Sometimes offerings can look like devoting acts to the gods

Sometimes offerings can look like just giving the gods a simple glass of water

Sometimes offerings can look like making things in honour of the gods

Sometimes offerings can look like giving the gods cool rocks you find

Offerings don’t have to be big or expensive to be good offerings, it’s the thought that is most important

The looks of love

Aphrodite can look like this;

But also this;

And this;

And this;

And this;

Aphrodite has many looks, each just as beautiful as the last

Shining Aphrodite

[vanityofaphrodite]

There is something so beautiful about having altars in your home, especially in your room. There is something so lovely about coming home after a long day and going to my room and being able to spend time with Aphrodite and the other deities that I worship. There is something so lovingly about having lady Aphrodite be the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see at night.

I see……

I see lady Aphrodite in those who smile and give people compliments as they pass each other

I see lady Aphrodite in those who look in the mirror and smile at their reflection as they put on makeup

I see lady Aphrodite in those who stand up for women

I see lady Aphrodite in the couples gently kissing and holding each other

I see lady Aphrodite in the laughter shared with friends as they talk about something stupid

I see lady Aphrodite in the beauty of the sea as the sunlight glistens along the surface

I see lady Aphrodite in the gentle act of gift giving, one person sharing a gift with another out of love

I see lady Aphrodite every day.

And so do you.

A Hymn to lady Aphrodite

Homeric Hymn 6 to Aphrodite :

"I will sing of stately Aphrodite, gold-crowned and beautiful, whose dominion is the walled cities of all sea-set Kypros (Cyprus). There the moist breath of Zephyros the western wind wafted her over the waves of the loud-moaning sea in soft foam, ad there the gold-filleted Horai (Horae, Seasons) welcomed her joyously. [The story of the birth of Aphrodite follows.] . . .

Hail, sweetly-winning, coy-eyed goddess! Grant that I may gain the victory in this contest, and order you my song. And now I will remember you and another song also."
