SERIOUSLY THO I see people writing all these really poetic prayers and making all these beautiful offerings and shrines to their deities and honestly? All this piety makes me so nervous lmao.
I *know* I can have very different forms of relationships with my gods (and I especially realized this after learning about godspousing this weekend!) than others but sometimes I'm like...shit am I too friendly with Hermes and Dionysos? Like some days I deadass just offer them Maynards wine gums if that's all I've got 😭😭
How it feels to have a vastly different UPG of ur deities than everyone else

Besties listen to me. Ok. Please hear me out. I am not a gatekeeper. We don’t gatekeep around here. Gatekeeping is hate keeping okay. You can get into the craft at any age regardless of your abilities etc etc. Elitism in occultism and spirituality is stupid ok.
BUT!!!
This is just a friendly reminder and fair warning ? (not warning because this isn’t scary) this is a message.
You don’t have to devote yourself to a deity if you don’t want to. Like, you’re allowed to just revere a deity without becoming a devotee.
Devotion is pretty intensely binding and long term.
There are many deities that I have worked with, or even worship(ped), who I am not a devotee of like Dionysus or Lilith, Azazel. Even with a deity like Horus, who I absolutely love and revere and even set altar space aside for, I wouldn’t say I’m a devotee of Horus because we haven’t taken vows or established a contract. I just… love them. and that’s p much it and that’s okay!
Im not devoted to Anubis or even Hecate (YET) because I haven’t put in that fucking work with them as I have with Lucifer or Aphrodite, and that’s okay too. It takes quite a long time. That’s the exact reason why I haven’t devoted myself to Hecate yet, I haven’t nearly gotten to the level of familiarity with her to do something THAT binding, it’s like a sort of marriage.
And likewise, I am still in the process of initiation with Leviathan, we’re taking it slow. I’m technically not even fully devoted to Hermes yet either.
You guys have seen my altar, I spend a significant part of my daily life working with and worshipping Lucifer because he’s my Patron. I don’t “have to” but I do pray and write to him every day. I make offerings to him every day, I wear his talismans, I think about him every day. More than any other deity that I work with, because I’m his, by vow. Not every deity that I am devoted to is always around me, but my Patron is. If not in spirit than in my prayers and heart.
Now this isn’t to say you have to have a big extravagant altar or spend a ton of time constantly worshipping a deity to be a valid devotee, we all decide what level of involvement we want to have. But do be warned, especially if it’s your first time, many deities do take it very seriously. Betraying that level of trust is not something I would advise.
You don’t have to be that involved with a deity if you don’t want to or you’re just not ready yet.
Kids, children, I’m talking to you, MINORS,
Again, no gatekeeping we don’t gate keep, HOWEVER. Be informed.
If you wouldn’t feel comfortable getting a Lucifer tattoo (or something of an equivalent permanence because not everyone likes the idea of body modification, you know what I’m trying to say) you might want to just wait until you’re a little taller, older and wiser to make the decision to devote yourself to him. Of course there are those of us that don’t care about permanence and want to cover our entire bodies with ink before we’re 25, in which case, do as thow wilt. I’m talking to minors specifically right now though, because I know that I would not have been aware and mature enough to devote myself to Lucifer in my teens. Maybe I was a dumb teenager, but the idea of a child being devoted to a deity gives me a similar feeling to how I feel when I see child marriage. It’s not the same, but it somehow kinda is. Just! be smart with your soul.
You’re still fully welcome and encouraged to honour and work with your deities, remember that there was never any rule that said you had to make contracts and whatnot to work with a deity. Make whatever altars you want. However, if you are making the decision to be patroned or devoted to a deity, you better be damn confident in that decision.
A prayer to Lucifer from me typically has verses along the lines of “I invite you into my body, mind and soul, I forever devote myself to you, you are eternal in my heart” etc, because I’m his devotee. I feel very safe saying that, those words bring me comfort. This isn’t to say I’m not allowed to grow or change my mind, but at least as of right now, I’m in it for the long haul baby. If you’re not at the place where you feel comfortable saying that to your deity yet, don’t force it, don’t fight it, that’s when things start going wrong.
You are more than allowed to just adore the fuck out of a deity without being devoted to them. I still work with Azazel and Hecate and other entities, I simply do not have the time (or energy) in my life to be devoted to so many deities at once. I’ve only ever given blood to one deity, and that’s my Patron.
I’m Lucifer’s bitch, I think I always will be. If you are lucky enough to be favoured by a God that you love that much then that’s awesome, but not being a devotee doesn’t mean you aren’t loved or just as important to your God. Be chill, go with the flow, and everything will be fine.

