Hiii, I just wanted to say that I love your page so much and how in depth you explain things <3
I've been obsessed with Greek mythology for some time now and last week I discovered that they actually exist and that people worship them. You can imagine my excitement hahshah. So, I felt drawn to mostly Apollo and Aphrodite but I'm working more with Apollo. So far he's helped me sooo much already and he's always there when I call him for help or just to vent. And even though I can feel his presence and I've seen some signs I've been an atheist for my whole life and it's just so strange for me to just sit alone in my room talking to the air (as I said even though I feel like he's listening to me) or offering something and just leaving it there. I'll probably get used to it but I don't know if you could give me some advice. Oh and also what are some ways I can communicate with Apollo (or deities in general) ?? Because I just talk to them and id like to receive a response I can understand or like ask more specific questions if that makes sense??
Anyways sorry for the long message and thank you for your time 💖
Hey hi!!! Don't worry about the long message. I love getting asks!! Also, thank you so so much 🥺 I'm glad you enjoy my page!
I totally get the excitement you're feeling; I felt a similar way, although my progress was slow to get to where I am now. Finding out that these deities truly are there, and that they listen, is something so surreal! It still fills me with amazement, even though I've been practicing for a while.
Feeling awkward when you start out with prayer and offerings is a totally normal experience. I felt that way for a long time; the number one tip I'd have for you is to find something that represents the deity you're talking to. Whether it be a candle dedicated to them (LED or otherwise), a statue, a picture, or even just a random object, this can help a lot with materializing your deity. By that, I mean that it's easier to communicate when you have something to look at visually. My favorite way to do this is with a candle; the way the flame moves can sometimes indicate a response from said deity. However, I don't always light my candles; talking to deities comes easier with time and dedication.
Another tip I'd have for this "issue" is to use a specific posture/stance to pray (especially if you cant use physical objects). I used to be Christian, and during those types of prayers, you'd typically press your hands together in some way and bow your head. However, when worshipping greek deities, there are two most common ways to hold yourself.
For deities that remain in the sky/Mount Olympus, you would stand with your arms stretched out, palms facing up. For deities in the underworld, you would get on your knees and place your hands on the ground. For me, the posture on the ground isn't possible right now (knee surgery things), so I just look at the ground and face my palms down.
Those two tips seemed to be what helped a lot with prayer. For offerings, I tend to leave them for an hour or two and then throw them away (my family doesn't like when it's overnight). You can also do devotional acts for offering, such as self care, listening to a music playlist you make the deity, making a pinterest board, etc. This makes offerings a lot less daunting for me. One time, I held a dance party for Apollo! We had fun.
In terms of communication, other than talking directly, there are a few ways you can send a message. The first method I like to use is to meditate. You don't have to talk; you can say your question out loud or think it. Try to just keep the question in mind, and the first thought/answer you have is typically what the deity would respond with (in my experience).
Another method I use is automatic writing! This is where you close your eyes and write whatever comes to mind. You can ask a specific deity to send you a message if you'd like. It's sort of like meditation, but physically, if you get what I mean.
Sometimes, to get a response, you might want to ask for a sign. For example, "If I need to do A, I'll see a crow; if I need to do B, I'll see a duck." Choose things that are common in your area. The first one you see is your answer!
Aside from that, you can always use pendulums (or even a necklace as a makeshift pendulum), tarot cards, and any other divination tool.
I apologize for the long response, and I hope this helped!!!! 🫶🫶🫶

♡ I am a semi-baby witch, meaning I am not completely new, but I'm still learning ♡ I'm an aphrodite devotee. I don't work with her. I only worship her, but I'd love to work with her in the future. ♡ The main types of witchcraft I'm interested in are glamour and divination (I also want to get into lunar magick). However, I'm interested in all types at least a little. ♡ I'm a cancer sun, a scorpio moon, and a taurus rising ☆ ♡ Also, as a disclaimer, I'm a teen girl (so creeps beware) ♡ My blog will mostly be witchy tips and aesthetics, and I'll likely post about my craft as well ♡♡♡

communication sessions with deities can be very intense, especially if they’re revealing a message which you’re unsure about. emotions surfacing is completely normal & a beautiful sign that things are working as they’re meant to.

