oh to be a nameless enchantress in 18th century France calmly walking away from the absolute havoc I discreetly caused in a quaint countryside town

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!

This sounds like a shitpost but people should be allowed to be horny. As in, sexuality is just part of life for most people and there’s no reason for consensual sexual behavior to be punished. A celebrity getting “caught” at a sex club shouldn’t be a scandal. No one should be fired for having a fetlife profile outside of work. Nudes getting leaked shouldn’t be career-ending. Denying and hiding (consensual) sexual interests doesn’t make anyone more professional, it just makes everyone more repressed. And sterilizing ourselves to be better work drones isn’t productive, it’s just creepy. I’d rather my surgeon get absolutely railed on camera and come to work in a good mood, frankly.

I've studied basic witchcraft, Hoodoo, and Heka as well as the general anthropology behind magic development in Western nations. One of the biggest reassurances that magic is real has been the fact that, regardless of where it originates, it requires:

Intention (what do you want to have happen?)

Direction (where do you want the energy to go?)

Materials (what do you want to use raise energy?)

European nations arrived to this conclusion. The Egyptians arrived to this conclusion. Enslaved Africans arrived to this conclusion.

And, sure, forces are more intertwined than we think. Chances are they were all inspired by one another somehow. But they all reached similar conclusions that we can manipulate the fates of the world through a few common steps.

Isn't that cool?