Hiya Star!! I just saw your beginners guide to worshipping Aphrodite and I wonder if you wouldn’t mind answering a couple questions for me? I’ve just gotten into worship after feeling very strangely drawn to Apollo recently (who I know you also worship so hi ^o^) but I’m personally really bad at reading signs/trusting intuition because I’m a bit of an over thinker:’) but anyway!
I was wondering how you know when a deity likes your offerings! I’m really scared generally of offending people and I know the gods are said to be generally forgiving especially to beginners but I’m still nervous about maybe making an offering that isn’t well liked and not realising?
I was also curious how you communicate with them! I saw you said that you asked Aphrodite about an old relationship before you got with them and She was disapproving and told you why but I was wondering how that happens for you!
Im so sorry if any of this is too invasive or personal, pls feel free to ignore this! I also just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your beginners guide to Aphrodite worship and all the rest of your posts I’ve seen since as well! Hope you have a good day/night<3 (also apologies this is so long😭😭)
hi hi!! thank you so much for your ask anon!!
i really dont mind answering these types of questions so you’re a-okay! hope its okay i share! and i’m so glad you liked the beginners guide!
let’s get the first one out of the way, offerings!
okay, all i can really say for that one is research research research! very important! especially if you have no idea what to offer, theres tons of reliable sources here on tumblr! but lets say you want to offer something thats out of their “norm” or whats not in the offering list
ask
also important
you can either ask them yourself using divination methods like tarot cards and pendulum OR! ask right here on tumblr yet again. the amount of times when i asked if my deities would like something ultra specific when i first started out..
and if you’re lucky, you’ll get engagements by devotees who devote themselves to them! they usually answer best in my finds.
i offered Aphrodite a jellyfish crocheted plush and she seems to really enjoy it.
lastly, communication
in my beginners guide post i did mention that i spoke to her about an ex of mine. i communicated with her via tarot. i usually do so if i want an answer thats more in depth rather than a pendulum which is what i’d normally use
i hope this answered some of the questions you had!
thank you again for the ask lovely 🫶🏼🫶🏼

INTRODUCTION
Hi, I'm Levi!!!
I'm a 16 y/o with a lot of mental health issues. I have recently been experiencing bpd symptoms for the first time and I've kinda been losing my mind lately. I wanted somewhere where I could be myself anonymously, so I got Tumblr. I am genderfluid but prefer he/they. I'm an Aphrodite🕊 and to-be Apollo☀️ devotee. My dream is to one day travel the world🌎 and leave the world better than how I found it (which I know is most likely unachievable but too bad Im stubborn)
My interests are hopecore, greek mythology, nail art, pintrest, photography, fashion, music, writing, and being silly :3
(I also have a pintrest under the same user if you're interested :3 )
(ALSO ANOTHER SIDE NOTE, I AM AN ACTIVIST BUT I DONT WANT POLITICS OR ANYTHING ON MY TUMBLR BECAUSE THIS IS MY SAFE SPACE FOR WHEN THE WORLD IS STRESSING ME OUT. IF YOU NEED ME, SPECIFICALLY TO SPREAD GOFUNDMES, I CAN DM YOU MY PERSONAL INSTAGRAM AFTER I CONFIRM IT IS NOT A SCAM!)

Hai!! I've been slowly getting into witchcraft these past years and I felt like I need to ask someone experienced about stuff. I'm trying to delve into working with aphrodite since alot of her myth and what she represents aligns with me. I've always been connected to the ocean since I was a child and it is the most frequent thing I see in my dreams, and I feel that my life is centered deeply around the relationships I make and maintain. I am very sensitive to energies of spirits and have been saved multiple times by a series of lucky happenings throughout my life. I have also recently had visions of a decased family member while in their home (I visibly froze while I saw it and my family had to snap me out of it). I want to learn to love myself and also need guidance with my sexuality and how to safely explore it. Do you think aphrodite is a good fit for all this? Should I reach out? And do you have any tips on what I could do to reach out to her... I'm not very good with keeping routines so I'm worried ill fall short and make her get annoyed with me 😭. Im also in the broom closet so that makes things a bit harder...
Thank you so much if you respond ♡♡♡♡ Also if you see this ask around its cuz I'm looking for blogs that seem reliable 😅
hello!! first off, thank you for your questions anon!! feel free to ask anything else, especially if i miss anything!
second, i am no expert so of course keep that in mind plz!
third, i think lady aphrodite is most definitely going to be helpful for you. i do think you should reach out but always keep in mind that she may not feel she has anything to teach you (don’t take it to heart it’s not out of cruelty it’s out of respect). for me, reaching out was easy. i had a candle (battery operated tea light candles also work) and i called to her. i introduced myself and set my intentions (loving myself, growing in my relationship, etc). you certainly don’t need any supplies at all but i found it helpful.
i’m also quite terrible with routines and i do often go long periods of time without communicating and luckily i haven’t had any negative experiences due to this.
being in the broom closet certainly doesn’t help, but fear not, i am too! my family doesn’t know and i don’t intend for them to. it can make things a bit more complicated but there are ways around this. if having an altar is something you’re worried about, there are mini altars/travel size altars on etsy (i can link them in another answer if u need). or just a simple candle. the gods are understanding. they love having worshippers and devotees. they all would love to have you worship no matter the altar.
i hope this helped!! feel free to ask anything you want! my asks are always open <3