How to begin working with deities
I have an ask about this so it seems the time to create a post so I can ramble on at length.
Before you begin, I want you to consider your purpose in working with deities because that can help guide your approach. But let's start with a general, overall approach.
The easiest way to do this is to simply begin. Research and read about the deities you are interested. Perhaps make offerings or create a shrine. What you are looking to do at this point is just establish and build a relationship. As you learn more about the deities and what they relate to, you can include them in that part of your life. Talk to Aphrodite when you put on makeup. Play music for Apollo. Have a tea party and just invite a deity and talk to them about things.
While certain deities are deeply connected with divination, I'm not really in favor of a lot of the use of pendulums and tarot cards to communicate - unless you have a specific issue that you need to do divination around. I feel like there is a fine line between freely offering conversation, which can include things like "things are going really well, thanks for helping out with that" and asking for work on their end.
Keep building that relationship and keep an eye out for indications of where it should go next.
Now for some specifics
If you are exploring Wiccan style ritual, you will need to work with a deity to represent the god and another for the goddess*. You'll want to find 2 deities you can work with in this manner and then obtain something to represent them on the altar and usually write specifical calls to request their presence in ritual. (*It may not be necessary for the deities themselves to be male/female. They just need to be able to represent a god/goddess dynamic. But that is probably a debate for another time.)
If you are exploring a form of reconstructionism or a specific tradition, you will want to work with deities directly connected to that tradition, which may mean finding ways to honor a pantheon. In this case, you probably won't develop as strong a connection with each deity but may find that one or two come forward more for you.
If you are looking for a deity to offer more support in your life, you may be looking for a patron deity. In this case, it is critical to consider how you and that deity will work together and to choose wisely. Often one has done the work above for years before moving to this stage. There are many stories of people who have found their lives turned upside down and themselves in new careers / relationships /countries after making this choice.
Also - the deity is not angry with you. A few years ago, it seemed to be a big thing on Witchtok to do "my deity is upset with me" videos. A deity isn't going to get angry and plot revenge because you offered the wrong sort of cookie or forgot an important day. It can be important to consider the difference between "good content" and "good information."

What my magick looks like
Hi,
my name is Shi and I am an eclectic witch based primarily in chaos magick. I am 20 yrs old and I go by he/him and they/them. I’m a Gemini Sun, Ascendant Libra, and Gemini Moon.
(Mercury in ♉️, Venus in ♉️, Mars in ♒️, Jupiter in ♌️, Saturn in ♊️, Uranus in ♓️, Neptune in ♒️, Plato in ♐️)
I have been seriously practising for seven or so years now. My craft is a amalgamation of a bunch of different things, and I am constantly growing and expanding my worldview in my studies. My magic is inspired by my love of angelology, demonology, mysticism, occultism, and ancient mythology. I am a deeply eclectic witch.
I currently work with a handful of spirits, some of which may or may not be named on this Tumblr page. 
My patron saints are currently Archangels Jophiel and Haniel, while my patron infernal is Father Lucifer of Venus the Morningstar, Eosphorus, Hesperus and Helel 🔱 along with Mother Astaroth and Astarte 🌹. Azazel 🔥 is among my kin.
I am the soul child of the Goddess Inanna ✴️, Lady Aphrodite 💖, Lady Isis 🦂, Lord Mercury ♊️, Lord Thoth🔮🌙, The Sun God ☀️, and the Horned Father God 🐐 ♉️, in their many forms and faces.
I give glory to Mother Lilith 🌑, Goddess Hekate⚱️, Lady Death, and Mother Earth 🏔 . I am in the process of initiation with Prince Cerbere, Lord Leviathan 🐉 and the spirits of draconian magic.
