Hail Apollo;
God before whom princes and poets kneel.
I have no words to describe how beautiful you are and how beautiful my life is because of you. Every day, I am blessed by you. Thank you for gifting me with your patronage and your love, and I pray that my love for you is known in return.

Veela (or Vila in Serbian, Wiła in Polish) is a magical creature whose infinite beauty inspired many poems, novels, and movies. According to the legends, the beauty of their bodies, magical dances, and lovely voices is beyond the mortal’s imagination.
These mysterious beings are not exclusively part of Slavic mythologies. The fact that Veelas dwell in Slavic legends as well as in Nordic and ancient myths, demonstrates the archaic origins of these delicate creatures. Even though they are seductive and graceful, Veela are passionate warriors as well. Veela usually likes people who fight for a righteous cause. In Serbian epic poems, you will see them helping the heroes with their prophetic and healing powers.
The favorite activity of Veela is dance. Sometimes people explained circular shapes of darker grass in the fields as being trodden by fairies dancing during the night. Stepping into this place was considered the cause of insanity.

Parisa Kamali: Telepath
“It would fit the archetype of her. Seduce and destroy. The world was filled with poets who thought that a woman’s love had unmade them.”

💗Lovely offerings to Aphrodite💗
Roses: all roses are sacred to Her.
Dark chocolates: known to be an aphrodisiac
Vanilla: organic is best
Sweet fruits: especially apples
Seashells: of all kinds
Sand: collected from the beach if possible
Seawater: if you don’t live near the ocean, make your own saltwater for Her
Olive oil: olive oil is liked by many deities
Golden honey: honey is another liked gift by many gods
Sweet perfumes: offer Her the whole bottle or wear some as a devotional act
Poems and hymns: make them about Her or about someone you love
💗Sweet devotional acts💗
Practice self-care and self-love
Feeding birds, bees, and fish and taking care of nature
Dancing
Enjoying the beauty of the world
Masturbate in Her name if you feel comfortable doing so
Music, either your own or a playlist that reminds you of Her
Remember to tell the ones you are close to your love
Do a little extra for yourself - a spa day, new clothes, go a little extra on your makeup even if it is just a normal day for you, etc.
💗Cute altar ideas💗
An altar to Aphrodite should be as beautiful as you can make it. Decorate it with ocean motifs, roses (real or fake), flower garlands, nods to Her sacred animals (doves, swans, dolphins,) art of Her or erotica, rose quartz, pearls, and bright colors that capture feelings of love and the sea. An altar beside a window, on a windowsill, a vanity stand, or somewhere with a mirror. If you need to keep it secret or wish to keep a travel altar, try to keep her altar in a pretty box adorned with floral or sea decorations or something like a makeup pouch.
Having an outdoor garden altar is also a perfect option for Her - make it bird and bee friendly, use organic products (ones without pesticides) on your plants, have bird-feeders around, and have a little place where you can safely light a candle or incense for Her along with an offering bowl and a place for you to sit and enjoy the beauty she brings to you.
