She quite literally adores Goldfish Crackers.

I'm about to be in a relationship with a person that I really like, but even though we both feel attracted to each other, we don't take the next step, and I've thought about praying to Aphrodite to help me with this, it would be enough just a prayer + offering? Could Aphrodite help me get along more with that girl?

do any of you ever just… talk to Her? like not praying formally like speaking properly for prayer, but just praying to her and babbling? sometimes i begin to pray and then just start yapping away. i haven’t gotten any signs against it so far, i imagine she enjoys little gossip/yap times.

anyone else do this?

made a petition to Aphrodite and i just keep seeing hearts and videos about her everywhere. And it really warms my heart that she’s hearing me and she’s here for me.🩷🐚🌊

So I’ve been thinking of getting a bunny and I was wondering if it would be a good little devotional act to lady Aphrodite to get one? Do you think she would like it as a devotion to her. I swear I’m going ti treat and care for it fully it’s not just a one minute project I want to care for the animal for its whole life. Could I get some more thoughts on it

So, I wanted to know if it's necessary to leave it for a long time. Because, like, when the offerings aren't food, I leave them for days. However, when it's food, I don't know what to do.

Like, Today I offered her a strawberry cupcake. And like, it's sweet so if I leave it for a while it will start to get that little ants. And I won't like it and neither will she.

Anyway, how long do you leave it for?

So there´s this rather sensitive topic I had with my partner that happened to bring me to the edge of despair twice this month. It is a romantic topic related with validation, and those topics are kind of an issue to me because I get very sensitive about it. We solved it twice, but I realized that after the first time I started thinking "I need my mother´s advice", and told to myself I would talk to her but then I discarded that idea because I tend to be avoidant. Being avoidant is an issue that my therapist has pointed out a lot within our therapies. After the last event with my partner I talked to my mom and opened to her on a very honest way, and everything turned out to be more than perfect! After having talked to her I now feel much more relieved, especially because she didn´t judged me nor shamed me, but she helped me and VALIDATED me in a way I had been looking forward to for a long time.

So what does Aphrodite has to do with this? Well, I think she influenced in a way to put that issue within my partner and me, so as to send me the message of: "talk to your mother, you need to reinforce that relationship, if you don´t then I will keep sending you this issue until you do it". And I thank her for it, I don´t see why she wouldn´t be involved in this matter as she is the goddess of love and she knows exactly how my brain tends to work, so I am really grateful to her for this experience.

So there is this song by Suki Waterhouse that doesn’t make much sense on the lyrics actually, but the title and the chorus feels like Her singing it especially to me. For a guy with low self esteem, GAD and into meds, it does make a difference between a good and a bad moment. I don’t know. Some may say I am taking it as a parasocial relationship but I don’t think so. To me it feels like She is giving me some cues and signs that She knows me, loves me and cares for me, especially during in worst days. So if she says I am Her goodlooking boy, I choose to believe.

whenever i talk to her or meditate, i know she’s there when i feel my posture being fixed lol. i always feel like she’s pulling me up as a way of saying “keep your head up, stay confident”

In my head this is the sign I asked for😭😭

I had a major anxiety moment earlier today and turned to Aphrodite for help. I cleaned her altar, anointed her statue in rose essential oil, and already started to feel calmer.

I petitioned Her, agreeing to leave her offerings every night until my request was fulfilled. Minutes after lighting her candle, I got an email saying that 100% of my grad school tuition will be covered by my employer.

I'm posting this to fulfill my end of the petition to let everyone know what she's done for me.

I love you, Aphrodite.

(Context: today is my grandpa’s birthday and my dad’s family came together to have a lunch with him. It’s been so long since I have experienced this level of peace and joy with my dad’s family so I am thankful)

I thank you goddess of love for the beautiful day I’ve had. For the beauty and the joy I have been permitted to receive and experience, for the positivity of this wonderful day, for the people’s love I have been blessed with today, and every other day too. I thank you for the aid you have given me to be able to appreciate the blessings I recibe in my life. You know I often see the glass half empty but today you made it half full for me. I thank you for that and I love you from the bottom of my heart. Please don’t allow me to see the glass half empty, but permit me appreciate the beauty in my life and the blessings I been given, especially those given by you.

Big heart strawberry offering!

for context i am fairly new to hellenism, although i have been aware and have done research on it a few years prior because of curiosity and interest. i started worshipping Lady Aphrodite just yesterday, because of an extremely vivid vision i had of Her statue and myself in front, lighting candles and giving offerings. i felt it was a sign from Her. i have an altar set up in my room for Her already, and i have given Her a few offerings and prayer. i have also dedicated my self care time to Her as well. i of course dont expect a close connection with Her just yet, since i just started and i know that it takes time, but are there any other ways for me to build a connection with her? is it okay to ask for a small sign so that i know She hears me? any help is appreciated, thank you!

note: Venus as a Boy by Björk started playing while i was writing this, can i interpret this as the sign i was looking for?

What are the most important things, in your opinion, to understand before completely becoming an Aphrodite devotee (especially someone coming from a background heavy in the Christian faith). I have pulled back from the Christian faith for a while now, and have been on a 9 month spirituality discovery which has led me to allowing myself to explore the calling I've had for a while towards Aphrodite. I've read books, prayed, given offerings and dedications, and humbly asked that I may give her praise, worship, and invite Her into my life as She sees fit. I'm still learning though so all advice welcome!

🩷Thank you and blessings 🩷

Hi, So I’m crying rn so sorry if this doesn’t make sense. I have Asperger’s and I’ve been lonely for 5 years. I need a girlfriend because I have such a strong desire for femininity because I can’t live without it. I need it to survive. I wanted to transition to be a woman but I’m scared that’s autogynephilia and I also don’t feel like a woman (I guess something similar) but I’m scared I’m just internalizing what I want. I just have this strong desire for femininity and it only gets stronger. Can Aphrodite help me feel complete and feminine?

I've noticed that both goddesses have a connection with one another in their associated epithets. What do we think this signifies as the relationship between the two of them?

Moving from catholic/Christian upbringing, i can no longer reconcile the "facts" that the Christian god can allow this much suffering in my life (andi others's, even men in generL just so, much trauma. I no longer feel safe or fulfilled by a male diety. Does anyone else view Aphrodite in a motherly-type light? If so, may I ask what that relationship looks like for you?

💗Blessings💗

Just set up my mini altar to Lady Aphrodite at our new place. Amongst my string of pearls and right near one of my cacti, I have an offering bowl of rose petals anointed in rose oil, a golden platter where I put the candle I light for her, a small statue of Gaia representing more of the divine feminine and womanhood, and a fire quartz moon carving, a lepidolite tower, a lace flower agate mushroom, and a raw emerald.
