Aphrodite; Prayer For Strength

Grant me strength in this moment of need.

May your divine love empower my spirit.

Aphrodite, guide me with your wisdom,

As I embrace the power of love within me.

Through your eternal beauty,

May I rise, renewed and unbroken.

What songs do you associate with Demeter?

[necrolatria]

The Greek for “divine possession” is enthusiasmos—enthusiasm. To be enthused or enthusiastic is to be “engodded,” to be divinely inspired.

—Stephen Fry, Mythos

Demeter takes part in your meal, not just homemade breads. She is in each microwave dish, each quick cup of ramen, each fast food delivery too. You do not need endless energy and resources of fresh meals to be connected to her, any nourishment of yourself is nourishment of her realm.
