aphrodite

my devotion

i began honoring aphrodite when i was fourteen. what started as curiosity slowly became a quiet but steady part of my spiritual life.

over time she became connected not only with love, but with beauty, creativity, and self worth. honoring her became less about ritual rules and more about learning to appreciate the world.

sometimes devotion is dramatic. other times it is simple. lighting a candle, wearing perfume, creating art, or noticing beauty in small things.
