HOMERIC HYMN #6
TO LADY APHRODITE
Of revered gold-wreathed and stunnning Aphrodite
I shallsing, to whose domain belong the battlements
of allsea-laved Cyprus where, blown by the moist breath of Zephyros,
she was carried over the waves of the resounding sea
in soft foam. The golden-crowned Horae
happily welcomed her and clothed her with heavenly raiment.
Then on her divine head they placed a well-wrought crown,
beautiful and golden, and in her pierced ears
flowers of brass and precious gold.
Round her soft neck and silver-white breasts
they decked her with golden necklaces such as the gold-filleted
Horae themselves are adorned with wherever they go
to the lovely dances of the gods and to their father’s house.
After they decked her body with every sort of jewel,
they brought her to the immortals, who saw and welcomed her,
with open arms, as each one wished
that he might take her home as his wedded wife;
for they marveled at the looks of violet-crowned Kythereia.
Hail, honey-sweet goddess of the fluttering eyelids!
Grant me victory in this contest and arrange my song.
I shall remember you and another song as well.
(trans. by Apostolos Athanassakis)

happy Valentine's + Aphrodite's day! <3
thank you for always being with me, Lady Aphrodite, for showing me love. For guiding me through my healing and self love journey. For always knowing how to help me feel better about myself. I thank you everyday for the beauty you've given me, both of body and soul

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!

When you step into sunlight, you honor Apollo. When you admire the moon, you honor Artemis. When you admire cloud shapes, you honor Hera. When you smell petrichor, you honor Zeus. When you laugh at a joke, you honor Hermes. When your body twitches to dance at a particularly upbeat music, you honor Dinoysus. When you enjoy the first bite of your breakfast, you honor Demeter. When you choose your peace over any conflict, you honor Athena. When you warm yourself up by sheltering yourself in blanket, you honor Hestia. When you listen to Ocean sounds, you honor Poseidon. When you smell flowers, you honor Persephone. When you admire the coolness of first day of Autumn, you honor Hades. When you wear your favourite jewellery, you honor Hephaestus. When you smile, you honor Aphrodite. When you exercise, you honor Ares. When you light a torch in a dark room, you honor Hekate.
Your body is a shrine to Gods, your being an act of devotion for them. You, by yourself, are enough for them.

— Aphrodite is iridescence, like the shimmer of pearls and seashells, like glittering jewels in the sea

You can find Aphrodite when you gush over romcoms. You can find Zeus when the rain pours and soaks your hair. You can find Hera when you're loyal to your friends and partners. You can find Ares when you argue with your parents over the causes you believe in. You can find Apollo when the sun caresses your cheek.
The gods are everywhere—you just need to know where to look.

This is just a quick reminder that this blog is not a safe place for you if you are a terf. Especially if you try and push the fucked up idea that Aphrodite does not love trans women. I am trans myself and won't tolerate my sisters being disrespected by miserable radfems. Ty.
Lady Aphrodite loves everyone. Including trans people.

The Gods love you.
Even when you spend days without lighting up their candles.
Even if you don't have an Altar.
Even if you don't feel their presence yet.
Even if you're not good at tarot.
Or doesn't have prophetic dreams.
They still love you. And you know why?
Because you're you. And that's enough for them, your presence, your devotion, your well-being, is what truly matters for them.
So don't you feel pressured or sad, lovebug 💜💜
