Aphrodite Ourania (Heavenly)
— Hail Golden and Divine Aphrodité Protector of Lovers ⋆✴︎˚。⋆
This Valentine's day, when it is also the day of Aphrodité, i thank Her for the protection of me and my partner, for being hidden in all the beautiful moments and memories, in the flowers i always get for my love, in the sun that shines on us and in the wind that brings us together.
To love and be loved is a gift. Great Goddess Aphrodité i thank you now and forevermore for this gift. <3
"S ha szél fúj lágyan ott vagy benne, gyönyörű fény az égen ragyogsz le ránk,
galambok turbékolnak amerre jártad visz, rózsák és nárciszok közt lépdelsz egyre,
s kísér téged Eros és a szerelem illata, a szépség maga vagy, kedves és őrző Aphrodité"
(my poem)
For Aphrodite 🥀🐚✨️
Offerings to the Goddess, Aphrodite. All images in this illustration are symbols associated with the Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Grace. It is the perfect addition to an altar dedicated to her, as it depicts all her favorite things, including both traditional and modern symbols. While this piece is great for an Aphrodite altar, this can also be placed anywhere the goddess is close to you; in your bedroom, your creative work space, or near your vanity.
🪶 The Sparrow is a symbol of love and desire. These little birds also pull Aphrodite’s chariot.
🍎 The Apple in traditional witchcrafts are a symbol of love and magic. Aphrodite was gifted a golden apple by Paris of Troy.
🌸 The Myrtle is a flower of love that was said to be planted at her temples. Aphrodite is also depicted holding Myrtle or wearing a crown of Myrtle.
🕊️ The Dove is another bird said to draw Aphrodite’s chariot. Doves have long been associated with love, peace, amd marriage.
🌊 The Sea Foam is from where Aphrodite herself was born. When the titan of the sky, Uranus, was castrated and his member thrown into the sea, Aphrodite rose from the foam, a figure born from the merging of sky and ocean.
🐚 The Shells. Aphrodite rode from the sea and onto the shores of Cyprus inside a giant scallop shell. Nearly anything born from the sea is sacred to Aphrodite.
🪞 The Mirror is suitable for the goddess of beauty. Aphrodite is often depicted holding or backing into a mirror. Mirrors can be decorations on her altar or the altar itself and can be used in glamour and beauty magic.
🦪 The Pearls are born from the sea like the goddess herself. Pearls are also said to be a stone of love.
🌹 The Rose is the ultimate symbol of love and adoration, especially red roses. Roses make wonderful offerings to the goddess. Roses grew from the ground where the hero Adonis lay dying, and as Aphrodite rushed to his side, she cut her feet on the thorn and her blood forever bushed the roses red.
🦢 The Swan. While swans are also sacred to Apollo, Aphrodite is often depicted riding a swan or goose. Swans today are symbols of love, companionship, beauty, and grace.

E-Offering to Lady Aphrodite
[33] Of these three Aphrodite cannot bend or ensnare the hearts. But of all others there is nothing among the blessed gods or among mortal men that has escaped Aphrodite.
Homeric Hymn, translated by H.G.Evelyn-White.

Happy Venus Day, Aphrodite. 💖 I visited a beautiful beach while on holiday and took the chance to make some tiny offerings to our radiant lady Aphrodite. I hope she likes them.

A Prayer of Gratitude to Aphrodite
Radiant Aphrodite,
Goddess of love, beauty, and grace,
With a heart full of wonder, I offer You thanks.
For the sweetness of affection,
For the softness of a smile,
For every warm moment You lay upon my life like petals on still water.
You, who stir the heart and awaken the soul
Who teach us to see beauty not only in others but within ourselves
May my words reach You like perfume on the wind.
Thank You for the love that grows quietly in unexpected places,
For the joy that glimmers in simple pleasures,
And for the courage to open my heart again and again.
Lady of the seafoam and the rose,
I honor You not only in longing, but in gratitude.
May each day be a quiet hymn to Your name.
Blessed be, Aphrodite.
Ever beloved. Ever near.
