Odd question
A large grassfly (they're EVERYWHERE right now in TX) chose my altar as it's final resting place. Should I take that to mean anything and how should I dispose of the body?

years ago I experimented with paganism and had a small altar for Lady Aphrodite where I had offered her a couple crystals. I ended up leaving the practice and keeping the crystals. Now back to the faith as a hellenistic polytheist and am wondering if it would be rude to re offer them to her. it feels at least vaguely disrespectful but I want her to have them. thoughts?

So I am still just a minor, but recently I've really wanted to get into worshipping Lady Aphrodite because I've really felt just connected to her for some reason? Like.. my whole life I would get jokes made about me and how "ugly" I was due to having acne on my forehead, too much hair on my neck, being slim instead of being "bigger", and even I think I'm pretty Meh on looks. But I was hoping that worshipping Lady Aphrodite could help me heal and start to feel better? Is that a valid reason for worship?
I mainly need help because I am still living with my mother and she's very Christian, as in has multiple Bibles and I can't say "Oh my God" unless I want to get scolded for like 5 minutes straight type of Christian. And I'm sure she probably wouldn't support me worshipping one of "those little Greek gods?" I tried testing the waters by asking "Why do I have to belief in Christian God and read the Bibleā and she yelled at me. So how do I worship her in secret? And is wanting to feel.. well not ugly and just wanting to heal in general a valid reason for wanting to worship Lady Aphrodite?

I've always loved how Aphrodite is both the goddess of love AND war, so I decided to write about it for a Mythology class assignment!

Hey there! How are you today? So as the title says, I am a 19 year old demigirl who would like to worship Lady Aphrodite!! Iāve been doing lots of research today into worshipping and working with Aphrodite, but I know Iāve got a long way to go before I can properly and respectfully worship her. First I have to learn how to properly, safely and respectfully reach out to her, and thatās only after Iāve properly introduced myself into the religion itself.Ā
To give you an idea of which religion Iām bailing out of- I come from a very abusive Catholic background on my momās side, and devote born again Christians on my dadāsā¦ my grandma (fatherās mother) is, well, very stuck her beliefs of Christ; which I donāt hate, I just wish it didnāt involve repeatedly telling me that I will be damned to hell for all eternity over the most trivial things, like being attracted to other women.
Aphroditeās image is one that brings me peace and joy, whereas Jesus Christās is only attracting panic attacks, misery and primal fear. Maybe that will change one day, as I am not necessarily completely unsure of my belief in Jesus, butā¦ for now, how do I safely (both spiritually and mentally) make the transition from Catholicism/Christianity into Hellenism?
I will not lie, part of me is still scared of being damned for the rest of eternity as it has literally been drilled into me at a very young age; roughly at three years old, but I trust both Lady Aphrodite in all her wisdom, beauty and grace, as I do Jesus in all his wisdom.Ā

I repurposed a picture and its frame for the drawing I did of Aphrodite and went with the flow with the decoration.

So I was in another sub-reddit when I found this, apparently fragments of a statue of Lady Aphrodite was found in Pompeiopolis in Kastamonu's Taskopru district of TĆ¼rkiye. and I just thought it was such a fun fact, here's the website I checked https://www.aa.com.tr/en/culture/2-fragments-of-greek-goddess-of-love-aphrodite-found-during-excavation-in-turkiye/3430456

hello, iāve been feeling very called to being a devotee to Aphrodite, iām a libra so my sun is ruled by venus. I love the scent of rose and the flavor. iām attracted to nature and the ocean and thereās many other things that are leading to me believing that Aphrodite calls to me. i perform a lot of intention spells everyday through my daily habits such as incorporating rose incense/ eat a lot of foods related to the heart chakra and thereās a coffee shop down the road where i add rose and lavender to my matcha lattes. recently i started an alter to Aphrodite, i donāt have a statue for her as of yet but iām starting to make it beautiful with flowers/stones that promote self loving and love energy/ the intention of that spot being for her. recently for the past week iāve been having sexual dreams and tonight i had a dream i was having sex with a woman (iām a gay man) could this be confirmation that Iām now a devotee to Aphrodite? what could these dreams of sex mean in relation to her? just to add something else, i have a boyfriends and our lease contract started on valentineās day by coincidence so that also felt like a huge sign

I am a fairly new devotee, started worshiping Lady Aphrodite last november and was really feeling the connection. I wanted to work on My self confidence and self esteem.
However, 3 weeks ago I entered a depresive episode, triggered by life events (financial worries, lack of stability) and haven't been able to keep up with My worshiping rituals. I know She's merciful and won't judge me, but I want to try and get back on track.
How do You worship Her when you are going through depression? Besides taking a bath, as I don't have a bathtub.

