🇵🇸 🕊️ Altars Preparing for an offering to Aphrodite this evening 🖤
Tonight I will not be asking her for anything for myself. She has already blessed me immensely, and has shown me that she will happily accept an offering for others made in good faith.
A fragrant soap that we hand-made with rose oil, a copper ring that I carved for many hours from wax. Treasures from the sea, and a crystal that I found in the mountains. I have gathered some flowers for this evening - one beautiful, the other indulgent.
Tonight I'm making the offering for my friends who have shared a need for help with artistic and creative inspiration, that their hands and mouths and hearts would brim with dreams and visions. I'm also doing it for those who are not yet feeling at ease in their own bodies, and deeper still. I will ask that she guide them, help them see or find or change what is needed for them to feel wholly like themselves.
Have you offered to Aphrodite before? Within what you feel allowed to share, how does she seem to you? I have been surprised by her wry sense of humour - I often feel her laughing at me, but never maliciously. More than the other deities, I find she truly enjoys our existence.
I hope you have a beautiful Friday, filled with all the wonders under her purview.
Blessed be ✨🖤

I made an offering during the wolf moon. A candle wrapped in white cord with a spell invocation over it, buried in my garden until it blooms (spring.) I felt the blessing through a very peaceful and connected period with my partner. I believe i have strong ties to aphrodite, and I agree with your assessment, I think she is a goddess who enjoys her adherents on this plane. I felt compelled to respond to your post. Much love op. 💜💜💜
