Offering to Lady Aphrodite

[devotee-of-love]

Aphrodite; Prayer to protect your heart

Blessed Aphrodite,

Goddess of Love, born of seafoam and starlight,

I come to you with an open heart,

Wounded by longing, yet still beating with hope.

Let not false love find purchase in my spirit,

Nor cold hands hold what is meant to burn with warmth.

Teach me to love without losing myself,

To give with wisdom, to receive without fear.

Guard my heart from those who would break it in carelessness,

And guide me to those who cherish with truth and tenderness.

In moments of loneliness, be my comfort.

In the storm of emotion, be my calm.

Aphrodite, divine protector of the heart,

Hear my prayer and hold me close.

May your beauty surround me, and your strength dwell within me.

Helpol Deities to honor this pride month!

Hermaphroditus:

The word "hermaphrodite" stems from their name, in which they are in fact a hermaphrodite! Many see them as the patron of trans and androgynous people!

Dionysus:

The liberator, breaker of chains! What's resonates with pride more than going against the boxes societyhas placed on us!

Also quoted from the Theoi: "Androgynos (androgynous): [A word applied to Dionysos, as one doing both active, male things and passive, female ones [in sexual intercourse]"

Eros, Aphrodite, and Hera:

The deities of love and marriage! How can you have pride without love??

Artemis:

Some people, and some ancient Greek writers, view her as Asexual! Though her virginity can also symbolize many other things, I think it's completely okay to honor her this pride as an Asexual!

Any deity that deals with masculinity or feminity:

If you are a transman/masc or a transwoman/fem, I think it would be a wonderful thing to honor gods dealing with masculinity and feminity. (Ps: There's a surprising amount of fellow queer people that villanize masculinity and feminity, so don't feel ashamed to connect with those parts of yourself, healthy masculinity and healthy feminity are beautiful!)

Any other deity who has a queer myth that you resonate with:

So many queer myths, so many to feel seen by🩷.

Happy pride y'all 🩷! (Also if any transmeds see this fuck off my post, this wasn't made for you...hoe.)

Happy Pride Month!

Praise Ganymede, Dionysus, Hermaphroditus, and Aphrodite (and more!), I thank them for my growth as a queer individual.

I'm probably going to read up on some queer history in honor of them.

Poetry to Aphrodite by Me

It's hard for me to imagine Aphrodite in my head. She is the most beautiful yet I see beauty in many things and it's hard for me to imagine a picture of beauty higher than the things I love. So I can only imagine her as a ball of glorious light composed of every vow said by a lover, every exchange of souls through lips, every naked embrace, every shared laugh, every shared pain, and every loving memory had in history. Of course Aphrodite is the most beautiful. It's because she is Love.

For Lady Selene

a night time prayer ·˚ ༘

"Selene, circle of gleaming gold, daughter of radiant-belted Helios."

O‘ starry eyed Selene

She who’s home is amidst the stars

who rides her chariot across the heavens every night.

May you, the all-seeing eye of the night, keep my family, friends and me safe.

To let us have a peace- and restful night.

O‘ daughter of Helios, I thank you for your presence.

: ̗̀➛ Quote: Euripides, Phoenicians 175 ff (Greek tragedy C5th B.C.)

In this time of need I pray.

Lord Zeus of the foreigners, god of compassion & companionship, we call humbly to you in our time of grief.

We invoke your love for humans & their kinship, & your kindness to strangers.

Bring peace & sovereignty to Gaza, land of the olive trees, & the finest of fabrics.

Bring freedom to Palestine, land of dance, of music, of sweet fruit, long oppressed.

All-Mighty father, king of all kings, all is under your will, & all is within your grasp. We pray for the people of Palestine, & for an easement to their pain.

What’s more, Thunder-Bearer, father of Far-Shooting Apollo, king of Heaven,

I pray for the migrants, the people kept unjustly in the hands of ruthless tyrants, who disrespect your law. I pray too for their freedom, for their lives to be spared, for their safety in lands unfamiliar.

& so too, I pray for the care of their souls in Olympus’ hands, if they should pass. Let them feel no pain, let their martyrdom be answered swiftly, tenfold.

Thank you, good husband of Queen Hera, father of gods, justice-bringer.
