Connecting with Aphrodite: Cultivating a Relationship with the Goddess

Priestess of Aphrodite

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.

Join the Modern Temple of Aphrodite Community on Discord!

Priestess of Aphrodite

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

Priestess of Aphrodite

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).

Connecting with Aphrodite: A Ritual Template – Returning to the Here and Now

Priestess of Aphrodite

I use the phrase “Returning to the Here and Now” to encompass a few different ideas, but most fall under the large umbrella of Grounding. Why specifically do we want to ground after a ritual? Depending on what your ritual purpose was, you may feel fairly grounded by the end or you could be soaring up in the clouds or anywhere in between! Grounding connects you back to the Earth, to yourself, and back to this time and place.

Connecting with Aphrodite: A Ritual Template – Gratitude

Priestess of Aphrodite

Gratitude is an essential part of any spiritual practice, whether it is in the context of a ritual or not. It is a part of a reciprocal relationship with the Divine - an energetic exchange with the universe that can cultivate deeper connection.

Connecting with Aphrodite: A Ritual Template – Purpose

Priestess of Aphrodite

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.
