akasha

southern swamp witch • 🏳️‍⚧️ • 21 • aphrodite devotee • ishtar worship

[progenitrix]

gonna start posting here because @olympianbutch left tik tok and im getting much deeper into my practices, so I want to post here more

hii im Akasha, im 21, im a folk practitioner particularly (extremely) syncretic. the core of my practice is Aphrodite (i like to say that if i was born in ancient times I would’ve been cleaning her statues and temples).

im a sapphic trans woman from rural florida, and im a singer-songwriter, writer, occasional artist, archaeology enthusiast, and someone who really is kind of obsessive about the ocean. i self describe myself as a southern folk practitioner with an emphasis on Mary Magdalene and Yeshua. I syncretize them respectively with Aphrodite and Adonis, Inanna and Dumuzid. Canaanite, Egyptian, Hellenic and Mesopotamian polytheism influences my beliefs greatly, along with animism and swamp and ocean witchcraft. I have been worshipping Aphrodite since i was 14-15.

I have quite a bit of experience with southern folk magic and it’s predominantly an ancestral thing. Im white of mostly Scottish, German, African-American and Romani (Manush and Welsh Kale) descent. Im currently trying to connect with the Seminole tribe in my area to learn better on how to connect with and respect the land i live on.

This is absolutely not a safe space for any kind of bullshittery. Do not come at me with bullshit, do not talk to me about bullshit, do not try and bring me into bullshit! I am alright with asks, but please do be respectful loves.

goddesses i worship

aphrodite

asherah

hathor

sekhmet

inanna-ishtar

anat

isis

i predominantly focus on aphrodite, so i feel confident discussing her. the other goddesses are more recent additions to my worship and while i will be happy to talk to other devotees - i really only feel comfortable giving advice on aphrodite worship.

thank you! :]

[lurkerofshadows5678]

piss on the poor radfems strikes again i see

funny, i thought trans men aren't opressed enough for you lot

[progenitrix]

they are literally discussing raping and abusing trans women in this and that they think trans men are too ugly to them to do that to. and ur making it about transmisandry

[bigthecatgirl]

trans women getting called men but being raped and trafficked to straight men, our bodies a novelty treat for men to try out like sex toys, something to make the people who already run the world feel that extra bit of power they need to get off

trans men getting their bodies called unattractive by straight men... who don't find men's bodies attractive lol

as always in obvious cases of trans women being treated like extra exploitable women and trans men being treated as harmless men, we must only think of how this makes the men feel

I also wanted to highlight the cave hyenas from yesterday’s picture. Their spots are inspired by the Chauvet cave painting that is believed to depict a hyena.

𒀭𒈹, The Queen of Heaven

"She stirs confusion and chaos against those who are disobedient to her, speeding carnage and inciting the devastating flood, clothed in terrifying radiance. It is her game to speed conflict and battle, untiring, strapping on her sandals."

[progenitrix]

oh lady aphrodite

the copper haired Kyprian, born of sea foam and of golden eyes

crashing, blood and pleasure streaked foam coalesced into you

from abalone walls and salt caked barnacles, She emerged

goddess of love, of war, of sex, of connection, of beauty and pleasure yourself.

queen of heaven, war-like, grave-digging, the killer of men, she who dyes her fingertips not in henna, but blood and oil of coriander and almonds

she who gouges out men’s hearts and eats their corpses as a lioness

she who reared the myrrhed one pon her own father

she who wraps herself in jasmine, frankincense, rose, sea salt, pistachios and dates.

I cherish you, beautifier, please - nourish me with your life, your bronzed skin, your dangling coral

grace me with your presence,

laughter-loving Aphrodite.

Anyways, enjoy my probably terrible rant about Aphrodite and her connection to Girlhood and that great feeling of childhood innocence!

(Yes I should be asleep, how did you guess?)

The first time I saw this, I didn't think much about it I see a lot of this on my Pinterest regularly. But I stumbled upon this again while working on something else and it really resonates with me.

Probably, because yeah, I relate to this. I went through puberty very, very young and I didn't know what was happening and it wasn't explained until those awkward talks at school did I actually learn what was happening.

And every day since I actually became aware I'm growing up, I've wished I could go back. I still do. I wish I could be a little girl again, but I can't, I don't have the option to go back. I can do things, that make me feel like a little girl again but I will never be a little girl again.

I think this is something every girl can relate to, growing up too fast. We were always expected to grow up fast and be the mature ones at school,

"Girls mature faster then boys."

It's not just a coincidence or a random thing people say, we do because it's expected of us. Girls are expected to be responsible somewhere around elementary school, boys don't have to care until middle school, because that's the appropriate time to grow up.

I think this entire thing allows girls to connect with Lady Aphrodite. She probably understands, growing up too fast, being forced to take on the weight. Struggling with a new changing body, a new world, eyes staring from every corner, aware, and unable to be a little girl again.

She understands that struggle, she understands that we can't go back to being little girls, but she wants you to help feel like a little girl again. She gives you the feeling again.

When you find a cute stuffed animal, when you do a new makeup look for fun, when you rediscover a picture book you used to love, when you play in the bath... Anything that makes you feel like a little girl again.

She's there and she understands

She loves when you feel that childhood innocence again, when you experience childhood joy again, when you go back to that feeling of innocence, that's what she loves!

Sorry this was so long, I should be asleep but this just made me so passionate that I felt like I needed to type this up now. So anyway what do you guys think about this? Also please remember this is my personal interpretation based off of the photo at the top.
