So, I do glamour magic in honor of working with Aphrodite. In the week that I started, I have not only been complimented on my lip shape, but also been told I smell like chocolate. And all I do is state affirmations while bathing and putting on lotion.

Don’t sleep on glamour magic.

Finally finished this piece! I was hoping to do a little more with it, but sadly, I didn't have that much time and was extremely tired at the time. This one goes primarily for my university assignment :)

17.03.2024 . This is somewhat unrelated because its not a depiction of EPIC's Hermes but i finally gave in on listening to a musical (never been much of a fan of those if its not an animated movie, my bad hamilton fans) but tiktok made me so interested in EPIC i looked it up on Spotify and I've been obsessed for days. I already had the intention to draw Hermes but that gave me the final push. Hermes has an interesting aura/energy about him and although it might look like he's rizzing you up (well and he might be!) it was more of the mischievious but somewhat chill trickster side of him. I do wanna dabble on the depiction of Hermes Trimegistus but I know more about him in concept that I know of his potential appearance in my work. We'll see! HT would be a more mature depiction probably. I liked this a lot and I actually sketched another piece for Hermes but that's probably gonna take a while to see the light of day. I have a Lady Aphrodite sketch done as well and I'm working on an Orpheus & Eurydice piece, but also wanna draw Apollo...and then genshin fanart and then a mini series i wanna do of poisonous flowers portraits :') too many ideas too little energy

I talked to my sisters about Greek myths and the gods that I follow and myths that I love. My 9 year old sister liked it but she couldn't get past all the incest lol. But my 8 year old sister, Avery absolutely loved hearing about it. I talked to her about all kinds of deities last night and she remembered all of them this morning. Her absolute favorite was Nyx, primordial goddess of night. Her favorite thing was definitely the fact that even Zeus was scared of her. This morning she drew a picture of her and she was really proud of it so I wanted to share it here.

"Dead Men Tell No Tales" is actually false. They do tell tales, and once they start, they will never shut up.

Prayer to Aphrodite:

You rise from the ocean

Salty foam drips from your hair

Longer than the sea

Brighter than the stars

You of beauty

You of love

Mother of harmony

Daughter of water

Hear my prayer

Grant me love and beauty

Grace and courage

And be with me

As a guide

A healer

A mother

Now and always

I ask this of you

Amen

Young man, two are the forces most precious to mankind. The first is Demeter, the Goddess. She is the Earth -- or any name you wish to call her -- and she sustains humanity with solid food. Next came Dionysus, the son of the virgin, bringing the counterpart to bread: wine and the blessings of life's flowing juices. His blood, the blood of the grape, lightens the burden of our mortal misery. Though himself a God, it is his blood we pour out to offer thanks to the Gods. And through him, we are blessed.

— Euripides, about Dionysus.

Just wanted to let you know, if you don’t have certain pendants or jewelry for your deity, that’s ok! You could always wear a crystal in their honor and it doesn’t even have to be one accociated with them if you don’t have one. They always appreciate you.

Currently I am wearing rose quartz for Aphrodite and citrine for Apollo, gifts for them. It makes me feel whole to have a peice of them with me.

Even if you can’t get jewelry, do something else, make a poem, color a picture, do something and that still counts as an offering.

They will always be greatful. I hate when people say that gods and goddesses don’t care about us because they do. We are their prized creation. They love us in a way a mother and a father would, but that’s for another time. They appreciate all you do. Even just showering or doing your hair in their honor would please them.

Keep all of this in mind.

things you might need to hear:

— you do not need to be an adult to be respected

— some friendships last for a lifetime, and some friendships do not. vut that doesn't mean that the people you shared your past with will forget you. they will carry you in their hearts

— don’t be scared because it’s ending, be glad because it happened

— peace doesn’t come with ease. it comes with blood, sweat and tears

— youth is not measured by the places you have been, nor the things you have done. it is something within us. it is not necessary to have lived a life of adventure to be a complete individual. you may not have traveled in the physical sense, but you have traveled in your mind, in your soul. you have seen the inside of yourself. you have lived

— forgive those who have injured you, who have wounded you. they may not be deserving. but your forgiveness is important not for them. it is important for you. it is your forgiveness that sets you free, not theirs

— you do not need to worry about being the best at everything. you are an individual - unique and special in your own way. you bring something to the table that nobody else can. your ideas are yours, and they come at the right moment

— do not be sad about being copied. it is a sign that your ideas are good. that they have power. keep striving, keep dreaming

— do not let your intelligence deter you from your dreams. intelligence can be grown. it is not a constant, it is a skill that can be honed through practice. do not underestimate the power of trying and failing. it is the one that gives you a chance to learn and grow. we all start from nothing

— any choices, even if they turn out to be the wrong ones, are vital to who we are. in a way, they make us who we are. one made many mistakes with one’s decisions, but one has no regrets. because one grew from them. besides, you do not have to choose once and stick with it. change is inevitable, a part of the very fabric of life. and with each new experience and failure that comes your way, you learn, and grow

