a while back i saw a prayer to Aphrodite that started with “Hail, Paphian goddess” and i prayed it on a day when i was struggling with really severe anxiety. something that was practically a miracle of sorts (and very directly related to Aphrodite) happened like an hour or two after so since then i’ve always loved that phrase ;w;

'Sup! My name's Iris and I'm a follower of Iris, how are ya? I've been considering following Aphrodite more specifically - what's it like under her wing?

im so sorry this is really late!! i’m mostly mobile-based so i totally didnt see this ;; and omg that’s so fun to be named iris and be following Iris!! i love Iris so much, since so much of my life as an artist + being in subculture fashion revolves around color <3 

being under Aphrodite’s wing is honestly such a TIME. she loves hearing gossip. she’ll see something and want it and will mentally poke you like “get this get this hey get this” (aka ive spent more on my shrine than i should but its really pretty so oh well lmao.) she’s bubbly and full of love, both self love and love for others, and wants to share it with her followers. myself and a lot of other Aphrodite devotees, ive noticed, kinda refer to her as a goddess mom haha ;w; i’ve noticed she also likes when i pray in french over english, being the language of love– i dont think it matters either way, because she’ll understand it in whatever language, but i figure she just enjoys french. i have a tattoo of her under my breasts (which is totally not required of a devotee but i love tattoos and i wanted her image on me both out of devotion and aesthetic purposes bc she pretty) and she was like YESSS I LOVE IT

she’s very good at giving you the advice you NEED, but not always the advice you WANT. i prayed to her for advice on what to do with a 2+ year relationship and it crushed me when i got very strong feelings she wanted me to end it. but now that i’ve ended it, i’ve realized just how unhappy and unhealthy that relationship was, and now i’m free to go find a girlfriend who will treat me better. so it wasn’t at all what i wanted to hear at the time but now that i’ve followed what she said, it worked out so so much for the better.

she can be kind of persnickety, but she also has a lot of love and forgiveness from my experience. i had to temporarily deconstruct my shrine for safety purposes and put it in storage when i left college to go home for the summer, and i was suuper nervous about it. i prayed constantly saying i’m so sorry i have to take it down, i have no choice, i’m really sorry. but every sign pointed to her being completely okay with it since it was for my safety. 

overall i really love being a devotee of Aphrodite! she’s wonderful and caring and beautiful and she loves us like we love her c:
