Aphrodite, Paganism

Priestess of Aphrodite on Bluesky!

I am not the best at social media - Itโ€™s always better to directly follow my blog (and join our Modern Temple of Aphrodite Discord Community if you are interested!).ย Despite this, I have made the foray into Bluesky and I am quite liking it so far! If youโ€™re on that platform, letโ€™s connect!

Devotions to Aphrodite: Nail Art

One of the most consistent devotions to Aphrodite that I have practiced for the past (almost!) two years is nail painting/art. Iโ€™ve never been good at taking care of my hands.

Finding the joyful self-care of painting my nails as a devotional activity for Aphrodite has helped me to treat my hands better.

Join the Modern Temple of Aphrodite Community on Discord!

I'm excited to announce the virtual Modern Temple of Aphrodite community, hosted on Discord!

As I mentioned in my last post of Priestess in a Pandemic, Isis came into my life this past year. Her arrival was unexpected but welcome. She showed up when there was need, though I wouldnโ€™t have been able to articulate it then. Our relationship has been transformational and healing.

Priestess in a Pandemic – Part Three

The pandemic brought changes to every aspect of my life, including my spiritual practice. I talked a little bit about this in my Adaptive Spiritual Practice for Pagans posts, and a smattering of other posts Iโ€™ve written throughout the pandemic, but there are some things that I havenโ€™t had the chance to really synthesize into writing yet. Here are a few of them.
