i had asked aphrodite what she wanted as an offering yesterday (friday, her day that i try to offer to her) and didn’t get much of a response. in the day, i went on the train and found these flowers that had been left behind on the seats behind me. i was on the train for a while and nobody took them, so i took them with me when i got off. i carried them around with me all day then put them in a vase on the shelf above her altar when i got home. i think they are what she wanted and i hope she likes them 🫶🏻🫶🏻 i think they are baby’s breath flowers? i don’t think they are directly associated with her in any way so maybe it was just coincidence? any thoughts?

For context, I use clairaudience and and clairvoyance to communicate with her most of the time.

Today I had my Aphrodite ritual again and since I started getting more used to them, she also helped me to be more chill about it (she helps me often to be more chill about things because when I started my path, I almost got a panic attack when I wasn’t able to light a candle first try) and it feels more like a fun hangout with a good friend. We make jokes together, I tell her stories about my life and she makes jokingly fun about me (it’s always in my boundaries). I also love to dance with her, it helps me to forget my stressed life for a moment. Of course I am a little scared of getting delusional, but she promised me that she will make sure that won’t happen and I fully trust her with it. But because I never really saw post about her sharing something similar I wanted to ask how your bound are to her, just because I’m curious.

Edit: Translating mistake

So this is a little silly and maybe no one has any input. I am a writer and recent follower of Lady Aphrodite, and one of my stories is set in ancient greek and follows a daughter of Lady Aphrodite throughout her troubles in life and stuff. I was wondering if that was somehow disrespectful or like,,,idk frowned upon?

Hello! I'm a fairly new follower of hers, I guess it's been about two or three weeks now, she's been really kind to me, at least I feel so. I currently don't have a statue for her so I was wondering if drawing her statue and a bit of how I see her beauty would work? I really want her to feel welcomed.

someone was curious about the offerings i left for her for her darker epithets but unfortunately i can’t reply to their comment w a picture, i apologise if it seems like im spamming this sub but here it is! in it has a few obsidian pieces (including a heart shaped one), smokey quartz, black tourmaline, clear quartz shards, tigers eye,basil, thyme, black salt (that i made) crushed cloves, rosemary a pair of golden dagger earrings with black gems i thrifted (i think it represents femininity and power/strength perfectly for her) and i also drew a dagger and knife that i leave next to it as an offering too :). ofc i put my intention with every herb and crystal i put in, i also put my protection spell i made in there for her blessings. blessed be, i hope you’re all well <3

Hi, I’m kinda embarrassed to ask her this but I’m a bisexual man and I want a clean shaven face forever while having long hair in feminine/women’s hairstyles and I can retain my male body. I ask because I’m starting to embrace my femininity while being a guy and I really like women’s hairstyles and I was wondering if I can never grow a beard ever again in the afterlife. Sorry if this question is off topic but I would just like to ask this.

i just wanna share my experience so far :). i actually set up my alter and started my worship to her on my birthday! which bonus points was on a friday. it hasn’t been really long, but one thing i’ve noticed is how motherly she is, how protective and supportive she is. i’ve cried to her on her alter a few times, rage ranted to her on her alter, had random conversations with her and she’s genuinely so so amazing. there’s been times i’ve cried about my sexuality to her and as soon as i start ranting to her thru tears i feel this nice tingly sensation and i stop crying SO quickly, it’s really nice having someone supportive like that since i live in a homophobic christian household. she always listens and it makes me feel seen in ways i hadn’t felt seen before, she’s made me more confident and happy with myself. having my daily conversations with her is my favourite part of my day. i’ve also noticed she’s really protective, and i love that. i do also worship w her much darker epithets (if anyone is interested in seeing the offerings i give to her in honour of those epithets i can gladly show!) i’ve noticed that the people who have been hurting me for so long around me are finally getting their karma (and yes, it’s such a joy to see). i grew up christian too so it’s kinda crazy seeing my prayers and wishes being answered. i had dreamed of worshipping her for years and years, i always knew she was one of the goddesses i wanted to work with, it’s been a wild ride, at first it was really bumpy, but i realised they where lessons i needed to be taught, im glad she was the one who taught me them. things are much calmer now, very lovey and also lowkey self pleasurable (iykyk) i also noticed my skin has gotten so much clearer and im so glad and grateful for that too, i just overall feel more beautiful and when i look in the mirror i feel like i even LOOK more beautiful, she’s amazing, and i wouldn’t change my worship of her for anything. i know i still have a lot of even more learning to do and experiences to go thru, but i know it’s all in good favour (hopefully) thank you for reading if you did. i hope you’re all doing well, blessed be <3

