Aphrodite of the ones who failed at love

Aphrodite of the ones who failed at friendship

Aphrodite of the ones who failed trying to love others, but couldn't

Aphrodite of the ones who are alone

Aphrodite of the ones who try to be more open

Aphrodite of the ones who don't know how to talk to others, but still try every single chance they get

Aphrodite of the ones who no one likes

Aphrodite of the isolated from society

Aphrodite of the ones who choose love every single day even when they have had the worst experiences in it

Aphrodite of the ones who fucked up and are trying to do better

Aphrodite of the ones who are not loved, but will always be by Her

PSA: Aphrodite isn't just romantic love, the ancient Greeks had 7 words for love!

eros: your typical love, romance, sex, all that. typically what Aphrodite is known for.

philautia: self-love (which is SO SO important!)

storge: parental love, the bond that parents and children have with each other.

ludus: playful love - banter, teasing, flirting as a joke with your friends.

pragma: longstanding love, that is built upon trust and respect for one another. can be any type of relationship.

xenia: hospitality, a love and care for strangers and the people around you.

agape: true, unconditional love. the love everyone should aim to feel for others and to let others feel for them.

Lady Aphrodite is all of this! She tends to like hearing about relationships (in my experience), and She's always willing to lend some advice!

‘Aphrodite Being Pulled by Doves’ - Unknown Artist

[seafoamsister]

you were created out of sand from the palm of aphrodites hand. she formed your body, your soul, your life out of bits of the sea & shells. every curve, every hip dip, every dimple, & every freckle she placed upon you for the goal to show beauty in various ways. the back rolls you loathe every time you look in the mirror was once a pebble from the ocean that aphrodite saw beauty in. the mole on your cheek was once a grain of sand aphrodite walked in. you were made with honor honey, you were made with a purpose from blessed lady aphrodite. do not be harsh on yourself. love yourself, treat yourself as a sanctuary. so mote it be

The dangers of picking seashells

Most Aphrodite worshippers love the ocean for it's connection with our goddess, aswell as it's beauty and diversity and wanted to take a piece of it with us. We do this collecting shells or buying them from souvenir shops. Don’t worry, almost every person has done this at some point in their life, but it's never too late to educate yourself. Collecting shells from the ocean or beach has a severe long term impact on the environment and is our duty to protect the place were Lady Aphrodite was born.

A study in 2014 investigated the removal of seashells from beaches and concluded it’s causing significant damage to the many lifeforms that rely on shells.

Shells are homes for mollusks that carry their shell on their back throughout their lives. You might think they’re empty but most shells are alive when you pick them up. When they do empty, shells are used and reused as second hand homes by hermit crabs and are also used as hiding places by small fish. When they do disintegrate they are used by native birds to build their nest. By taking with you the sea shells you put in danger the life of these creatures.

Sea shells are also known for controlling the acidification of the ocean.

These and more are the reasons we shouldn't be picking sea shells from it's natural habitat. As someone from a country known for it's large sea coast I ask you to educate yourselves about this topic to help to protect this wonderful and beautiful enviroment.

hey lovebugs 💌

i've found that i've been a bit distracted in my worshipping, but here are some things i do often that reminds me of lady aphrodite!

♡ drinking rose tea

♡ listening to a self-love playlist when i shower

♡ wearing rose perfume

♡ wearing a necklace that i put on her altar

sometimes it gets difficult for me to do a lot to honor the gods every day, but i try to incorporate some small things :~)

May the Theoi surround you with comfort and warmth in times of hopelessness and dismal loneliness. May they always remain a friend in your corner, a gentle rhythm to your heartbeat, a surge of confidence, a bout of contagious laughter, a boundless curiosity, a passionate anger, pure joy in all its countless shapes and forms. May they embrace you in the dark and dance with you in the light.

May you never suffer, or celebrate, in the cruelty of solitude ever again.

worshipping lady aphrodite while also being aroace can be challenging sometimes, but what she has taught me is that self love is equally as important.

she helps me with loving myself and realizing i'm powerful as i am, partnered or not. she awakens my inner beauty and allows me to spread kindness to strangers and friends.

because of her i've gotten more confident in giving other people compliments, even strangers.

even if i may not feel all the romantic love, i have plenty of love to share with friends, family and strangers.

thank you, lady aphrodite. i am very grateful for you. <3

💌 poem for lady aphrodite

lady aphrodite, keeping me from harm,

a gentle presence, graceful and warm.

when she enters, a smile forms on my face,

i see her in the distance while she walks towards this place.

a beach with honey colored sand, lady aphrodite with golden hair,

she hugs me softly, knowing i'm under her care.

i am eternally grateful for your gentle and loving embrace.

you teach me to not be hard on myself, yet to push through the things that are difficult.

a mesmerizing glow surrounds you, and it encourages me to spread love and warmth.

thank you, beautiful lady aphrodite.
