Tip Jar

im pagan. my cousin is christian.

I was doing an urgent art offering to Aphrodite because I didn't make her one or get her one the other day. I usually give her flowers, drawings, poems, maybe lay down some romance book ideas for her. So, as i was doing it my cousin was like "girl im abt to go home and all you care about is aphrodite? Like thats enough stop that- whos more important me or her?" And im like ???? MAAM??

As an ex christian i know that the christian God is their first priority. So, shouldnt she understand the your god comes first thing? cuz personally, I do put Aphrodite first because if it wasnt for her I would be even worse than I already was before her.

AND HERES THE CRAZY PART!! When I looked at her like 👁️👁️ "bitch what" she smiled at me and laughed then DARED SAY "i'll curse her if you dont answer me" LWNSIWHWIWJWK MAAM WHAT KIND OF THIN LINE ARE YOU WALKING ON? A TIGHT ROPE? A PLASTIC LINE?? A PHONE LINE?? WHATEVER IT IS ITS THIN AF!!

I hope its okay now cuz she realized what she said and apologized but I dont think she apologized to Aphrodite but at me. I asked Aphrodite to forgive her but like im not sure if she did cuz THE "WILL CURSE APHRODITE" PART IS CRAZY CUZ- im sorry human cursing a deity??

I also dont think she realized Christianity has similar practices with Pagans esp with offerings. Like she scoffed when I told her "yeah, we give offerings" LIKE MAAM YOU DO TITHES AND OFFERINGS IN YOUR CHURCH???

like this is wild to me as someone who is close to her like bro disrespecting my religion and beliefs bro- YOURE LITERALLY MY COUSIN AND BESTFRIEND??

Might have to rethink things because of how she responds to my practices.

I thought I'm ugly. Sometimes I still think I am. Ever since working and building a relationship with Aphrodite its been like this looking in the mirror:

Me, staring at myself and acne: wow thats ug-

Aphrodite: i dare you.

Me: naturally occuring, im very pretty

Aphrodite: mhm.

Me, just looking at the mirror to see if I look good in my dress:

Aphrodite: YES! GORGEOUS, DARLING! BEAUTIFUL!

Me, passing by a mirror, in the same dress, at the mall: hey i kinda look-

Aphrodite: PRETTY! VERY VERY PRETTY! GOODNESS, SO GORGEOUS

And not only that, I've been able to control my anger better. its like she amped my patience! Yes, I asked her to bless my heart and fill it with love to share with people. And I believe to love is to be patient. Sure, I lose control every now and then but then again, I'm just a human who has a long way to go!

Thank you to Lady Aphrodite for helping me become a better and more loving person to myself and others. A long way to go but the journey isnt loney, I had Aphrodite to hold my hand and guide me to the right paths of life 🩷

Cant stop stressing but thanks for this i think we all need this

Just because you cannot see the strings the Fates weave doesn't mean you should stress. The future may be terrifying, but the Gods work to forge us into the people we're meant to be.

You will be okay when the time passes.

As a newbie, I still have a long way to go in getting to know Lady Aphrodite and understanding her as her devotee. I really want to go full out on my worship to her but I can only do the bare minimum and tiny acts of devotion due to my unsafe environment.

The best thing I can do is offer her pretty flowers that I see during my walk, a frikin leaf, drawings of her that represents my gratitude for her guidance and patience, and a very horribly written poem.

If you're like me, living in an unsafe environment and unable to properly practice Paganism, please give me suggestions on how I can get closer to Lady Aphrodite and be even deeper and spiritual with her.