Hello!🥰 i will be upgrading my altar for Mother Aphrodite soon. I have seen such beauuuutiful altars on here, and I wanted to ask you guys for altar decor ideas! What does the Goddess like on her altar? And where did you guys purchase them from? Honestly any ideas will be very helpful! Thank you so much♥️

Sending love to you all🌊🐚

Hello! I'm very new to aphrodite worship. only setting up an alter about a week ago kinda new.. but I've been seeing her signs for years now. It just kind of clicked one day, you know? Ever since I noticed these signs, I have felt a much stronger attraction for my partner. Like, I had always felt attraction for him, but it's become a lot stronger and much more seductive than before. (I was particularly shocked because I've always identified as being asexual) and it all started ever since I've noticed her signs..

Is this just a placebo? Or does this have anything to do with her? With her being the goddess of love new stuff?

Greetings to all.

There are some food offerings that I make to the goddess, sweet liquors, honey and as a joke between us, apples of the Golden delisius variety, any other suggestions?

I'm sure many of us ask ourselves why we worship a particular deity? What do we hope to gain from it? What do we hope to build in our mutual relationship with a god or goddess? I've struggled with depression for a long time; I ask myself, "How can I worship a goddess of love when, so often in my life, I just feel empty inside?" Then, it dawned on me - maybe this is exactly why I feel called by Aphrodite to honor her and learn from her. Love, desire, passion, beauty - it can come in a variety of forms. Working with Aphrodite can help bring all of these qualities into my life.

i think that places like shein and temu are out the question so does anyone know any good places (preferably websites) where i can buy things for her that are about her? but that also aren’t crazy expensive since im only a college student, ive found some beautiful things for her in charity shops (including the statue i have of her) but unfortunately i can only find so much, i’ve looked on vinted and depop and was genuinely unfortunately left with disappointment, if anyone has any suggestions please lmk! blessed be

hi everyone! hope everyone is well, i want to make a poppet for my practice/craft. i’ve looked but i genuinely can’t really find much. if anyone has any advice or links or videos on how to make one that would be lovingly appreciated :). much love and blessed be!! <3

I’ve always thought Greek Gods/Goddesses are interesting, but I’m not sure on where to start with worshipping them. I’ve always been drawn to Aphrodite, Demeter and most recently Hestia, but have no idea on how to start the worshipping process. I’ve never really felt any of them reaching out to me, but I do feel a connection when I read about them. I don’t really have the space in my room for altars dedicated to each of them, could I create one big altar and incorporate their kind of “things” (I’m not sure what it’s called) inside of it? If so, what would those items include? I’m also a big believer in the universe, can I blend Hellenism and my belief in the universe or is that considered wrong? Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I know Aphrodite is the goddess of love and she can help in a lot of areas in that regard. I'm curious - can working with Aphrodite help me get over an unrequited love? Its causing me a lot of heartache 💔 and I really hope Aphrodite can help me heal from this.

Greetings and waves of love to all.

I am building an altar to Aphrodite but my budget is limited, I am from Latin America And my economy is the subject of memes.

I have a powerful intuition that I need a scripture, but the ones that are economically accessible are ugly, They are poor reproductions of Aly Express or Temmu and appear to be artist copies.

The artists I know in my area only work with epoxy resin and are not known for being responsible with deliveries.

I have no artistic ability,I was thinking of printing the image of a sculpture momentarily.

How did you solve the need for an image?

Hi. I am completely new to any of this, and i don't know how it works. I've been doing research about how to make altars for Aphrodite, pray, what to give in offerings, etc. the problem is is that i have never involved myself in religion or believing in gods until now. the purpose of why i consider following Aphrodite is for assistance in beauty and my current relationship. any advice would be very appreciated on how i could continue to explore this.

The flames were strong and I noticed them flicker when I hummed Ariel’s aria from the little mermaid. Spent some time really reaching out to Aphrodite about a friend who just passed and not knowing how to deal with grief and she provided me the perfect tarot to make me feel seen and like I wasn’t alone 💕

To give some general knowledge to understand my story, I'm 19, I am woman, she/her pronouns, i am queer/bisexual, I study philosophy, I had a lot of trauma in my childhood with SA and abuse, when Abusive person left and I turned 10/11 I started gravitating to witchcraft to cope, I was also severely bullied because of appearance and interests and when I was 13 I started worshipping Aphrodite by creating an altar for her.

