Glorify the name of Aphrodite Kalliste,
Who bestowed grace and beauty upon dear Pandora,
Who won the golden apple,
Who is a jealous goddess.
Glorify the name of Aphrodite Areia,
Who clothes herself in armor for that which she believes in,
Who fights by the side of her fierce lover,
Matching him step for step,
Who is in every grieving heart for lost loved ones.
Glorify the name of Aphrodite Androphonos,
Who slaughters men who feel entitled to a woman’s body,
Who slays the deserving.
Glorify the name of Aphrodite Pandemos,
Who blesses all people who seek her,
Lady of lust and love.
Glorify the name of Aphrodite Pelagia,
Who was born in the womb of the sea,
And from it sprung fully-formed.
Who was led ashore Cyprus
And there was her holy temple built.
Glorify the name of Aphrodite Philomeides,
Who is love bubbling within the chest,
Escaping in fits of giggles.
She is the love that warms the body.
Glorify the name of Aphrodite Praxis,
The embodiment of sensuality and sexuality,
Striking down those who dare to call the sexual dirty.
Glorify the name of Aphrodite Ourania,
Lady of the heavens,
Who keeps her watchful eye upon her followers,
Swift of action when needed.
Glorify the name of our Lady, Aphrodite,
And she may give you a full life.

💖🌟 Let Venus light the way to grief.
May she reveal to you all obstacles in the way to your truth. May she pull back your hair as you cry over lost plans, lost experiences, lost lives. May she gently guide you away from from mourning when it is time, and lead you to the beauty that makes life worth living.

I almost went to sleep, but then Hermes said this:
"Avoiding your gods because you feel unworthy is the beginning of a downward spiral. We improve what we touch, and make worthy those whom we love."

may your credit card get briefly stuck in the chip reader when you have a long line behind you
may your coworkers point out how tired you look
may you get lipstick on your teeth
may you receive a backhanded compliment that replays in your head for the rest of the day
may your hot date have awful taste in movies/music
may all the produce in your fridge spoil before you get the chance to cook it
may your smoke detector go off while you're cooking
May your pillow never have a “cold” side when sleeping.
May you feel like a rock is stuck in your shoe when walking.
May you always drop your keys before unlocking any doors
May your shower only give you lukewarm water
May your razors always be slightly too dull when you want to shave.
may you receive spam calls often
May your winged eyeliner never be even
may your gravy be lumpy
may all your doorknobs be sticky
may you put down your hot tea/coffee and forget about it until it's too cold to properly enjoy.
may your antibacterial gel leave a sticky residue on your hands
