🌹💫 Embracing the Radiance of Aphrodite 💫🌹

✨✨ Calling all seekers of love, beauty, and passion! Today, let us embark on a captivating journey to connect with the enchanting energy of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and desire. Known for her alluring presence and profound wisdom, Aphrodite beckons us to explore the depths of our hearts, celebrate our sensuality, and radiate love in all its forms. 🌹💖

💫✨ Who is Aphrodite? ✨💫

In Greek mythology, Aphrodite, also known as Venus in Roman mythology, is the embodiment of love, beauty, and desire. She emerges from the foaming waves, born of the sea's divine essence. Aphrodite's essence encompasses not only romantic love but also self-love, friendship, and the appreciation of beauty in all its expressions.

🌹💖 Invoking Aphrodite: A Ritual of Connection 💖🌹

1️⃣ Sacred Space: Find a serene and private space where you can connect with Aphrodite without distractions. Decorate your altar with symbols of love, such as roses, seashells, feathers, or images that inspire feelings of beauty and sensuality. 🐚

2️⃣ Invocation: Light a pink or red candle to represent Aphrodite's radiant energy. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and visualize a soft pink light enveloping you, inviting Aphrodite's presence. Recite an invocation that resonates with your heart, inviting the goddess into your sacred space. 🕯

3️⃣ Offering of Beauty: Select an offering that symbolizes beauty and love. It could be a bouquet of fresh flowers, a piece of jewelry, or a love letter written from the depths of your heart. Place the offering on your altar as a gesture of devotion and openness to Aphrodite's guidance. 💐

4️⃣ Meditative Connection: Sit in stillness, grounding yourself through deep breaths. Envision a warm, golden light filling your being, embracing self-love and acceptance. As you connect with Aphrodite's energy, allow her loving essence to flow through you, nurturing your heart and awakening your sensual spirit. ❤️

5️⃣ Prayer and Intention: Express your heartfelt desires and intentions to Aphrodite. Speak your wishes for love, self-acceptance, and harmonious relationships. Open yourself to receiving her guidance and blessings, trusting in her wisdom to guide you on your journey of love and empowerment. 🪄

6️⃣ Gratitude and Farewell: Express gratitude to Aphrodite for her presence and guidance. Offer a final prayer or affirmation of gratitude, acknowledging her transformative influence in your life. Blow out the candle, symbolizing the end of the ritual while knowing that Aphrodite's love remains within you. 💌

🌹💖 Embracing Aphrodite's Lessons: Incorporating Love into Everyday Life 💖🌹

1️⃣ Self-Love Rituals: Engage in practices that cultivate self-love and self-care. Take soothing baths with rose petals, indulge in nurturing activities like journaling or creating art, and practice positive affirmations to remind yourself of your worthiness and inner beauty. 🛁

2️⃣ Beauty in Nature: Connect with Aphrodite's presence by immersing yourself in the natural world. Take walks by the ocean, bask in the warm glow of the sun, or stroll through fragrant gardens. Embrace the beauty around you and allow it to inspire a deeper appreciation for the world's wonders. 🌳

3️⃣ Cultivating Compassion: Extend Aphrodite's loving energy by practicing compassion and kindness towards others. Foster harmonious relationships, support friends and loved ones, and engage in acts of service that bring joy and love into the lives of others. 🪴

4️⃣ Embracing Sensuality: Honor your sensual nature and embrace your desires. Indulge in activities that awaken your senses, such as dancing, creating art, or exploring new culinary experiences. Engage in intimate connections, both with yourself and with others, guided by consent, respect, and the power of love. 🌙

5️⃣ Loving Connections: Nurture meaningful relationships in your life, both romantic and platonic. Prioritize open communication, vulnerability, and authentic connections that uplift and inspire. Remember that love exists in various forms, and each connection is an opportunity for growth and transformation. 🏠

🌹💫 Embrace the Love Within: Aphrodite's Blessing 💫🌹

As you journey alongside Aphrodite, allow her essence to guide you in embracing the beauty of love, both within yourself and in the world around you. Through her radiant energy, may you discover the transformative power of self-love, the joy of meaningful connections, and the strength to embrace your sensual spirit.

