i've put a lot of effort into being a kinder and more outgoing person that i like more, and i feel a little more pretty and desirable now- thank you to lady aphrodite for supporting my self improvement process.

[rosaceaealba]

ever since i started to worship lady aphrodite, i started to see the beauty in myself, in others, and in the world around me. i started to love myself, the people in my life, and love—in all it's forms.

thank you Dionysus

for reigniting my passions for helping me realize my gender for introducing me to trancework for helping me get over old hangups for being someone I can cry to for helping me face my fears for pushing me out of my comfort zone (even when it was scary) for helping me see the beauty in others for helping me see the beauty within myself

Dionysus capsized the ship of those who wished to harm him. Dionysus beheaded a man for doubting him. My rage at what I know is wrong is not what separates me from him, it is what connects me to him.

Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 3. 31 :

“Διόνυσος δέ εύρετής άμπέλον γενόμενος”

"Dionysos was the discoverer of the grapevine."

Offering to Lord Dionysus

My friends are currently in their school's production of Into The Woods and I'm going to see it Thursday.

And I have another (Much) younger friend who is in their school's production of the Jungle book. It's her first play (and in my opinion considering the fact they're only gonna have three rehearsals before the actual show, it's probably gonna be questionable, not to shame the kids but it is a lot of their first times in a play and takes longer then three practices to learn the play.) So I've volunteered to help her with lines.

E-offering for Lady Aphrodite🌹

Offering to Lady Aphrodite

It's Friday, her day, and I always feel so connected to her today.

[rosaceaealba]

Aphrodite; clear and open communication

O Aphrodite,

Grant us the gift of clear and open communication,

That our words may always carry love, truth, and understanding.

Help us to speak with honesty and kindness,

And to listen with empathy and patience.

May our conversations be free of misunderstandings,

Filled with the clarity that strengthens our bond.

Bless us with the wisdom to express our hearts,

To share our desires, fears, and dreams,

Without hesitation or fear of judgment,

Knowing that with each word, our love grows deeper.

May our words be a reflection of the beauty we share,

And may they always bring us closer to one another.

[rosaceaealba]

Btw, did you know Dionysus loves you? He asked me to remind you in case you forgot.

Digital Offerings to Lady Hestia

O Sweet Lady,

Please doth pay an ear,

For, like all mortals I fear,

Limited is my time.

However I thirst for a life of solitude and peace-

Where worries shan't be borne in this earthly mud.

I wish no more than the urge to know. To learn.

To feel. To consume the depths of knowledge itself.

Pinnacle is not my ask, Lady.

Knowledge and Wisdom is what my soul seeks.

For it thrives in experience- for it lives to be amazed by what is to unfold.

May my words never be bouldered in life's stream.

May my fingers never refuse to turn the pages of the book.

Never shall my mind be incurious.

And as I bask in the peace of my room,

May my thirst to discover be quenched.

Never shall I be foreign to this urge.

For in the solitude of my room, I can see worlds.

And in the embrace of slumber,

I become one with the Gods.

[rosaceaealba]

Dionysus Eubouleus, help me to hold my grief

in your eyes may I find knowing

in your cup may I find a place for my tears

in your heart may I find deliverance