I am a walker of the Sephiroth and the Qliphoth, I work both with angelic and infernal spirits. I am working to understand and balance both aspects of divinity. (Though I am not yet fully initiated)
I am mainly involved with spiritual growth and practical magic. 
I am most talented with sigil work and scrying, though I also love tarot and pendulum magick.
On this page I hope to explore more my craft and make some witchy friends! Might share some ritual reports and UPGS, as well as some prayers and other stuff!
I am always down to talk about angels, demons, old gods, ghosts, crystals, cryptids etc. 🖤
Thanks for stopping by, and blessed be. ✴️

Heya :) it's been a while!
Hi, my name is Dolly (she/her) and I've had this blog for quite some time! In the past I've done things like open up free readings, or create discord servers as a way to feel a sense of community, but this time around I think I'm okay with just being here instead of seeking attention and validation. A new era of this blog marks my first steps toward ACTUAL self-discovery and growth.
This was initially a side blog but now it's the main one I use. But since it's technically a side blog, if you see any likes/follows from @ibitch-plus that's me lol!
I just thought I'd make a pinned post sharing a little about myself, and I'll try to keep it brief but I'm bad at that.
The direction this blog is going to be going is ideally going to be personal, intimate, focused on my own growth as a person, and focused on my growth in my practice. I plan on being vulnerable and fairly open but not to the point where it's a burden on followers. I just want this to become a safe space for myself and others to share if they have been feeling like they're lacking in personal growth/their practice. You're not alone! And you're welcome to follow me and join me on my journey to help inspire your own journey!
I'm 23, I'm a Virgo sun, Gemini moon, Gemini rising, and I have an air dominant chart with a Gemini stellium!
While I do love witchy aesthetics, my witchy blog has always been more dedicated to research, resources, and text posts along with my own personal photos, anecdotes, spells, and journey.
My witchy interests include:
Tarot
Herbalism
Botany
Kitchen Witchery
Astrology
The Moon
Sigils
Glamour Magic
Low effort Witchcraft
Natural products (making my own salves, tinctures, balms, etc!)
Aphrodite
All Greek pantheon, honestly
Spirits/Entities/Demons/Deities of all kinds
Crystals
Pendulums, and most other forms of divination
Mixology
Probably so many more but I can't think of any more specific ones!
My non witchy interests include:
Video games! Mostly Nintendo Switch gaming and cozy games but I play a lot of stuff on PC and some on other consoles, too!
Cartoons! Kids cartoons, adult cartoons, anime. I just like it better when it doesn't have real people in it. I love Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, recently been into Bob's Burgers, I'm just a big cartoon fan!
Cats! I have 2 boy kitties, a little black one and a big ol' orange dude. They're my favorite, and I love pretty much all cats in general.
Piercings and tattoos! I work in a tattoo shop, currently working on my piercing apprenticeship!
Mixology! Again, lol! I find the art of making and creating cocktails to be very witchy, but also just super fun in non-witchy ways.
Fashion! I love clothes and shoes, and I can never stick to one aesthetic
Pool! Like, as in billiards! Super random but it's fun and I've gotten a lot better over the past couple years!
Pretty much any hobby ever! Soap making, candle making, baking, embroidery, hand sewing, cosmetic making, jewelry making, singing, makeup, playing instruments, I just love to do it all.
Okay that's enough about me, like I said I'm bad at keeping it brief but there ya go! Can't wait to get back into the community. <3

Hermes & Aphrodite Reading Confirmation
I decided to put up my tarot deck since I just went to the bookstore and bought a little guide on how to learn tarot more efficiently. At first, I thought it was Zeus or Ares reaching out. But it turns out to be Hermes & Aphrodite! They want to work with me! I also used my pendulum to confirm if it was them.
I am not working with Athena or Ares, as previously mentioned. Now, I will be working with Aphrodite & Hermes. Please feel free to send in some advice, especially if you work with either one. I would always appreciate any advice and tips.

