the ladies' bathroom is the temple of Aphrodite
I make my pilgrimage through the crowd
I dance my way through the beer garden and enter her sacred space
past midnight, the sermons begin
the sink is the altar at the temple of Aphrodite
the priestesses are gathered around one tiny mirror
their giggles and cackles are ambrosia to my ears, the nectar has long before started flowing
it has to, else no service tonight
"oh my god," the high priestess says, invoking the prayer
"you're too good for him," says another of the women
"girl, I love that dress," says the third.
one of them offers her mascara. communion.
the stalls are the confession booths in the temple of Aphrodite
as the godess herself holds a girl's hair as she confesses her sin
"do not worry, child, it is not a sin to live in hedonism," she says, her voice like honey
"stall’s free," the girl stumbles out
it is a mess, the temple of Aphrodite
but not a repulsion. tear tracks are a mark of love,
not for the man who caused the tears but for the girls who wipe them away
you’ll never see them again, but tonight they voice the will of a godess
I ask the high priestess where she got her shoes
it is part of the ritual of the temple, and I have done my part now
"ooh, girl, on sale!" the priestess is pleased.
the godess herself is appeased. I go in peace.
the ladies' bathroom is the temple of Aphrodite
All passion enslaved to Aphrodite, her chains beyond silver or gold Where time will forever surrender, to love—never purchased or sold

𓆩♡𓆪 The Birth of Aphrodite 𓆩♡𓆪
An artwork I did quite a while ago showing my beloved Lady Aphrodite being washed ashore on Cyprus after being born out of seafoam . I did some touch-ups on the original that I wasn't too happy with anymore but kept it mostly the same since I still really really like it !
This piece is based on my favorite painting depicting the goddess's birth , called " The Birth of Venus " by Adolf Hiremy Hirschl

reminder that femininity is divine and feminine figures are art,
not objects for society to sexualise and shame. The beauty of femininity has always been too strong for society to handle, which is why they try to squash us. But nevertheless femininity is divine
women loving women, oil on canvas
sapphic love preserved in art eternally

A Prayer to Aphrodite Areia
Dear Aphrodite Areia,
Protectress of those who fight for what they love
Of women who murder their abusers as an act of self love
Hear my prayer!
I'm praying for you to help me fight against external and internalized homophobia
I'm kindly asking you to help me and my loved ones love themselves
O Smiling Aphrodite,
Please help me get through my mental health problems, so I can smile genuinely again.
With love,
Ligea 🥀
