I’m trying something a little different as another creative outlet on my blog. As Divine inspiration strikes and I feel so moved, I will be sharing affirmations and little messages with you.

Unexpectedly Aphrodite
I like to think I’ve gotten used to Aphrodite showing up in unexpected ways. I’ve written multiple posts on this blog about how my experience of Her doesn’t usually match the lore, and doesn’t jive with the frilly, superficial way She is often portrayed in modern Paganism. I no longer assume that She will fit into any mold that we humans prescribe for Her. And yet, there are still times when She surprises me.
Connecting with Aphrodite – Creating Space for the Goddess
To form a meaningful relationship with Aphrodite (or any Deity), you need to give Her both the space and the opportunity to show up.

No Words of Wisdom
I wish I had some profound words of wisdom to share with you today, in the wake of the chaos of this week. I don’t. Just this: Take care of yourself, take care of those you love, and do what you can.
We Must Stand For Love.
I've said it before, and I will say it again: We must stand for Love. The chaos and hatred CANNOT continue. The events at the US Capitol today were inexcusable. We must stand together against violence and oppression. We must stand together for truth and justice. And we must stand together for Love. I am reposting this Prayer to Aphrodite. I feel like we need it right now.
