Drawn to Aphrodite

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!!

I noticed this gorgeous sunrise on my way to school

I don't currently have enough money for a proper alter or offerings so I'm finding alternative ways to worship Aphrodite. I believe that noticing and appreciating nature and Aphrodite's domain is a form of worship. The picture isn't as good as I want because of the dirty bus window, but I think it's beautiful.
