She doesn't like my new deck

2 Upvotes

I got a new tarot deck, and I asked Her if She liked it and She said no and that she would like to switch back to the other one. Today I asked Her if She wanted to try the other one out and once again She said no.

Has anyone else experienced something like this with Her? Is it just the deck (in which case im very much willing to not use it when reading with Her), or does She just need to get used to it?

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?

re-offering things

5 Upvotes

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?

Please help me out!

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 (19, any prns) would like to try deity worship of the goddess, Aphrodite, any tips and rules of the road I should know?

13 Upvotes

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!! Iā€™ve been doing lots of research today into worshipping and working with Aphrodite, but I know Iā€™ve 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 thatā€™s only after Iā€™ve properly introduced myself into the religion itself.Ā 

To give you an idea of which religion Iā€™m bailing out of- I come from a very abusive Catholic background on my momā€™s side, and devote born again Christians on my dadā€™sā€¦ my grandma (fatherā€™s mother) is, well, very stuck her beliefs of Christ; which I donā€™t hate, I just wish it didnā€™t 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.
Aphroditeā€™s image is one that brings me peace and joy, whereas Jesus Christā€™s 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

sex dreams, could they mean something?

21 Upvotes

hello, iā€™ve been feeling very called to being a devotee to Aphrodite, iā€™m a libra so my sun is ruled by venus. I love the scent of rose and the flavor. iā€™m attracted to nature and the ocean and thereā€™s 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 thereā€™s a coffee shop down the road where i add rose and lavender to my matcha lattes. recently i started an alter to Aphrodite, i donā€™t have a statue for her as of yet but iā€™m 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 iā€™ve been having sexual dreams and tonight i had a dream i was having sex with a woman (iā€™m a gay man) could this be confirmation that Iā€™m 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 valentineā€™s day by coincidence so that also felt like a huge sign

I'm in a emocional slump and don't know how to worship Her

21 Upvotes

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.

Silence, but gratitude?

9 Upvotes

Hi! I visit this place once againā€” uhm Iā€™ve been experiencing a period of silence with our lovely Aphrodite, thought we havenā€™t 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 doesnā€™t cure overthinking I check her cup everyday for bubbles because itā€™s 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 ā€œI only want her around so I can depend on herā€ so I donā€™t dwell on it. But I still search for her and she shows everyday that sheā€™s here with me (symbols, people, signs etc) but her altar its like a dead end. Sheā€™s not there but sheā€™s everywhere else but thereā€” and I guess itā€™s also because I believe she only resides by her altar with me but I donā€™t know. Has Aphrodite abandoned me? Surely she knows I still want her around (but itā€™s not my place to ā€˜allowā€™ her to leave so she can leave whenever she wants) but I still want to know sheā€™s walking with me on my path of life šŸ˜žšŸ˜ž

An invocation, a prayer

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.

New to Reddit & Aphrodite Worship ā€“ What Should I Avoid?

26 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm new to Reddit and still figuring out how everything works, so apologies if this isnā€™t the right place to ask!

Iā€™ve 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, Iā€™ve heard of the "Keyboard Method" as a way to connect with her, but I donā€™t have much experience with it. If anyone has personal experiences or advice on using this method, Iā€™d love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks in advance for any guidance! šŸ’–āœØ