Hey, I'm new to this all and your blog has been really helpful, but I was wondering if I could ask how you know what offerings your deities like and what they don't ? I want to make sure I'm making offerings they'll like, but I don't know how to tell if they do, thank you, I hope you're having a good day !! :)))
very good question! really glad my blog has been helpful so far
when i first started out with deity worship, i did a lot of research on my deities, and most of that research led me here on tumblr. If you have more well known deities like Aphrodite, Loki, Apollo, etc you can search up that specific deity and offerings, those are often very reliable
but if you want to offer something to a deity that isn’t exactly on that list, the best thing you can do is ask
any method of communication is fine like tarot, pendulums, or candle readings
just simply ask if they would want a specific offering and based on their answer, you can give it to them or not
for example with Freyja, i had wanted to give her something very specific which were some really nice lemon earrings. i had asked her via pendulum and she said that she liked them and wanted them. so i put them on her altar and that was that
i hope that this somehow?? helped
if you have anymore questions please know that my dms are always always open and i always try to respond as quickly as possible

Who is Jennifer “Genevieve” Nicole Padalecki an Incarnation of?
Hello, my name is Ellie. I am a psychic who mostly does pendulum divination work and get messages from various deities, faye and other benevolent beings. I always ask all guides to prove they are who they say they are and also ask to provide ways to show it is them speaking and not an imposter. In this post, I’m going to reveal who Jennifer “Genevieve” Padalecki is an incarnation of.
Jennifer “Genevieve” Nicole Padalecki (Née Cortese) was born on January 8, 1981 in San Francisco, California. Around the age of 13 she moved to Montana and eventually Sun Valley, Idaho. Although it’s a widely known fact she met her husband Jared Padalecki on the set of the television show “Supernatural” where she portrayed the demon Ruby, she also did some stage plays including “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, “Crimes of the Heart”, and “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”. She also was in the 2007 movie “Salted Nuts” as Jen, the 2004 movie “Death Valley” as Amber, 2005 movie “Kids in America” as Ashley Harris, 2012 movie “Hated” as Veronica, as well as a couple other TV shows including “Wildfire” (2005-2008) as the main character Kris Furillo and recurring character Emily Walker on the show “Walker” (2021 and ongoing).
Tumblr media
So who is Jennifer “Genevieve” Padalecki an incarnation of? Gen is an incarnation of the Greek deity Aphrodite aka Venus in the Roman pantheon. If you haven’t done so already, please read other posts of mine where I discuss things like how incarnations work, so this post makes better sense and other posts like this where I discuss who is an incarnation of who and such.
Aphrodite/Venus in Mythology
Aphrodite in Greek mythology is often portrayed as a beautiful woman that’s sometimes accompanied by Eros the god of lust and sexual desire. She is the Greek goddess associated with love, lust, beauty, passion, and procreation. She was said to be the patron goddess of prostitutes. It’s said that she was born in the sea outside of Cyprus; in some versions of mythology, she was born after Cronus castrated Uranus and testicles thrown into the sea where eventually foam came from the testicles and created Aphrodite who came out of the sea as a fully grown woman. Even the name Aphrodite is interpreted as meaning “foam arisen”. In various artforms, Aphrodite is often depicted nude. Aphrodite was given overall very little specific descriptions in writing, although Homer stated she could be recognized by her “shining eyes and desirable breasts” while other writers mentioned things like a crown of gold or flowers in her hair, adorns much expensive jewelry, and sometimes wearing perfumed and/or silk garments that are closely draped. Her hair is often depicted as being long and often left at least partially down. She is depicted in different places with a wide variety of appearances (ex. Brown hair in some places, blonde in others), due to how little the Greeks described her therefore leaving room for imagination in artist’s depiction of Aphrodite.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Aphrodite married the blacksmith god Hephaestus who was said to be gruff, ugly and lame. She had many lovers including Poseidon, but her longest lasting affair was with the Greek god of war Ares. After Hephaestus discovered Ares in bed with Aphrodite he demanded the return of all wedding gifts to Zeus. Since Zeus refused to honor this calling this a marital dispute and making fun of Hephaestus, Poseidon instead suggested Ares should pay for the marriage gifts and offered to be the guarantor. Poseidon was smitten with Aphrodite when he first laid eyes on her while naked. Although Ares defaulted on the debt, Hephaestus didn’t want a divorce so he never brought up the affair again.
