Join the Modern Temple of Aphrodite Community on Discord!
I'm excited to announce the virtual Modern Temple of Aphrodite community, hosted on Discord! Over the years, I have received countless emails from spiritual seekers expressing the desire for community with other people who work with Aphrodite. This inspired me to create an online temple community where people from a variety of spiritual paths and experience levels can come together. It is my hope that together we will cultivate a supportive and vibrant community of devotees where we can share our experiences, ask questions and learn from each other, and bask in the joy that is Aphrodite.
Connecting with Aphrodite: A Ritual Template – Follow-Through
There’s one more crucial step that needs to happen to integrate the ritual you just performed with the rest of your life, and that’s: Follow-Through. The essence of Follow-Through is to integrate and enact - We take the “spiritual” ritual experience and apply it to our “mundane” life (all while knowing there is no true distinction between these two categories).
Beltane Ritual 2024 – You Deserve Joy!
I led the following Beltane ritual on calling more joy into your life for my Pagan group last Sunday. Today (May 1st) is traditional Beltane. Astronomical Beltane (the official calendar midpoint between the spring equinox and the summer solstice) falls on May 4th this year. To me, Beltane is a season - I celebrate for about a fortnight centered around the beginning of May.
Connecting with Aphrodite: A Ritual Template – Purpose
We’ve now arrived at the heart of the ritual: your Purpose. This is the Why - the driving force behind your ritual. There are a few major categories of ritual purposes (which can absolutely overlap): Holy/Sacred Days; Honoring the Divine, including deities, spirits, elements, and other energies; Working Magick; Performing Divination; Receiving Messages from the Divine; and Communing with the Divine. Read on to find out more!
Chant for Aphrodite
A chant (maybe bordering on a song?) for Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, for meditation, trance, ritual, prayer, and invocation.
Beltane 2023 – Embodiment and The New Normal
This post is part of the Beltane ritual I led for my Pagan group last Sunday, but it is also a reflection on tides of energy and the practice of embodiment, and is applicable well beyond this particular Beltane season.
Connecting with Aphrodite: A Ritual Template – Invocation
An invocation is a call to a specific Deity/Energy/Spirit in ritual. This can be to ask for guidance, for a prayer or blessing, to assist in a magickal working, to honor them and perform offerings, or for channeling. An invocation is performed with respect and reference, and is always a request and never a demand.
Connecting with Aphrodite: A Ritual Template – Creating Sacred Space
I like to begin each of my rituals by creating sacred space. What exactly makes a space sacred? It can be many things, but the primary attribute of a sacred space is that it brings us closer to the Divine. Some spaces may have an environmental sacred element to them, like beautiful places in nature. Some sacred spaces have been established and maintained by people, such as ancient temples or even the altar area in your home. And other sacred spaces we create specifically for the purpose of ritual.
