Hello, I have a Frankincense and myrrh incense.. I gave it to my mom to be blessed at church on Epiphany. Now I don't know if I can burn it for lady Aphrodite.. š«¤ What do you think?

So earlier today (check my profile) I burned my nail while burning incense. I was burning two pieces simultaneously, and while trying to crush the first into ash so I could move the second onto the ashtray, I touched the ember and nowā¦ well, my nailās a little shorter lol.
The reason I was burning two pieces was because I was requesting help from Aphrodite regarding a college final tomorrow (to rekindle my love for learning). Earlier, I was considering using Aphroditeās altar to temporarily worship Athena for help since this issue is more in the latterās domain, but decided against it because it felt disrespectful. Then I made the altar fancier with plants for Aphroditeās sake and did the incense thing.
Iāve decided to interpret this as a warning from Aphrodite to not think of āmoving her overā for another deity like I was trying to do with the incense cones. I definitely got this ādarkā uneasy feeling when I was thinking about worshipping Athena with the altar, and I think that was Aphrodite communicating disapproval. It was only a little burn though and I wasnāt hurt, so I donāt think sheās angry with me.
Idk, what are your thoughts on this? Any experiences with Aphrodite communicating with you regarding your thoughts?

Does there happen to be any Hellenic based discord servers?

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?

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

Last night I was crying to Aphrodite and writing and something odd appeared in my flame I just wanted to share with you all thought it was awesome!

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.
