The ones that are dedicated to Aphrodite are under my posts about and for her. Still, I am linking them here too. I will make separate posts to organize them by creator later.

Spit is an interesting one. I'm from Turkey and here grandmas often spit after praying the evil eye away. It's considered protective. I've never used it for anything though.I usually just play wind chimes on my phone and run it around my room to cleanse.

🫧 what's your favorite method of cleansing?

Thank you so much for the question!!

Generally, I like to smoke cleanse, I often light up incense in my home. It keeps the overall space cleansed, especially my living room. It's handy as well when I'm doing spells to cleanse out jars and such.

Secondly, If it so happens I have no incense lit or it just burned out, I like to use my spit. It's quick and effective. I often spit on my sigils to cleanse them. I sometimes swirling some holy water (or moon water) around my mouth and then "spray" it on my objects.

These are basically my two most used ways of cleansing! :)

In this post I won't talk about her signs but things I find interesting from the video.

💖I don't think I've heard anyone talk about soft fabric and silk spesifically before. But it makes sense and I do associate it with her. She is also a goddess of luxury. Getting clothes, pillows or anything with quality fabric in her honour could be a good idea. 🌸Surroudinding myself with things that make me happy is a skill i need to learn. I grew up being told that it's unnecessary to want things to look nice. I need to work to stop being ashamed of it. I like to look nice even when I'm just watching something by myself at home or sleeping. 🪞If you want to change your appereance, it's not superficial. It's self care. It helps you with confidence and motivation. You aren't immoral because of this. This is how the human brain works. 💐You can gift yourself little things as self-care or spending quality time you enjoy for yourself. Rest is productive. 🦢You shouldn't be ashamed liking certain aesthetics because they are feminine. I'm not really into pastels unlike cedarwood. However I love wearing skirts. I had given up on that in middle school to fit in because everyone was wearing blue jeans. It took me some time to not be afraid to stand out and wear whatever the fuck I want.

💋At first I thought it was nonsense that we are already who we want to be but now I think about it she's correct. I wasn't ugly, I was just unhappy with how I looked because I wasn't dressing or doing my hair how I wanted to.

Ocean Waves Grounding Exercise

Close your eyes and imagine the ocean crashing against the beach. As you breathe in, the waves crest and crash against the sand/rocks. As you breathe out, the water recedes to begin the cycle again. Continue for ten slow breaths. Repeat as needed.

Hellenism Books I have compiled

ahhh so public library for beginners and closet pagans

Also anyone who wants to find an epub file or send one here and DM me :D

I just wrote a very simple focusing potion recipe. You literally only need some black tea, a clove and a sigil. It's in Turkish so I posted it privately to not clog people's feeds. If anyone is interested I'll translate it or just make it public if you know Turkish. Let me know if you are interested.
