healing with Hera and Aphrodite can also look like sitting in the shower, remembering the sorrow of being abandoned by a lover, and just letting them witness your cries. they understand your loss of innocence and the grief that goes with it.

healing with Hera and Aphrodite can also look like regressing back to your thirteen year old self, or protecting that thirteen year old self who needed nothing more than love.

healing with Hera and Aphrodite can also look like acknowledging being at rock bottom, and realising you have nowhere to go but up now.

healing with Hera and Aphrodite can look like forgiving.

healing with Hera and Aphrodite can also look like anger.

healing with Hera and Aphrodite looks like love.

This is probably related to my personality, state of mind and core values, but I view Lord Ares' energy a bit different than what I see here.

To me, Lord Ares is calm. He is the motto "It is scary because it's unfamiliar, not because you're incapable." He reminds me that I can do it scared. That I can be scared, be anxious, that I can tremble from fear and still do something. That courage is born when you are scared, and still make a step forward.

He is not my shield - He lets me face my challenges face-on, but He's always got my back. Maybe that's a reflection of myself, my life story and shit I've been through: I am scared of having my back turned to someone, but with Him having my back, I am safe. I can do it, no matter how scared I am.

He is also the reminder that sometimes acting will only hurt me. That there are situations where all I can do is wait. He pats my back and says "I know it's hard, but you will make it," while I shed my tears of helplessness and longing.

He is calm, and firm. He teaches me when to say "I see you, I see your feelings, but I won't let you treat me like this." He teaches me that anger is good. Anger is often self-love. But being angry does not entitle me to act in ways I do not like. He is the hand on my shoulder, the silent "Stop, breathe, and then act."

He is gentle. He is calm. But He takes no shit from me. He understands how I feel. He understands that some things are better to leave alone for a while. He understands that sometimes the best thing I can do is not to fight. To wait things through.

He pushes me forward. He shows me I can do more. When I think I can't do any more reps of some exercise, He tells me "Just 10 more. I know you can." When I think I can't keep going, He is there to tell me I can.

I am grateful to worship Lord Ares.

So about 2-3 weeks ago I started worshipping Zeus, and yesterday, a friend of mine said how hot the day was, and asked me to maybe make it colder by asking my Gods. I decided to ask Aeolus to give us some winds, but then Zeus was like.

“No, no, no, no, no. I’ll do it. Besides, you like to specialize in weather magick right?”

Immediately after I tried connecting with Aeolus to do my weather magick to summon some winds, thunder came around instead 💀 It rained for 2 hours straight after that.

Saw my ex’s social media acc when I didn’t want to (again), but this time, no panic attack! I just fucking flipped him off on the other side of the screen and I felt Father Ares and Mother Aphrodite’s energy in me.

THANK YOU DAD, THANK YOU MOM!!

MOTHER !!!!

Aphrodite, godess of Beauty, godess of grace, she'll throw apples at your face

[theareiandaughter]

Father Ares is the feeling of holding on even when it feels so hard.

He’s the sound of your heart beating, and lets you know you’re still alive.

He’s the courage to keep going, no matter what happens.

He’s the feeling of doing what you needed to.

He’s the feeling of not being afraid anymore.

He is Strength and Courage.

Praise to Father Ares. Ily dad ^^^^

I asked Mother Aphrodite to not make my haircut suck, and when I had it, I didn’t like it at first because it wasn’t at all what I was expecting, it was wayyy too different.

Literally the following days after I felt like the hottest bitch alive

In all honesty though THANK YOU MAMA

GRATITUDE E-OFFERINGS

Gratitude Offerings to those Gods and Goddesses who helped me banish and protect me and a dear friend’s home

no matter who I was being at that moment, you always believed that I had the courage and strength to push forward. i never gave up on anything on my life, and that’s because you never gave up on me. you always lifted me back up from my lows, never abandoning me, always hearing my cries and screams, and always were proud when i was at my highest, and celebrated with me with cheer and laughter.

praise be to you, My Father.