Although there are many stories in Greek mythology surrounding Aphrodite, the other myth I wanted to bring up here is the Judgment of Paris and the Trojan War. To start all of this, all Greek deities except Eris (goddess of discord) were invited to witness the marriage of Peleus and Thetis, who were the parents of Achilles. She chose to arrive with a golden apple that had the word kallistei “for the fairest” inscribed on it and threw it amongst the goddesses. Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena all claimed to be the fairest. Zeus elected to chose the Trojan prince Paris to be the judge of who the fairest one is. At the time, Paris was raised as a shepherd not knowing he is in fact one of the princes of Troy. This is because a few days after Paris’ birth, his mother had a dream of Paris running through the city with a blazing torch and setting it on fire. Because an oracle said this would all come true, Priam ordered for Paris to be taken to Mount Ida and left to die. Some shepherds found him and raised Paris as their son.
Since Paris couldn’t pick between the three goddesses, Hera bribed Paris with power of all of Asia and Europe, Athena wisdom, fame and glory in battle, and Aphrodite promised him the most beautiful woman in the world to be his wife (who was Helen of Sparta). Paris chose poorly, as Helen was already married to Menelaus. This led to Paris finding Helen while in Greece and fled back to Troy with Helen where they eloped. This resulted in the Trojan war that lasted 10 years. Paris was ultimately slain in battle by an archer named Philoctetes. The city of Troy did end up burning up, just not by Paris’ hand.
Aphrodite could be both kind and cruel in mythology. The mortal Psyche who eventually became the Goddess of the Soul was born a very beautiful woman whose beauty was rumored to rival that of Aphrodite’s. Visitors from neighboring countries would visit Greece and shower her with gifts and admirations. Aphrodite being a goddess who does not like being outshone or not properly worshipped, she chose to punish Psyche. She asked her son Eros to shoot her with an arrow so she falls in love with a hideous creature or monster. He instead shot himself when he was looking at her beauty while she was asleep in her bedroom. Eventually after the direction of an oracle led her to sitting on top of a mountain dressed in funerary clothing to meet her future husband (at the time described as a horrible serpent) is where she met Eros who guided her to an invisible palace. Psyche accidentally injured Eros when she took her candle to his face when he was initially refusing to show his face to her and burned him. Aphrodite attempted to punish Psyche by giving her impossible tasks to complete such as separating grains from each other, collecting black water from the River Styx, and obtaining the beauty of Proserpine in a golden box. However, various mythical creatures helped Psyche complete them all. After Eros heard of her struggles while he was healing, he begged Zeus to turn her into an immortal to be with her and agreed, so she became the Goddess of the Soul.
Offerings for Aphrodite/Venus include: pink, red, blue or white objects, honey, chocolate, vanilla, water, sugar, salt, tea, scents or flowers (ex. rose, frankincense, myrrh, vanilla, wildflowers), gems or jewelry (ex. rose quartz, copper, silver, gold, pearl, aquamarine, pearls), animal objects (ex. dolphins, doves, bees, swans) or other objects related to either war, beauty, beachy objects, or any devotional art.
Traits of Aphrodite in Genevieve Padalecki
Gen and her husband Jared have 3 children together, Tom, Shepherd “Shep”, and Odette. Derived from her website nowandgen.com and YouTube channel, Gen talked about her giving birth at home plans with her children. Tom ended up being born in a hospital, Gen used an acupuncturist who delayed her birth when Jared was not there initially, and she went with a water birth for Odette their “water baby”. She also discussed how she and her siblings were also all born at home. It’s not stated if her mom did any water births let alone if Gen was born via water birth. However, it’s an interesting thing to notate here in the context of Gen being an Aphrodite incarnation who was born in the sea. On her website nowandgen.com, she has discussed various things relating to women’s empowerment including advocating for women’s rights during childbirth and stated she planned for her children to be born at home, how to take better care of yourself after giving birth and other forms of self-love, that reading books is not weird, and home gardening. She also mentions having several chickens (14 in all!) as well as a few dogs and a colony of bees. This makes sense as an Aphrodite incarnation, given Aphrodite is a deity of love, beauty and procreation and bees being a sacred insect to Aphrodite.
