Serving the Goddess of Love with Ferocity and Compassion
Join us for our first community event for The Temple of Flower and Flame - this Friday September 12th at 7 pm Eastern US Time (please convert to your local timezone)! We will be gathering for informal discussion and community building, themed around introductions and origin stories. Come and meet fellow spiritual seekers as we discuss our experiences with Paganism, Polytheism, Witchcraft, deities, magick, and our personal spiritual practices.
The Temple of Flower and Flame is a virtual community-driven learning space for you to dive deeper into your spirituality, level up your magickal skills, develop a fulfilling devotional practice, receive guidance on a variety of spiritual topics, embrace your power, and love the amazing being that you are - All with the support of myself and a community of like-minded spiritual seekers!
I am so excited to share this with you! Big things have been happening behind the scenes, and Monday is when it all starts! Stay tuned and I'll see you soon!
A prayer to Aphrodite for easing anxiety and welcoming sleep
I have an exciting announcement to make: I am opening up bookings for one-on-one sessions! Whether you are just starting out on your spiritual journey or you are an experienced practitioner looking to go deeper, I offer one-on-one sessions to help you navigate your path with compassion, care, and love. Sessions can encompass a variety of spiritual topics, such as working with Aphrodite, developing ritual writing skills, adapting your spirituality to fit your life, working through issues within Aphrodite’s spheres of influence, and so much more.
I've recorded this guided meditation so that it is easier to follow along! See the original post here: A Meditation to Meet Aphrodite
I am not the best at social media - It’s always better to directly follow my blog (and join our Modern Temple of Aphrodite Discord Community if you are interested!). Despite this, I have made the foray into Bluesky and I am quite liking it so far! If you’re on that platform, let’s connect!
One of the most consistent devotions to Aphrodite that I have practiced for the past (almost!) two years is nail painting/art. I’ve never been good at taking care of my hands. Even before things got really bad and I got my official OCD diagnosis, I washed them way too much. Finding the joyful self-care of painting my nails as a devotional activity for Aphrodite has helped me to treat my hands better.
Once you have made space for Aphrodite in your life and invited Her in, it is time to focus on the work of deepening your relationship with Her. Cultivating a relationship with the Goddess involves declaring your intentions, opening a dialogue, listening, practicing reciprocity, and staying dedicated and persistent.
I thought it would be nice to start off the new year with an affirmation: I trust in my joy. Do you currently trust in your joy? What is your relationship to joy and pleasure? Do you embrace joy or shy away from it? How does joy show up in your life? How does it impact the decisions you make and how you show up in the world?
