#thank you Aphrodite

[sunlitpath]

Love doesn’t have to be intense, it can be beautifully gentle

Thank you for reminding me that, Aphrodite, Goddess of Love.

Greetings, Fellow Travelers - Personal Update

No one asked for this but I'm excited about it.

I have an incredibly supportive boyfriend, like he's beyond sweet.

ahhh thank you Lady Aphrodite.

He's the only reason why I'm semi-open with my religion, he's so open-minded, so patient, and he's a Buddhist.

As of recently, I've started to really work with Lord Hypnos. We've mediated. He's been training me? Idk. In our last mediation session, we did a lot. And obviously, I HAD to tell my boyfriend, and instead of being confused or weirded out, his first question was, "Can you take me some time?"

Which was WILD? Honestly, I wasn't that surprised since the last time I spoke about Lord Hypnos, my boyfriend seemed so happy about my love for Him. He actually wanted to pray to Him with me, and now that he's about to buy a house (he's a homeowner over here), I've asked if I can put my altars on a bookshelf in the living room or just dedicate a bookshelf to them, as well as have shrines in the bedroom.

And he said yes! I'm fully allowed to practice in peace and openly, and not only that, he might join me in my my practice.

I know that this post might be screaming into the void, but i don't know who else might be happy about this, but I sure am.

Mated doves chilling in my garden. Right in front of my olive tree and shrine. I think it’s been 4 years now. I adore them.

The speed at which I went from 'ugh I hate my body' to 'i love having a muffin top' is diabolical

Something I have learned over the decades is that people will love you no matter how much of a broken, unhealed mess you are.

The difference is, the ones who love you at rock bottom aren't usually the best for the healed-you.

They need someone to fix or a broken soul to give them a sense of purpose, assuming they're not in it to use and abuse you intentionally.

Then if you choose the hard road of personal growth and healing for the sake of being a better you, suddenly your light shines too bright.

Your light shines on their bullshit.

It exposes them for making you their home because theirs was broken.

That their love was that of addiction.

When we meet someone while further along our path of betterment, that's where the true love is.

They celebrate us as we grow.

And when our light exposes their bullshit?

The ones who truly love us don't get burned.

They admire our healing and choose to also heal themselves alongside us.

And when we backslide occasionally during our self-improvement journey?

Because they knew us when we were still bleeding a little on others with our unhealed wounds, they accept us during those dark nights.

They also know how to apply first-aid when the wounds threaten to reopen.

Don't wait until you're perfect or better to allow love, otherwise you'll never let it in.

Do wait until you're not longer lashing out at the world for the hurt the world caused you and you've learned to stop licking love from a knife to embrace that love.

Then when you do, you'll meet someone who has your back on the good days and bad.

self-improvement should be because you want to improve your quality of life, not because you feel or think you *need* to be better in order to be loved or allowed to live. there's no end goal with self-improvement, it's easy to dig yourself a grave when you don't realize that you're not on a ticking clock to be the 'best version of yourself'. all you need to strive to do is be the version of yourself you are the most happy with. find out what values you find important, what kind of friend do you want to be, how do you want to react to things. what are things that would improve the way you go about life? what would make life easier, better and more enjoyable for you?

“It’s never love that’s hard”

A poem offering to Aphrodite and to the love of my life making it easier to exist even when despair and fear are trying to kill my spirit

Now please excuse me while I go and hide from the embarrassment of sharing my voice with you all and feeling very silly and self conscious about it 🙈

👏RIP👏THAT👏LEASH👏

(would it be too much for the one time he allows himself to have her to be one shot one hit boom baby Eros)

It's good that it's dark, good that your teeth touch his fingers, good that despite the heat coming off the water your skin still prickles with goosebumps when his fingers dip between your folds. After all the dark is the closest thing to a home Nikto has known with you, and teeth... well, all dogs know those.

Teeth are all that Nikto has. They scrape against your skin, his scarred mouth dragging its heat over your neck to chase each drop of water that drips from your hair with his tongue. He presses against your back, holds you like a hinge as your arms shake to hold both of you up. Or perhaps it's anticipation that makes you shiver and shudder, that makes you drop to your elbows against the edge of the bath and press your hips back into his.

It's too much to feel you rub against his cock like that. It plucks at an already frayed leash. You must know that starving dogs bite.

Your head hangs loose, your neck yielding to the press of his teeth with perfect impressions, as he blankets your body with his. Corruption in the smoke that you exhale when his fingers touch your clit, in the low moan that escapes you when he dips lower to stretch your cunt. He does this for you, gives you something you won't allow anyone else.

And takes other things.

If you are going to go out and start wars over something as small as an apple, perhaps you need something bigger to occupy your attention.

It's the hiss between your teeth that grabs the beast tight when it tries to feed you his cock. He knows the scent of iron too well though, feels the hunger in his teeth at the thought too clearly. The god of love, of beauty, of sex bleeds on the cock, his cock, that splits them open.

It isn't the heat of the bath that makes Nikto's head spin, that makes him pant against your neck and murmur the sweet words that sprout from long forgotten voices. The forge has never sung its song so sweetly than it does when your soft cunt envelops his cock.

His control never slipped so fast as it does when your curious fingers reach back to grip his hip and force him deeper.

tfw you’re the god of blood but your sister is the god of nightmares and that seems to include in her relationships as well

I have never felt like this

For once I'm lost for words

Your smile has really thrown me

This is not like me at all

I never thought I'd know

The kind of love you've shown me

Now, no matter where I am

No matter what I do

I see your face appearing

Like an unexpected song

An unexpected song

That only we are hearing

I don't know what is going on

Can't work it out at all

Whatever made you choose me

I just can't believe my eyes

You look at me as though

You couldn't bear to lose me

Now, no matter where I am

No matter what I do

I see your face appearing

Like an unexpected song

An unexpected song

That only we are hearing

I have never felt like this

For once I'm lost for words

Your smile has really thrown me

This is not like me at all

I never thought I'd know

The kind of love you've shown me

Now, no matter where I am

No matter what I do

I see your face appearing

Like an unexpected song

An unexpected song

That only we are hearing

Like an unexpected song

An unexpected song

That only we are hearing

Praise Aphrodite! She’s truly the best

I love Aphrodite. Even before starting Hellenic polytheism, I always admired her. She's always been one of my if not the favorite goddess.

And now I know I can show her this love I have and I just

I'm so giddy over her, she makes me so happy. I love Aphrodite.