So I want to talk about my relationships and how Aphrodite has helped me. When I turned 17 I met a trans man who I fell in love with. And I manifested him into my life with a attracting love spell with Aphrodite's assistance. Once we got together he started showing darker parts of him. Drug abuse, suicide attempts, eating disorders. Through my practice I tried to be there for him and support him, but it wasn't enough. He had mental help but would lie, steal, make things up. Then he also started to manipulate me "if you don't do example like sexual act or lose weight or dye your hair normal (i dye my hair bright colors then i will example of threats to do with suicide, drug abuse etc*. He also cheated on me and I kept forgiving him because I just wanted to help him. Now i realize how bad it was but in the moment i just thought of him as a hurt traumatized misunderstood person like i am. But he started controlling me, weight, appearance, etc, friends. He beated me up a couple times. One situation was so extreme, he was killing me. I prayed to Aphrodite and finally the switch was made in my head and I left him. I dealt with extreme stalking for month by him after that. Shortly dated a girl who didn't want a committed closed relationship and was kind of using me for loving attention and he found out. All went to shit and so I decided to stay single. This happened January this year.

For awhile I distanced myself from others but got invited to a gothic rave in Amsterdam (i live in the Netherlands) in April this year. I finally moved on from the girl i dated and my ex before that and was having fun. throughout the night i kept noticing a guy and eventually i walked up to him, shoved my phone in his hands to put in his number/insta. I didn't say anything because it was loud but after that I gained a whole friend group and a romantic connection with this guy.

I finally didn't feel so alone and alienated that I have felt throughout my life. He understood me and my trauma, was patient, caring, sweet.. And our connection kept blooming. He asked to hang out which were definitely dates and already shared a sort of intimate moment. Outside of a punk "club" we talked and held hands and kind of played/stroked each other's hands. In that moment I felt Aphrodite whispering to me without words. That was the man for me. We kept meeting up and July 8th I wrote to Aphrodite, "I'm entering a new chapter". Once that was written he asked me to come over the next day to watch movies at his house. We watched the Witch (bc he knew i am one), and during the second moviewI was yapping and suddenly he kissed me. It wasn't awkward i wanted it because i was gaining feelings for him. I asked him why he did that and he said " idk". That hurted bc it shows it was an impulsive action. So instead i said "well find a reason then".Ha bit later he started telling me he likes likes me and wants something with me. We spend the whole night talking, cuddling, it was so lovely. And decided we were gonna have a closed romantic relationship.

Since then, no arguments, disagreements, the same views, going out together, same interests, showing interest in each other's feelings/thoughts/passion, challenging but helping each other with grieve, insecurity, great philosophical talks till deep in the night, intimacy (no sex bc i need time and trust for that bc of my trauma but were very intimate), went on dates, let each other in on every aspect of our lives and became entangled together. One night I was ab to go down on him but he stopped me to say I just want you to know, I love you. In the moment i was shocked because i didn't understand someone could love love me. I told him i loved him too but in reality i didn't even think yet if i LOVED him. Love is such a big word to me. But slowly i realized, the relationship we have and what i feel for him is love. I loved him.

For 3 months we we're together like this and all went well. Then Friday end of September I texted him to go on a date Saturday to the movies. I decided im going as Lydia on her red bride dress to Halloween and Beetlejuice 2 was in the cinema. So i asked him to go the next day. He said yes and was getting ready for a party that night so i told him have fun sleep in then tomorrow call me and we will go in the evening. I didn't hear from him anymore. I tried to connect to Aphrodite but was met with a feeling of sudden dread. Sunday comes around and still i didn't hear anything. I got really worried also because of my past experience. Suddenly at 11 at night he texts me. I'm sorry i didn't respond, we need to talk face to face. I panicked. I thought he cheated. I know if what he then told me was said face to face i would have lost my mind. I already had a tough week. My dog passed, my cat passed, I got a lawsuit in my neck, I failed an exam, my mom was diagnosed with Lyne decease, everything was falling apart. So i told him to call me.

He called me and i started praying internally to Aphrodite for help.She told mehen wanted to break up because he felt nothing for me.

