Aphrodite/Venus💕

Our Tarot deck Sefirot got picked up by a publisher and just got released with a new version worldwide!

You can grab a copy here ✨

O child of ethereal and terrestrial song, Grasp this sword, for to thee it does belong. With chain mail gleaming, both pearl and ore, Thou art armored 'gainst life's tempestuous roar.

one thing i'm getting nailed into my head is that you don't have to ask spirits just for important things.

i promised a cup of coffee to whoever was going to help me get a good parking spot under cover (it was raining and i had no umbrella) and lo and behold, it worked out.

you don't have to leave prayer, offerings, promises, what have you, for only the Big Bad Problems. you can just ask for the little problems too - sure, sometimes the answer will be "no" or you'll get something unexpected, but asking for help regardless doesn't have to always warrant expected, predictable results (in my opinion).

sometimes just trusting a spirit enough to be vulnerable with them can be a great stepping stone in forging a good relationship. that means something.

[thewitchkat]

sing, sing, oh i sing to aphrodite who is  most beautiful! she who stirs the passion of men & god alike! o, to she — i sing! golden goddess with soft lashes, golden goddess with soft arms, i spin and sing and delight in  the bright rose that is you. may i dance with  your grace, lifted up as the foam from the sea  as you were — may my smile be blessed with  delight. golden-haired goddess, bless my tongue to be sweet as honey, bless my fingers to be  delicate and swift, bless my steps so they may  bound forth in soft beauty. glory to she — praise  to she! goddess of ever golden smiles, of fierce  beauty, of spilling laughter and delight. o! may i  love as you love — may i delight as you delight! goddess, fill me with your beauty — may i shine & rise above the wrathful waters of those around me  and delight, delight, delight in the glory that you  have given to me!

Pssst hey kid. Wanna cleanse your home for free with no effort?

Open a window.

That's it. That's all you have to do. Open a window and let Nature cleanse the space. Free and easy down the road we go.

Where on the "visualize a protective bubble" to "nails and piss in a jar" continuum of protection spells would you say you typically fall?

God I can't wait to be informed a dozen times that nails and piss in a jar is not the extreme end of the spectrum and is pretty tame and normal, actually.
