Aphrodite

[(Anonymous)]

You’ve told me twice now to pray to Aphrodite about moving my practice out to my homestead.

I’m really not sure how to go about doing that.

Would you give me some instruction please, or point me to a place to learn about it?

Thank you,

Annette

My advice would be to set up a small altar -- a drawing of her in a decorated child's lunchbox would be enough, but of course you could get more elaborate than that. Then do something ritualistic every night in front of the altar. I say night because Aphrodite is the "night loving" goddess. Put flowers in front of it, burn incense or a candle, or play my Orphic Hymn to Aphrodite, it's a free download: https://queeniemusic.bandcamp.com/track/orphic-hymn-to-aphrodite-new-recording-4-21

You could also dedicate a few discursive meditations to some of her aspects, such as her marriages to Hephaestus and Ares, her origins in Cyprus, plants she likes such as roses and milkweed.

Hope this helps!
