Hey everyone!!!

I recently started feeling extremely drawn to Aphrodite. I’ve been thinking about her a lot, hearing her name in my head and feeling the urge to constantly read about her or research her. I don’t really notice signs of her specifically wanting me to be her devotee, but I just seem to be drawn to her.

I keep craving getting her an altar, so I can have a space for her and I also keep looking at artworks of her. Whenever I feel lost or sad, I hear her name or think of her and this wave of warmth washes over me and I have this feeling that things will be okay.

What I’m unsure about is whether this is just a hyperfixation or not (I’m neurodivergent). I’m afraid that I’ll get her an altar and that it’ll pass and that I’ll neglect worshipping her.

How do you recognize if the bond is real or if it’s a hyperfixation? Do you guys have any advice on this?

I’m also a pretty busy person and I’m just afraid that I’ll neglect Aphrodite when I want the best for her (may sound a bit stupid, I’m a mere mortal, she’s a goddess).

What things do you start with on your altar? What things are nice to get? Where do you get your supplies?

Also let me just add that I used to be more active in witchcraft, but then had a sudden stop. I’m trying to slowly ease back into it and I’ve been feeling drawn to certain deities, but Aphrodite is very much on the foreground.

Anyway, I’d really love to hear from you!!

Hey everyone!

So I’ve been thinking about deity work (I haven’t practiced witchcraft in a long time and I’m not planning on diving straight into deity work, obviously!!) and I would really love to know if any of you would like to share your experience working with deities? I’m also looking for some resources on certain deities, I’ll name them later!!

But: what is it like to work with the deity you work with? How do you work with them? What’s the story behind it, how did you come to work with them?
I would really love to read everybody’s stories!!!

As for the gods that I’m really interested in and would love to learn more about, I’d say I would love to know more about Asteria, Nyx, Freyja, The Morrigan, Persephone, Aphrodite, Hades, Loki, Hecate, Lilith, Isis, Apollo and Artemis.

I will take any book recommendations, I really love learning more about deities and new pantheons, so if you have a book about a deity that I haven’t mentioned, pls still do recommend it!

Thank you all in advance 🫶
