I don't really know a lot of Aphrodite's epithets (very googleable information, I know) but I call her "Aphrodite, She of the Self" because for me personally she's tied to feelings of self worth, self esteem, self love and self care. These are things that I've struggled with in the past and still do sometimes to some extent. And when I am struggling Aphrodite reminds me "hey the person you are now wouldn't put up with that shit that happened to you before and you should be proud of that! You are worthy of loving yourself 💙"

Self-care Check! At 2 PM PDT each Hunt day, stop what you are doing and make sure you can answer YES to these questions. If not: stop & make it so.

How to research traditional witchcraft in your area (mostly for america)

Look up the big stuff first. "Desert witchcraft" "mississippi river lore" etc. Rivers, mountain ranges, and biomes are your friends, and you'll get more results from "prairie witchcraft" than "Iowa witchcraft"

If you live near a natural park, see if it has lore or spirits associated with it. I guarantee you'll get some results about the lore behind Yellowstone or the grand canyon

Bookstores and libraries are your friends! There's no better places to find local lore, recipes, and if you're lucky, some witchy bits.

The local spirits know this land best. Where I live, the spirit of a local hero is a better guide to the land than most who live on it.

Visit the local cemetery, and research those that are buried there (there are almost always large memorials for those who did notable things, they'll be easier to research). Let those buried there call to you while you're there too.

Old. People. Ask them about the monuments, landmarks, superstitions and listen to them.

Tips for baby witches, lazy witches, tired witches, or any witch really:

Enchant your morning cup of tea/coffee

Match the colours of your makeup to your intentions for the day

Visualise the water washing away all the negativity when you shower

Enchant your nail polish (bonus: match the colour to the intention, black for protection, red for love, green for prosperity, etc)

Say your affirmations (for clear skin, fading scars, reducing dullness, etc) when doing your skincare

Charge your perfume with the energy you wish to attract

When tying your shoes, visualise them symbolically protecting you from tripping and “falling” into places and situations that disturb your peace

Use music to your advantage, listen to songs that match your intentions, or alternatively, use music as a tool for divination

Some witches veil to keep their energy from draining and to protect them from others’ emotions, but a beanie works too

If you wear glasses, use them as a tool so that they help you “see clearly”

Put your moisturiser on in the shape of a sigil before massaging it in

Child’s pose is always there for you, use it when you need it (alleviates stress and anxiety, helps clear the mind, releases tension in the back, helps to steady breathing, is overall great for grounding, etc)

Visualise the A+ (on your report card/on the paper after it’s been graded/etc) right before beginning to solve your test/exam, it also helps if you can draw a sigil somewhere on the paper, or trace it on the paper with your finger

When shaving, visualise any energy buildup being shaved off as well

If you play the guitar, draw a sigil on your plectrum/pick for an added boost (this works with other instruments too)

Do not litter out of respect for nature and its spirits

Feel free to add more things onto the list

When you’re just starting out, or even when you’re just too drained to practice your craft like you used to, it can feel like there isn’t enough magic in your life. This is your daily reminder that a lot of the time, the only difference between routine and magick is intent.
