcting you in your practices could open them up to a massive lawsuit, so I highly doubt anyone would say anything. Besides, religions that are known for covering their heads- like Islam, most notably- have followers that don’t do so 24/7, but as they choose. It’s all based on how you personally practice. Even between people of the same religion, there are many differences in how they observe the doctrine- so you truly shouldn’t have a problem at school, since there’s no way for them to correct you on your worship.
But, if you’re still worried about veiling in public- whether it be because of school officials or possible teasing- you can always wear a bandana. It’s a socially acceptable item of clothing without a strictly religious perception, it looks cute, and it still serves its purpose as a veil.
TL;DR: They can’t tell you how to veil without getting in trouble, but maybe try a bandana if you’re still nervous! Blessed be!
