✨🌸Blessed be🌸✨
This is a fruit-infused water recipe that I have affectionally coined Aphrodite water because of my personal associations with her and how I use this water. This is my UPG.
This is a simple recipe you probably already make, so why not add it to your magical and devotional routine; its ease of access, easiness to make, and versatility make it a powerful potion, great for spells, or an offering.
As a potion: tailor the fruits to taste and desired magical & health properties. I drink this to connect with Aphrodite and increase my feelings of beauty, self-love, and increase my libido. I am also actively trying to be healthier and it's a good replacement for unhealthy beverages. I often combine drinking this with self-care and self-love rituals dedicated to Aphrodite. It creates an atmosphere.
As an offering: say a prayer to Aphrodite as you prepare it and offer it to her. I will typically keep this on my altar and pair it with rose quartz and sea shells.
Spells: when using for spells, I especially like to use rose petals as a garnish because I feel like it pleases Aphrodite (and me) but it's optional.
Best used in spells for abundance, fertility, self-love, romantic love, and attraction.
Use it to create a spell jar; in this case, I often add flower petals and herbs. I will often also add incense ashes or essential oils in scents associated with Aphrodite such as sandalwood. Depending on the spell, I may write something on a piece of paper and have it dissolve in the water.
Use it to extinguish spells involving fire: when burning bay leaves, or other ingredients for spells as mentioned above, I will extinguish the fire with this water.
*many fruits/plants can be associated, but not all "infuse" the water well enough for it to taste good if you're drinking it.
Pomegranate: said to be first planted by Aphrodite herself.
Strawberries
Raspberries
Blackberries
Figs
Apples: we all know that famous story
Watermelon
Water
Ice (optional, but recommended if you're drinking it)
Lemon, lime, or oranges
Your choice of fresh or frozen fruit that is associated with love, lust, beauty, or sex
Reusable straw (optional, but recommended if you're drinking it)
Rose petals for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Mix a generous amount of freshly squeezed lemon, lime, or orange with water as a base. Add your fruit and ice, shake/stir, then done. For some fruit choices, you may have to allow it some time to infuse. I recommend using a straw as citrus can be hard on your teeth if you're drinking it.
Aphrodite is in every one of us, we are all beautiful
"Multiplicity is an essential feature of the Greek god: Hesiod’s Aphrodite is not identical to the Aphrodite in the Iliad, nor is the Aphrodite of Sparta the same as the one of Athens. Even within the same city, the goddess offers more than one facet, depending on the location of her cults and the epithet she carries."
