🌊 Subtle Aphrodite Worship 🦪
Make your body wash/shampoo/conditioner rose scented
Have a rose or sweet scented candle that you light (doesn't have to be on an altar)
Create a skin/body care routine
Have perfume/cologne that you dedicate to her
Wear jewelry that reminds you of her
Carry a pocket charm that reminds you of her (dove works well in a Christian household and is a sacred animal of hers)
Keep a small picture of her in your wallet
Have a dove or swan stuffed animal
Have imagery of beaches, seafoam, seashells (especially clams), wings, hearts, swans, pearls, or doves around
Wear a locket with a picture of someone you love or of her
Give compliments to strangers
Drink water regularly and dedicate a glass of it to her
Collect seashells (if possible)
Collect things you simply find pretty
Plan your outfits/wear clothes that make you feel good
Keep a journal of poetry dedicated to Aphrodite and love-related topics; can also be a general positivity journal or diary (maybe a diary in a way of writing letters to her but saying a code name instead of "Aphrodite")
Keep heart-shaped imagery around
Embrace yourself; give yourself love
Forgive yourself of past mistakes
Give yourself compliments; start small if needed; I recommend doing this in a mirror
Pin up pictures of loved ones on a mirror or wall
If possible, burn some incense in honor of her; strawberry always has a great smell to it
Watch a love-focused movie (romantic or platonic)
Listen to or read stories about acts of kindness and love
Paint your nails or wear make-up (if you enjoy those things and are able to)
Listen to music that makes you feel good; dance to it like nobody's watching!
Have a party where you and your friends create drawings, items, or crafts that you can decorate your rooms with c:
Start a flower garden, especially with roses; tend to a plant
Practice compassion, especially towards yourself
Fall asleep/meditate to the sound of ocean waves or singing birds
Listen to/sing love songs!
Spend time with loved ones
Have a friend's night; go out on the town together, watch movies, go camping, etc.
Spend time with your pets
Take a shower/bath, especially with rose petals and candles (SAFELY!!!!)
Visit a nearby ocean or body of water; stand in the water (if safe) and ground yourself there
Write about your crushes
Make a list of qualities you'd like in a partner; make a list of qualities you don't want (like green flags and flags)
Take a walk alongside a beach/body of water
Take care of your personal hygiene

I may add more to this later, but here is my list of subtle ways to worship Aphrodite so far! Worship can absolutely be discreet, and if it needs to be for safety or the like, know that the gods will almost certainly understand. Take care, y'all! 🩷

How I carry Aphrodite with me
I often find that carrying something that reminds me of Her helps me throughout the day, whether to pray to Her, show appreciation, or just have Her with me.
Here are some of the things I do:
Carry a shell
Carry a heart-shaped crystal
Wear my shell necklace
Carry or wear my string of shells (I made to help me focus during mediation)
Any piece of jewelry that I feel has a connection to Her (I have a turquoise and gold one that I absolutely love to wear for Her)
Cute outfits
Makeup
Wear my veil
These are just a few of the things that I do to feel closer to Aphrodite!
Please feel free to ask any questions!

Relief of Aphrodite of Aphrodisias, Turkey
Aphrodite of Aphrodisias is a local cult name for Aphrodite as worshipped at the site of Ancient Aphrodisias, cultural region of Western Anatolia, Turkey. The city, part of the Roman province of Caria, first belonged to Romans, then Greeks, and, in the 7th century AD, suffered from an earthquake it did not manage to fully recover from.
According to Byzanthine historians, before the city became known as Aphrodisias it bore three names: Ninóē, Μεγάλη Πόλις, and Λελέγων πόλις.
The first sanctuary to the Goddess at the site dates back to the pre-Hellenistic era (7th century BCE). The oldest archeological findings point out that the site had been a sacred place of a local fertility Goddess. It is possible that the initial Deity was either Ishtar or heavily influenced by the cult of Ishtar.
After the official establishment of the new temple sponsored by Zolios (1st century BCE), the site was made into an asylum; pilgrimage grew. The Greek sculptors erected a new statue to replace the Ancient Assyrian one that no longer fit the temple. They did attempt to preserve the traits of the Ancient Goddess, applying them to Aphrodite:
The statue stands stiffly and frontally, like an old Anatolian goddess. She wears a tall headdress, a veil and a thin dress covered by thick hard cladding. Each of the four zones of the dress contain decoration that concerns different aspects of Aphrodite: (1) three Graces, her handmaids; (2) Selene (Moon) and Helios (Sun), the permanent temporal extent of her realm; (3) Aphrodite in classical form on a sea-goat with tritons; (4) three winged Erotes, her children and agents, involved in sacrifice.
The iconography of the statue was designed to combine the archaic aspects of the old local Goddess with ideas of the Classical and Hellenistic Aphrodite.

Each day I am reminded of her beauty, her grace, her gifts. A brilliant war strategist, a savior of the pregnant, and a holy mother to us all. Only my sweet Aphrodite could hear my prayers and answer them swiftly. Only she could hear my calls of love and worship.
