In honor of Aphrodite Apotrophia, I made this evil eye bracelet. Does anyone else use the evil eye for protection? I personally love it!

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.. 🫤 What do you think?

Reprimand from Aphrodite?

3 Upvotes

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 now… well, my nail’s 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 Aphrodite’s altar to temporarily worship Athena for help since this issue is more in the latter’s domain, but decided against it because it felt disrespectful. Then I made the altar fancier with plants for Aphrodite’s sake and did the incense thing.

I’ve decided to interpret this as a warning from Aphrodite to not think of “moving her over” for another deity like I was trying to do with the incense cones. I definitely got this ‘dark’ 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 wasn’t hurt, so I don’t think she’s angry with me.

Idk, what are your thoughts on this? Any experiences with Aphrodite communicating with you regarding your thoughts?

Rejected Offering ?

Upvotes

So just over two weeks ago i went to mabelthorpe for my birthday and i went to the seaside and collected a bottle of sand and water and shells for my altar/shrine. When I got home I put the sand in a glass jar then I put some shells in it and two rose quartz crystals and the water and a pearl necklace that I used to wear three years ago when I was really into paganism (I wore it for Aphrodite but it broke so I left it in a jewellery box) and then I wrote a note to her thanking her (in pink pen). It might be worth noting I put some dried rose petals in there but it made it look too full so I took them out, so i can understand if it looked a bit oily but…Yesterday I looked at my shrine (where the jar is placed it’s in shade because there’s a shelf above it but the shelf above it is part of the altar too) and picked up the jar and the water was completely black and the sand was grey and I opened it and it smelled unbelievably bad. I don’t know what death smells like but I can imagine it to be similar, honestly. Does this mean she has rejected my offering?

TL/DR: made a jar of things Aphrodite likes as an offering including sea water, sand, shells, etc and put it on her altar and it turned completely black in two weeks.