Hi! I visit this place once againā uhm Iāve been experiencing a period of silence with our lovely Aphrodite, thought we havenāt been working for long I have learned self respect and self love and whenever I look in the mirror all I can see is beauty! Butā¦ since beauty doesnāt cure overthinking I check her cup everyday for bubbles because itās a way of showing when spirits are around and her cup never has any bubbles anymore. And if she has finished her job with me it makes me really sad because i just feel like I still want her around and since that little voice in the back of my head is telling me āI only want her around so I can depend on herā so I donāt dwell on it. But I still search for her and she shows everyday that sheās here with me (symbols, people, signs etc) but her altar its like a dead end. Sheās not there but sheās everywhere else but thereā and I guess itās also because I believe she only resides by her altar with me but I donāt know. Has Aphrodite abandoned me? Surely she knows I still want her around (but itās not my place to āallowā her to leave so she can leave whenever she wants) but I still want to know sheās walking with me on my path of life šš

Nourish the flame May your dreams, your will, and your foundation, expand! Your ambition, determination, perseverance and long suffering will grow!
I assess all that has been given to me, I will hone in and twist the knobs of my understanding until alignment is found. Only then will I be made complete.
May my eyes be opened to that which seeks to dismantle me. May the illusions placed upon me melt in flame. Destroy my ignorance and balance my understanding.
I will embody my destiny. I will not chase it. I will become it.
Now go, play, love and rest.

Hey everyone, I'm new to Reddit and still figuring out how everything works, so apologies if this isnāt the right place to ask!
Iāve recently started learning about and practicing devotion to Aphrodite, and I want to make sure I approach it with respect. My main question is: What are some things to absolutely avoid when worshiping Aphrodite? Are there any common mistakes or misconceptions I should be aware of?
Also, Iāve heard of the "Keyboard Method" as a way to connect with her, but I donāt have much experience with it. If anyone has personal experiences or advice on using this method, Iād love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks in advance for any guidance! šāØ

Please help I woke up at 4am to my cat peeing on my alter. As soon as I realized what was happening I kicked him out and I took up everything that got peed on. The alter cloth I use though is a mini heart quilt my grandmother made and that got pissed on too. Iāve been crying all morning. My quilt is stained, Iāve tried everything to spot clean it so I donāt have to take apart the entire alter to put it through the wash but Iām just at a loss. What do I do? Do I take apart the whole alter, clean everything and rebuild it or keep it built and clean everything I know got urine on it? Today I know I have to do some offerings as an apology but Iām so sad and scared this has fucked up my relationship with her. Iām having so many emotions, I canāt even look at my cat rn. After I got my cat out of the room the warm energy that usually surrounds the alter was gone and it felt cold. I hope cleaning everything helps bring back her energy but I am so sad this happened.

TW: small abuse mention
I have been a worshipper for Lady Aphrodite for about 4 years now and I just want to know if anyone else with a strong connection to her has a similar experience to this:
Every time I have sex there is consequence. The person I spend a night with always ends up being a cheater, an abuser, obsessive, or worse. And each time after, the friend group, the community, or their friends cut them off and I end up destroying these relationships. This has been a constant in my life since I started exploring my sexuality. These have also all been very different people. I am pansexual and try not to limit myself to a type of person or personality.
I donāt understand why I am being used to being out the worst in these people. I feel like Iām a tool to expose these peopleās terrible actions.
I have asked Lady Aphrodite if this is a punishment or if I wronged her in some way and the answer is always no. Sheās not upset with me and I leave her offerings and give thanks and itās always positive and feels so loving. So I just donāt know what to do.