🌹💖🔥 Blessed be, dear souls, as you journey into the embrace of Aphrodite's love! 🔥💖🌹

The bible calls him distasteful.

Claim his name is edged in SIN.

But for us broken children.

He's the only one to ever let us in.

They claim my sexuality is sinful

I need a million reform programs

But the father of my sins

Loves me for who I am.

They call his power evil.

They hate his siren song.

But for us misguided children

True peace just feels wrong.

They claim him disagreeable.

They say that he is wicked

Except for us helpless children

He's freed us of the sins we committed.

The mortal binds they claim will free us

Just keep us bound to shame

But I have found my freedom

Every since I spoke his name.

They say a book of hatred

Will save me from my fate

They wrap me in a rosary

And claim it is too late.

They spread their shameful gospel

They say that I am lost

They say that i must pray

Except the lord at any cost.

They claim Jesus christ is fruitful

He saves the broken sole.

But for us lost children

The horned one makes us whole

"Aphrodite loves terfs" do you really think a goddess of love formed from a literal penis and the mother of Hermaphroditus, an intersex god who was associated with androgyny and feminine men, fucks around with transphobia?

she is a literal trans icon and to deny that will get you smited by all the gods

“Paganism is dead”

No man it’s just not organized and that’s the way it should be, creating a monoculture for paganism is potentially extremely dangerous to its themes of individualism and personal practices . Yeah we don’t have temples or pilgrimages but that’s because the grace of the natural world/ our deities can be found anywhere and everywhere we don’t need temples our own bodies are pagan temples. Our own flesh and bones are structures of divinity to us, we make altars in our houses and make those our blessed places. Most of paganism is heavily private of course you think it’s dead that and anytime western culture is faced with a polytheistic system it has an absolute hissy fit.

☀️Deities☀️

I see so many people criticizing others over their relationships, or lack thereof, with their deities, so here are some reminders:

Not having deities is okay.

Having just a devotional relationship with your deities is okay.

Having a working relationship with your deities is okay.

Playing games with your deities is okay.

Harmless jokes with your deities are okay.

Doing fun things with your deities is okay.

Doing devotional offerings for your deities is okay.

Giving physical offerings to your deities is okay.

Not being able to do certain offerings for deities is okay.

Having an altar for your deities is okay, no matter the size.

Not having an altar for your deities is okay.

Laughing with your deities is okay.

Crying with your deities is okay.

Having genuine conversations with your deities is okay.

Being unable to hear/see deities is okay.

Being able to hear/see deities is okay.

Not being able to communicate through divination is okay.

Using divination as a key element in communication is okay.

Not calling on deities during spellwork is okay.

Asking deities to help during spellwork is okay.

Asking deities for help in general is okay.

This is your relationship with your deities in your practice. Don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. 🫶

It's 2am, please forgive me if there are any mistakes!

🌊🌊 Embracing the Depths: A Sacred Journey with Poseidon 🌊🌊

✨✨ Calling all seekers of the sea, guardians of water, and those drawn to the mysteries of the deep! Today, let us embark on a profound and transformative journey to connect with the mighty energy of Poseidon, the god of the sea in Greek mythology. Poseidon, the ruler of oceans and tides, holds within him immense power, wisdom, and the ability to guide us through the depths of our emotions. Let us explore the depths of Poseidon's realm, honor his presence, and harness his transformative energy. 🌊💙🔱

💫✨ Who is Poseidon? ✨💫

In Greek mythology, Poseidon is the revered god of the sea, storms, and earthquakes. As the brother of Zeus and Hades, he commands the vast oceans, bestowing life-giving waters and testing humanity with tempestuous waves. Poseidon's energy embodies the ebb and flow of emotions, the vastness of the unconscious mind, and the power to navigate the depths of our own souls.

