Tumblr media
⭐️ April 4th - Traditionally, the 4th of every month was believed to be sacred to Aphrodite.
⭐️ Fridays - Similarly, Fridays were also seen as sacred to Aphrodite
⭐️ Full Moon - Coincidentally, the April Full Moon is the Pink Moon. It’s the perfect day to work with, embrace, and honor the energies of Aphrodite April

‹ 30 Days of Aphrodite 𝟹
Day Two : Why do you want to worship/work with Aphrodite ??
As I have said , I've always felt very connected to Her . Her work with self - love is also something I'd like to build upon . She's been an important part of my entire life , honouring Her and worshipping Her feels natural . Also , albeit a bit selfish , I do just love Her , and having the opportunity to work with Her is one I couldn't pass up .

Aphrodite April
1. share the origin story of your relationship with Aphrodite
when I first began exploring alternative religions, Dionysos was the Deity leading the way. as my eyes opened to the possibility of worshipping Deities from ancient religions, i immediately knew that I wanted to explore Aphrodite as well
love and intimacy have been an integral part of my life, ever since I could conceptualize what it meant to be in love with another person. as a child I always had crushes on my classmates, I would constantly dream about meeting my "one true love", and I was deeply invested in the love lives of the people around me. at one point, I even designed an entire wedding for my older sibling and their new partner (they did end up getting married years later)
as Dionysos aided me on my path of discovery, i erected a shrine to Aphrodite as well. it was impulsive and Dionysos had advised against it, but I went forward with it anyways. i gave offerings and decorated Her shrine, but I noticed a lack of connection. I was very disappointed by this due to how sure I was previously that we would grow close. as time went on, Apollon made Himself known and Aphrodite was pushed to the back of my mind. i even took down the shrine at one point in order to make room for Apollon
around 4 months into worshipping Dionysos, Apollon, and Hermes (who showed up within that time), I felt a surge of admiration towards Aphrodite again. suddenly, I had the Three Brother™ on one side telling me that I needed to focus my time on Their teachings and Aphrodite on the other side asking me to include Her in my practice. i was also very new still, and juggling the research and worship of 4 Deities was overwhelming to me. finally, we compromised and I said goodbye to Apollon in order to include Aphrodite in my life
the shift was almost immediate. the disconnect I had experienced before had been completely washed away in favor of a doting, motherly energy that flooded my space. I had known all along that I wanted to come back to Her someday and we were both ecstatic that the time had come. I've had unbroken worship of Her ever since then and She has maintained great significance since the moment I returned Her shrine to my bedside.
I learned that Dionysos had been enforcing the 3 Brother's influence over Aphrodite's, causing that feeling of disconnect between Her and i. at the time, I was really shocked to hear Him admit this but looking back i completely understand why. Dionysos and Apollon were an essential duality that helped me ease years of paranoia and anxiety issues. had Aphrodite been there, I'm sure I would have been very distracted by Her loving presence
I don't see this conflict between the Brothers and Aphrodite as fighting or an argument, but moreso a passionate Goddess and a love-starved teenager having a hard time being patient. it touches me deeply today that I had found my way to Her before our time had even come because i personally believe Aphrodite has been with me for a lot of my life. it also taught me to not fear conflicts between Divinities or project anger onto the Gods. overall, a situation I look back on very fondly and it allowed me to connect with Aphrodite very deeply. I'm thankful for Dionysos's willingness to act in my best interest and the way Aphrodite stood Her ground for influence in my early practice. i certainly wouldn't have survived the rest of that year without Her.

30 Days of Aphrodite
This challenge was created by @teawiththegods, I take no credit for it :)
Day 30!
What does the future look like for Aphrodite and you?
I have lots dreams with Aphrodite in my future. Ones including creating a big sacred space for her and I would love to make that a reality. Otherwise I just hope I can be one of those happy old ladies that goes to the beach every now and then to reconnect with her deity. I will continue to worship her in this life and every life left to come. But there are still so many adventures yet to come. 
Lastly, I would love to thank Jessie again for making this amazing challenge (both of them!) I have a very difficult time doing daily worships because of how busy I can get and how forgetful I am. This was definitely a challenge that made me excited to log on every morning to complete. I hope you continue to make more, and if you do I look forward to participating. Again, thank you so very much.