— do not let an irrational fear hold you back from what is your heart's desire. the idea of failure is daunting. but you cannot achieve what you are capable of without first venturing forth. do not spend your time wishing and dreaming, but instead acting. you do not have to be a genius, you only need to be willing to learn. and remember, you can always abandon what you start if you do not find it fulfilling. but the regret of not starting at all is much greater than any failure that might occur

— you have nothing to fear from others finding out about your lies. they are a trivial matter, and your life is much more than just a few tall tales. if they find out, so what? what harm will come? nothing has really changed. you still have your own life to live. stop overthinking. relax. let go of this fear. it will only limit what you can give. you owe people nothing. live for yourself and your desires, and do not worry about the perceptions of others

— that is a normal and natural thought. to want to erase the past, to start all over. but you can't. you can try and erase it, but that would only be in vain. the past is written onto your psyche, in blood, ink and bone. you must carry it forwards, not discard it. and besides, if you could start all over, would you really do it? would you truly give up the life that you have led up till now, your life? it is the sum of everything you have learned and experienced. it is who you are

— only the opinions of those we care about are worth hearing. you can ignore what others believe. who cares? only live for you. don't be scared to make mistakes. we are all but children, trying to figure out this world, this life. don't worry about what other people say or think. they have no sway over you. be who you are. it is a more free way of living

— you do not have to change all at once. It is a gradual process. you do not need to break down who you are in one instant. you need to dedicate yourself to that change piece by piece. one step at a time. one day at a time. let’s make you a little better today. then we can make you a little better tomorrow. and so on. a mountain of stone cannot be whittled into a statue in one fell swoop. it needs to be carved out slowly and steadily

— start small. today may not be the most significant day in the grand scheme of things. but it can be the most significant for you. and that is what matters. if you want to be kinder, start today. be kind to those around you. forgive those who wrong you. if you want to be braver, start today. try something you've been afraid doing, something that makes you scared or nervous. today is the day to start the journey to better yourself. and that is more significant than the grand scheme of things

— do not force yourself to sleep. go to bed when you are tired, when your body tells you it is sleep time. that is when your rest is most valuable, and will be most effective

may Apollo bless you 🙏🌞

this is going to be a weird post mutuals look away i just really need an answer on something and am too embarrassed to ask anywhere else 😭 sorry this is so long.

i have a very complicated relationship with religion. as much as i would love to believe it, my brain just refuses to let me. i’m not opposed to believing in something if my mind does change someday, but as for right now, i just can’t. the only strong beliefs i hold are superstitions like luck and gut instincts and all that, leading me to do research into pagan stuff because it’s the only thing i even sort of find myself believing in.

i’ve always felt a strong pull to hellenic polytheism, and while i guess i do sort of “practice” it, i also just believe that everything i’m doing is for fun and just because i can. i don’t think i truly believe any of it is real. a few years ago, i had two little altars, one to hera and one to persephone. i truly did view these purely as room decor. i wrote little notes that i would give as “offerings” to the altars but it was just a game to me. i stopped after a while because i got bored.

which brings me to the present. i recently started feeling a “connection” to aphrodite if you can even call it that. i randomly started thinking about religion again and aphrodite just stood out to me all of a sudden. for the past few weeks i’ve been “praying” to her but still i viewed even that as just talking to myself or organizing my thoughts. then about a week ago i was in the middle of cleaning my room and i noticed i had a lot of aphrodite-like items. seashells, fake (fake is important) pearls, heart shaped things, dried roses, etc. i had a free spot on my shelf so i put all the stuff together to make a little aphrodite altar. i had a heart shaped jewelry dish that i put at the center in case i ever wanted to put any offerings but i didn’t think i was going to.

then today, maybe two or three hours ago, i was tidying up again and i absentmindedly placed two things on the offering dish. the first was a bracelet from an ex boyfriend that i had had in my main jewelry box and didn’t want there anymore. the second was a five leaf clover (i have a million of them because i’m crazy good at finding them but that’s an entirely different story) because i thought it was cute and lucky. i didn’t think anything of these items, i barely considered them offerings. up until this point all of this was still just for fun. after i finished cleaning, i took a shower. i feel like it’s also worth noting that this was an extreme everything shower like i was really spoiling myself. i read somewhere that acts of self care can also be seen as offerings to aphrodite but that wasn’t my intention.

so finally here’s the reason i’m making this post. i need help. after my shower i was sitting on my bedroom floor brushing my hair. i wasn’t near anything else, it was just me and my hairbrush and open space around me. as i’m finishing braiding my hair, i brush a stray piece to the side with my hand and onto the floor rolls a pearl. a real genuine pearl. it came out of my hair ???? i literally don’t own any real pearl jewelry, and even if i did this pearl couldn’t have come from it because it doesn’t have a hole, it’s not a bead. genuinely how did a real authentic pearl get into my hair. im completely at a loss for words. i feel like it might have been from aphrodite???? i can’t see any other logical explanation. which is what im looking for, a logical explanation. please help me make sense of this 😭🙏🙏
