Aphrodite Is Not Against Trans Or Intersex Individuals.

Aphrodite is not against trans or intersex individuals.

She literally has an epithet called Aphroditus, where she is still Aphrodite just with penis and male name. Just like some trans individuals.

The ancient Greeks were, by modern standards,bigoted. The myth of Hermaphroditos being one myth that can be seen as bigoted. However, even in that myth Aphrodite “cursed” (I prefer enchanted) the pond so her child wouldn’t be the only intersex person to exist. Tiresias, Leucippus, Iphis and Lanthe are literally all myths of transitioning and I love that for them.

Stop using Aphrodite to further your TERF agenda, it’s embarrassing.

May we remain connected to Lord Apollon even through the most difficult times

Happy Summer Solstice to Apollo! We love you Apollo! <3

No thoughts, head empty, only Apollo

You do not have to wait to be 'called' to worship a god.

You do not have to wait until you've seen a dozen signs or omens. You can see 100 and still feel unsure of yourself.

Desire to worship is enough.

Desire to learn from the gods is enough.

Desire to love them is enough.

If you're new to this kind of spirituality, you need to be patient with yourself and give yourself some grace. Looking for signs everywhere will tire you. It will burn you out. More than anything, if you wait to be called, you may perceive lack of communication as rejection and never pursue it at all. You don't have to miss out waiting on something. Sometimes, the initiative on your part is just calling enough. Do it. If it feels right, keep doing it.

If you have love to give, why not give it?

If you've been at this a long time, don't lose heart because you think the gods aren't paying attention. If you want to worship, DO IT. Why not?

Don't wait for signs just to second guess yourself a hundred times and never make a move.

And trust me, I understand that you're afraid of doing it wrong. Do it genuinely. Take it slow, be deliberate. You don't need to master it right away. You don't need an expensive altar. You don't need fancy candles. You don't need a statue. Don't let life pass you by waiting for the money to buy the materials you feel like you have to have in order to be respectful.

The gods don't mind if you're poor or nervous or tired, and they don't mind if you are in a living situation where you can't have those sacred spaces.

Approach. Speak. They will hear you.