Hey...will it alright for me to ask u something in regards to religion and some other stuff in regards to womanhood, gnosticism in particular? Ami jani its very vague but idk how to really ask u stuff...
I'm Bangladeshi myself, currently still living in bd and I'm at this weird point where ami probably ar muslim na....and I'm drowning...
I don't want to trauma dump on u...
I know I already asked u one question (which probably sounds stupid because im stricken with anxiety...), could you tell me something as devotee of Aphrodite? Does Allah exist, is the Quran truthful about all that it says, was Muhummad a liar, is Islam a lie? Ami ar partesina...I don't know where I would get answers...
Ami bujhi tumi ekhon kon obosthay aso. Amio ekkale emon chinta kortam. Islam can be draining, Allah can be distant. That's because we never really were in the religion. We were told we were Muslim and we went with it. Amra Muslim chilam karon amader ma baba bolse amra Muslim. Ami personally omnist. In that I believe all gods have truth to them. Historically speaking, Allah himself was a pagan Middle Eastern god before Muhammad came around. I won't say Muhammad was a liar, that is not upto me to decide. It's all a big might. It's your decision to reject it. If you see that Islam doesn't hold your truth, then let it go.
That was all me as a regular person. Now, as a devotee of Aphrodite. No, I don't believe in Allah. I do not think he exists, but he has truth to him. That's hard to understand. My belief lies in Aphrodite and She is to me what Allah is to Muslims. I too was once a Muslim. I too once prayed and prayed to Allah, but got no answer. I thought I was in the wrong, but turns out I wasn't.
I didn't see the first question but yes, you can ask me. Although I'd prefer the questions be clearer because I'm a no-brainer.

On God/Goddess Wrath
This is a topic I’ve been really wanting to address in serious detail with the information coming from Tiktok recently. Gods from ANY pantheon are capable of being mad or disappointed at you, but there’s some misconceptions on this wrath and what it looks like to worshipers. So if ur in need of some reassurance, want to start worshiping deities. or want to start working with them this post is for you! 
I have indeed experienced Gods being mad at me. When I cannot get around to my worship to Ares as much as my other deities, I feel less powerful as myself. I feel his presences just being dissapointed in me. One time, I accidentally disrespected Zeus by making a joke about the rain, a small droplet of water got into the crack of my phone during the storm and turned the touch screen of for 3 days! Another time, I really disrespected Aphrodite on accident by agreeing to worship her and then not being able to handle it and having to go back on my word. I was given cramps, zits, and graying hair?! (im 17 and my family does NOT grey young) But in my experience, these are the worsts things I have ever had to go through.
I will say, everyone has a different relationship with the Gods. But, from what I’ve noticed, people often have very similar trends with them too. I notice a lot of divination with Apollo for most of us is using tarot. I’ve noticed for multiple worshipers/devotees to Ares, use shufflemancy! These things are not really a coincidence, the Gods do have patterns. They aren’t going to change their whole personalty from person to person, I mean what would be the point in that? Check those trends out, they will give you a lot of information on what you are or going to experience! When I say different relationship, I mean something along this line. Ares has always presented himself to me as an older brother figure, who loves me dearly but is stern with me. But he isn’t afraid to joke around with me and I’m not with him. Others may keep their relationship with Ares more formal, and thats okay too!!!
But no matter how different relationships can be, the Gods are NOT going to try to kill you. They are NOT going to make you feel unsafe. If they are actively making you fear and are sending you terrifying messages like threatening to kill you for a mistake, then you are NOT working with a god . (Ahem ahem...tiktok) I mean....if something is trying to kill you doesn’t that logically sound more like an evil entity then Apollo’s presence being with you as you pick out a necklace....just saying.
A common argument to this idea of the Gods not harming you (Why is there an argument to this ill never know) is “hAvE yoU eveN ReaD tHe mYtHS?” I have a lot to say on this subject;
 1.) Anyone whos seriously worshiping a deity is indeed going to read their myths like...come on stop assuming everyone doesn’t do their research. 
2.) Myths involving wrath are invoked when something CRAZILY disrespectful happens between a God and man. Like CRAZILY disrespectful. Lets take a look at Hermes myths of wrath for example. Demanding bribes, devouring visitors, calling Hermes a “common thief”, scouring the Gods..etc. These are things no worshiper would even do on accident, lets be real. These are the things that caused that serious, godly wrath in myth. Serious acts of blasphemy would cause that wrath, not a simply mistake like the wrong candle on an alter. 
3.) This point is more opinion based but. Myths were not written by the Gods themselves, but by people. And I personally do not think something written by a human could ever fully contain the true intentions, ideas, or thoughts of a God. Myths were also made to teach lessons back then as well, so in that sense, not all your research on a deity should be based on mythology. If mythology is the only book your reading on deities, your doing it wrong.
Honestly worshiping the Gods has been life changing for me. It has brought nothing but positively into my life. Even when mistakes occur, the Gods understand I’m still learning and growing. They forgive and never go rougher on me then I can take. They love me, and I love them. They are going to do the same to you. <3!