🌊💙 Invoking Poseidon: A Ritual of Connection 💙🌊

1️⃣ Sacred Space: Find a serene and tranquil space where you can connect with the energy of Poseidon. Create an altar adorned with seashells, sand, driftwood, or images that evoke the vastness of the ocean. Arrange your space with reverence, reflecting the beauty and power of the sea. 🐚

2️⃣ Invocation: Light a blue or aqua-colored candle to represent the ever-changing waters of Poseidon's realm. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and visualize the rhythmic sound of crashing waves. Recite an invocation that resonates with your heart, summoning Poseidon's presence into your sacred space. 🌊

3️⃣ Offering of Water: Select an offering that symbolizes the element of water and the vastness of Poseidon's realm. It could be a vial of ocean water collected from a sacred place or a representation of a seashell or sea creature. Place the offering on your altar as a token of your connection to the mighty sea god. 🐬

4️⃣ Meditative Connection: Sit in stillness, allowing the rhythm of your breath to align with the ebb and flow of the ocean tides. Visualize yourself diving deep into the ocean, surrounded by the cool embrace of Poseidon's waters. Allow his energy to permeate your being, awakening your intuition and guiding you on a journey of self-discovery. 🏝

5️⃣ Prayer and Intention: Express your heartfelt prayers and intentions to Poseidon. Share your desire for emotional healing, guidance through life's storms, and a deeper understanding of the depths within your own soul. Open yourself to receiving Poseidon's wisdom and allow his transformative energy to guide you on your path. 🌬

6️⃣ Gratitude and Farewell: Offer gratitude to Poseidon for his presence and blessings. Acknowledge his guidance and the transformative energy he has awakened within you. Offer a final prayer or affirmation of gratitude, knowing that Poseidon's strength and wisdom reside within you. Blow out the candle, symbolizing the end of the ritual while carrying Poseidon's energy within you. 🐟

🌊💙 Embracing Poseidon's Lessons: Navigating the Depths of Life 💙🌊

1️⃣ Emotional Healing: Dive deep into your emotions, embracing them as powerful allies on your journey. Allow Poseidon's energy to guide you through the waves of your feelings, teaching you to find strength, resilience, and understanding in the depths of your emotional landscape. 📔

2️⃣ Intuition and Inner Wisdom: Listen to the whispers of your intuition, for it is the voice of Poseidon's wisdom within you. Trust your instincts, follow the currents of your inner guidance, and allow the deep waters of your soul to reveal hidden truths and insights. 🧿

3️⃣ Adaptability and Resilience: Draw upon Poseidon's ability to weather storms and navigate turbulent waters. Embrace change with grace and adaptability, knowing that like the ever-changing tides, life flows in cycles. Build resilience and find strength in the face of challenges, trusting that you have the power to overcome. 🛁

4️⃣ Honoring Nature: Connect with the natural world, particularly bodies of water, to honor Poseidon's domain. Spend time near lakes, rivers, or oceans, immersing yourself in their beauty and tranquility. Reflect on the interconnectedness of all life and your role as a steward of the Earth's precious resources. 🎍

🌊💙 Dive Deep, Seeker of the Sea: Poseidon's Blessing 💙🌊

As you journey alongside Poseidon, may his mighty waters awaken within you. Embrace his transformative power, trust in the depths of your emotions, and navigate the waves of life with resilience and wisdom. Let Poseidon's presence guide you to the treasures that lie within the depths of your soul.

🌊💫 Blessed be, dear seekers of the sea, as you embark on the sacred journey with Poseidon's might! 💫🌊

They say my ignorance is a truly blissful sin for Jesus Christ is not my god...

They ask me if I would like to hear their gospel.

They shove pamphlets in my face.

They say "The lord will give you power"

But the lord hates my trauma-cracked face

And they truly believe i am broken.

They bless my "power hungry" sole.

But the horned one teaches me to love myself

to obtain powerful self-control.

Power to the witch 🌙

The horned one begs to shout

His name gives me power

And guarantees me a blissful way out

Everyone says Ares feels like protests and Anger

And he does but he also feels like running to your big brother for help,

Crying into the chest of a man who won’t hurt you,

Someone teaching you how to throw a punch, with no judgement

Someone picking you up when you fall and scrape your self up

He feels like tattoos of a woman with snakes for hair to remind yourself you can’t be broken

He feels like someone finally recognizing the anger and rage inside you with honor and acceptance instead of demanding peace and forgiveness

Yes girls and boys Ares is big and scary and in the spirit of rebellion but he’s also a safe place to run don’t forget that 💕