I'm a bit late to the 30 days of Aphrodite (found here) so I'm diving in now.
Share the origin story of your relationship with Aphrodite It's not exactly a new story, but definitely a memorable one. As a united front, Aphrodite and Hermes gave me the all-consuming double-edged sword kind of brainrot that left me no peace. Every waking and sleeping thought was them to the point of eating and breathing their blaring green light signs that took me a while to realize the message. Here I have both of them banging insistently upon my door with increasing agitation and a need to be heard while Hermes was so much louder by comparison to Aphrodite's more chill approach.
If both want to be heard, they will be heard as their culmination ended in them being as blunt as possible to my oblivious mindset. Both pretty much grabbed and pulled me by my hands with fairly obvious communication of their wishes and their open-ended invitation to worship them. They became my start (ft Apollon as a third that was just there immediately after agreeing to the change, a shock for sure). I owe them everything for the comfort and teaching they brought to me in my early days of actually going through with something I was already deeply knowledgeable about. They are warm and have a huge open-arm approach that will always make me associate the song If You Want by Depeche Mode with them, the one I play whenever I start to feel unsure and insecure.
They are love, acceptance, and connection, the two smile/laughter-loving golden gods that I wouldn't trade or change how my stumbling into the shift from rotting monotheism to polytheism that feels so right.
Tumblr media
What was the first offering you ever gave Aphrodite? Seashells from my giant hoard of them (seriously, I have a whole big chest of them and stones/crystals I've been collecting for so long). I knew what to do to an extent but was weirdly nervous about actually doing it so I kind of went overboard with the shells and the crafted roses I had on hand. Aphrodite is very wealthy with all the gifts/offerings I have given to her so far.

meant to post this on the 10th but forgot so here we are today with the 1/3 post of my 💖Hermes and Aphrodite April devotional challenge💖, which will consist of me mashing up a bunch of challenges i have saved and just talking about them. doing Hermes here and then rbing with my Aphrodite sideblog
for the first part, the prompts are:
🌷Favorite titles and epithets🌷 Kharidôtês (Giver of Joy), Kharmophrôn (Glad-Hearted, Heart-Delighting), messenger, interpreter of everything, luck-bringer, loud-shouting, joyful one, gracious one, bringer of sleep and dreams, friend / lover of mankind. Honey-sweet, laughter-bubbling, of vibrant stims, and of fresh breeze have a special place in my heart. also have seen people use (and i love them) king of memes, Giver of blessings, patron of cheesy jokes, of the roadside rest stop, of shenanigans, lord of crossroads...
🍎Favorite associated symbols (historical or not)🍎 uh. phallic imagery lol also the caduceus, dice, cows/sheep/goats, the number 4, and the winged boots
🍯Preferred offerings/devotional acts🍯 I like giving him dice, strawberries or strawberry-themed stuff, getting bread with honey (either to give, share or just devote the act of making and eating it), doing divination (especially trying out different methods, outside of tarot, and coming up with my own divinatory systems), doing research

Lessons from Aphrodite:
Sometimes “I think you’ll like this” really means “I enjoyed this and want to share it with you”
This was a very hard lesson to learn for me, someone who actively avoids media the more people recommend it.

‹ 30 Days of Aphrodite 𝟹
Day One : What First Interested You About Aphrodite ??
I have always felt connected to love , beauty , and the ocean. I grew up right next to the ocean , it's like a second home to me. In particular , though , I was drawn to her in February of 2021. I didn't start worshipping her until April of that year , though. In my opinion , I feel as if I've been worshipping her my whole life , albeit not consciously. She has just always been such an important of my person.

30 Days of Aphrodite
Day 25: What was something you learned about Aphrodite that shocked you?
Definitely finding out about her "Warlike" epithet, since for the longest time at the beginning of me researching her, I only knew her as the goddess of love and beauty, so finding out she basically had a side of her that was a female version of Ares, wielding a shield and spear, was kind of mind blowing to me because of how little information about that version of her there is out there (especially since most depictions of her, including Homer's version in The Illiad, depict her as "incompetent" in battle)