aphrodite april, day 11
Tumblr media
daily things you do for aphrodite
my daily devotions include mainly contemplation and self-love. i perform my daily rites where i honor her whole at morning and at night, i give her offerings of incense and libations, and i give thanks. i put on a rose quartz necklace i have for her, and perform my routine. i like to do shower magick in her honor, listen to her playlist, show love to my family and excercice accepting myself and the world as we are without changing anything. im still trying to figure out how to be a better devotee and what type of things to do more daily for her. i meditate in her honor too, and give myself small breaks, repeat affirmations, exercise, and stuff like that, but i don't feel like that's enough.

Hello! I was wondering, im agnostic, but ive been using your blog to explore and look into this religion. I know you said Apollo is a complicated god and can be difficult to contact, but ive been reading your posts on how to notice signs from your god and I believe that ive felt Apollo's presence my entire life without knowing. What im asking is can that be possible since ive never been a devotee? If so would I be able to make easier contact since he's been around me so long?
It is totally possible to have contact with a god for a long time and not know it (me and an anonymous Aphrodite go waaaaay back), I see Apollo, Hermes, and other gods playing with little kids all the time.
It's possible for anyone to connect with the gods, I don't know if it'll be easier because it's different for everyone and it's all on a person to person basis. It might be, it also may not and that's okay.
If you choose to pursue it, you'll be entering a new relationship and while there are always chances of meeting people you just click with, it still takes time for you both to get super close. Same thing with a god. There will be gods you just click with but even then, researching your god will allow you to get to know them better. Which is super important for establishing a better relationship.
If you're thinking of pursuing it (and I highly recommend it), here's a Masterpost that'll help!: (LINK)
If you feel that connection, to me, that's Apollo calling you. That's him making his presence known. You have every right to say yes or no, and if you choose to do it later that's okay too. The choice is yours:
Just know that he's calling...

I have a few questions, I'm just starting out and im pretty positive Aphrodite said yes to working with me. I made her a super pretty alter so I hope she likes it. On that note, how do I know if Aphrodite liked my offerings? How do I become more in touch with her.
Honestly just don't offer anything related to swines and she'll be pleased. In fact I'm sure she's already happy with you, given the fact that you made her a pretty altar. Also she dislikes swines because of the wild boar that killed one of her lovers in the myth of Adonis.
Getting in touch with Dite is very easy (at least for me it always was). Talk to her about your day, she already knows it all but there's something about telling all about your day to her that really makes your connection special, like a confident. Tell the things that hurt you, tell the things that brought you joy, let yourself feel your emotions and know that she'll be listening, and might as well advise you.
Offerings are literally the easiest part of the partnership when it comes too Dite. Not that I think any part is hard, but apart from swines, everything that is pretty or you felt a connection or you made with love, she'll gladly take. You could make some tea, she'll appreciate it. You could give her a seashell, she'll appreciate it. You could literally sing some gibberish you made up on stage, if that gibberish is filled with the love and appreciation you feel for her, you will feel her love and happiness back.
I hope this has helped you, if anything was unclear or if you want to ask anything else, you can always send another ask or a DM ^-^
Also I think it's important to reassure everything I say is based on my personal experience, and while I see that those experiences are shared with the majority of other devotees, it can be different. But do not worry, open your heart to her and she'll open her arms to you. 💖