I lost it for a bit. I was so shocked felt so hurt and used i blocked him, his family, his friends, everything and everyone tied to him. I deblocked him 2 October and asked to explain himself and that he hurted me. He came up with (in my opinion) bs. That he didn't know how to feel, doesn't know what he wants, im perfect for him but he doesn't want me, but im not the problem tbh all blabla is what is sounded like. I send him a whole paragraph about my feelings for him and that we should try again and that he was the one who initiated everything and that's not nothing / no feelings. He told me so much stuff he showed through his actions to me others and behind my back to others that im his girl and he loves me.. He didn't respond until now.

Last night i talked to Aphrodite and asked her to send me the love i deserve. I had a nightmare of him cheating on me and i deblocked his X/twitter to check what he has been posting. Dated 1 October, public posts/correspondence between him and a french girl "I'm in love with you, the feeling is mutual, omw, im waiting for you, i miss u, i miss u too babes" and dated 7 October "taking a vow of celibacy because my french wife (whom i love) says im too fat for sex". Idc if it was a joke i lost it. He said on the break up call there was no other person he was in love with, he wasn't cheating and i fucking believed him.i had a panic attack called him at 2 am crying voicemails. Today i blocked him everywhere and gave up. I forgot the number and he called me later. I got mad at him called him a naive weak person who used me and still gave him another chance to make things right but he " can't give me" what i want which is a closed committed relationship. So i told him i think he is dropping a beautiful relationship which could have grown even more beautiful, just because he suddenly overnight says he doesn't have feelings for me? Which is according to him based on that he doesn't know what he wants and just wanted to try me out.

I told him treating people like try outs/free trials, which causes pain, will get back to him by 3. Hung up and blocked him.

Now I'm feeling lost. I'm mad, hurt, but mostly disappointed. My life is hectic and often painful/a deep struggle. Him and his friend group was the one thing that wasn't supposed to slip from my hands but it did. He said i wasn't the problem but he discarded me just like that. I don't know what to do. I closed the door I'm done with him and everything to do with him but i don't know how to deal with the disappointment. It was the cherry on the pile of shit..

All was so good and it just slipped away from me overnight. I asked Aphrodite through tarot cards but am overwhelmed with hurt that i can't understand the cards. I don't know what to do. I just needed to dump this somewhere. I deleted insta just got this and my phone number so im talking to just 3 friends who just call him a piece of shit and tell me to get drunk and find a rebound. But this was a relationship of real Love and Choice. And i was used and left. Again. i don't understand why this happens to me. I'm really trying to be a good person and i take my relationships / friendships very serious and loyal but still.. Anyone has any advice? Or something they can make sense of?

Side note maybe someone sees a connection: I have felt attracted to worshiping Lilith last 2 weeks and have gotten signs. I also still feel strongly connected to Aphrodite.

So, randomly, I've had Aphrodite's name in my mind for days with nothing prompting it. (I'm autistic, so I didn't think anything weird of it.) My TikTok started being flooded with things about alters, worship of the gods, and pendulums when I've never searched for anything like that before. Randomly, I found my tarot card necklace and ring, which I haven't worn for months. The ring is the High Priestess, and the necklace is the Lovers. I started finding pretty dishes and trays at thrift stores, and my main thoughts were that they would look cool on an altar. I have this nagging feeling (in a good way) that I should build an altar. But I haven't done anything like this before. I picked up a book about Wiccan stuff and have been trying to do some research. I just wanted to consult some people who've been doing this longer than I have. Is she reaching out? Or am I just being silly

Today i wanted to blow out the candle on my altar to Lady Aphrodite because i was gonna go take a shower. When i have candles lit in my room and im gonna leave my room for a longer period of time i blow them out because I'm scared the house might burn down if the candles fall over or something. So as i said i wanted to bliw the candle out but for some reason the candle wouldn't go out no matter how hard i blew, i thought to myself "hm does Aphrodite not want me to blow out the candle?" And the flame started flickering? So i just left the candle burning even tho i was kinda scared it might fall over. Does someone know what this means?

I was so lucky in finding these two beautiful statues of the goddess at a thrift store!!! Only 20 euros each!!

Along with offering her fresh strawberries & raspberries, i decided to do a candle offering for her as well with the little ingredients I had.

I’m wanting to start working with her more via spell work (self love spells, confidence spells, etc.) Does anybody have any ideas or advice?

thank you in advance! 🦋