instagram
I mentioned in a previous post that her husband Jared is an incarnation of Poseidon. I also mentioned in this post that Poseidon became smitten with Aphrodite when he first saw her while nude. An interesting fact to point out about how Jared and Gen first met in 2008 was when they were shooting a scene of Ruby in her underwear in a hotel room while working on “Supernatural”. They also have a sex scene on the Supernatural episode “I Know What You Did Last Summer”.
Gen and Jared made a TOWWN ad a couple years ago regarding being conservative with water and proceeded to “shower together”. Gen also posted 1 photo on her IG where she was nude under her white bed covers with a shirtless Jared not looking at the camera. Some other users here on Tumblr also informed me in the past she made multiple posts including things like a dildo. These things do all seem fitting of Gen to me as an Aphrodite incarnation, particularly seeing as how the TOWWN ad starts with a statement saying "A Valentine's day public service announcement". I also noticed browsing some of her IG posts quite a few of her posts are photos of her being surrounded by wildflowers or being in nature a lot, which also seems fitting as an Aphrodite thing to do, wanting to be surrounded by natural beauty.
youtube
On the show “Wildfire” where Gen played the main Kris Furillo that bonded with a horse named Wildfire, one interesting tidbit I came across while doing research for this post is the theme song is called “Morning Light” by Truman. Venus the Roman equivalent for Aphrodite is often called “the morning star”. It’s also interesting because Aphrodite favored the Trojan prince Paris who King Priam wanted left for dead after an oracle said his wife’s dream of Paris causing Troy to catch on fire. In the 2004 movie “Troy” and in mythology, it was said that Troy caught on fire after the Greeks created a giant wooden horse that the Trojans brought in as an offering to the Greek god of the sea Poseidon. It was after this that the Greeks were able to invade Troy who ultimately are who caused the city to burn down. It is worth noting that their son Shepherd was seemingly named after actor Mark Sheppard. Funny nudge in my opinion, given Aphrodite favored the Trojan prince Paris who grew up as a shepherd...
EDIT (added 11/22/2023 around 8:36pm EST): Also on a darker note, it was while Gen was pregnant with Shepherd is when her sister Sarah fell off a 4 story building and had severe head trauma from it but is apparently doing much better today and is "doing great and kicking us"; it seems her "psyche" stayed intact despite the head trauma. On a funnier note, in recent weeks on Twitter there's an account named archivesmilfs that created a top MILFs list where Danneel Ackles was named number 1 and Gen named number 5. Plenty of Twitter users commented on Gen's post saying things hinting at not knowing her or not agreeing with her being on this list. It's been said by some sources that the number 5 is a sacred number to Aphrodite, as it is said in numerology to represent the nupital number of love and union and also is involved in multiple aspects of creation (5 physical senses, 225 Earth days in a Venus year, being a multiple of 5 and 45)

🦇 welcome to my page! 🦇
hi! my names orion, my pronouns are they/them, and im a college student with a passion for all things magic! i've been a witch for about six years now and i specialize in divination (throwing bones, tarot, pendulums, runes) and deity work :)
the altars i have now are: hades, persephone, hermes, diana, apollo, hekate, aphrodite, dionysus, the morrigan, freyja, bastet, and anubis
you may notice that i have an odd arrangement of gods from several different cultures, and that's because i worship all pantheons! even monotheistic religions have tooth in my eyes, although i dont personally worship them in my practice
for this reason i do not consider myself wicca, instead preferring the term pagan or polytheist. it just works better for me :D
my goal with this account is to essentially create a digital copy of the contents of my book of shadows, not just for me but for anyone else out there that might benefit!
