#lady aphrodite

[myrtles-and-blood]

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

Aphrodite

[divineaphrodisianmagic]

Minoan Aphrodite <3

I drew this a month or so ago, and had to kind of work up the nerve to post it. I really like how it came out, but I am still a newbie artist and I get nervous posting my work!

I did some research into Minoan upperclass women's fashion, and what goddesses may have worn/been depicted wearing, as well as taking inspiration from direct sources! The necklaces she is wearing are direct recreations of ancient Minoan necklaces <3 By no means do I claim she is historically accurate, however, just historically close?

Anyway, here is my Minoan Aphrodite artwork <3

This list will probably be updated

Also remember that you do not need an altar to worship any deity so if you don't have the space, the money or even if it's not safe you should absolutely not feel pressured to make one and if you really want to have one there's still plenty of way for you to do it discreetly (such as digital altars or tabloid ones). The gods understand don't worry <3
