Im Pagan. My Cousin Is Christian.

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 wish someone missed me. I wonder if anyone thinks of me when I'm not around

since today is friday, i thought i would work on a basic info page for Aphrodite for me to refer back to including her epithets. i’m also counting this as some greek practice, so i’m killing two birds with one stone! i thought i’d share this for others to have!! please note i didn’t include every single epithet, just some of what i considered to be often used. it’s not finished either, i’ll definitely add as i go <3

Yes i like digital circus. I like it very much.

Tip Jar

I need to know if theres any Aphrodite devotees that listen and enjoys the Epic Musical. I personally enjoy it. I love it. Im stuck in the loop.

Everytime Aphrodite is mentioned in God Games- ESPECIALLY THE "Aphrodite~ 🕊️" part I SUDDENLY HAVE THE URGE TO KNEEL AND BOW AND CRY AND DANCE AT THE SAME TIME!

Like eugh just the mention of the goddess I get excited 😭

Ngl I didnt expect this shift when I started worshipping her.
