30 Days of Aphrodite: Days 9-13 - April 13, 2021

30 Days of Aphrodite: Day 9-13April 13, 2021 7:41 PM / Jessie Serica

Got a little behind thanks to life, but I’m determined to make it through the month so here is me catching up on the days I missed!

Favorite interaction you’ve had with Aphrodite.

I have a ton and a lot of them are personal and private so instead I’m going to share a recent interaction I’ve had with Aphrodite that turned out to be incredibly profound. It will also relate to a later question!

As I was preparing for Aphrodite April, I got a sense that the guest of honor wasn’t too thrilled which of course confused me since I was doing all this specifically for her. I approached her about it and the following conversation took place:

Me: Aphrodite look at everything I have planned for your month!

Aphrodite: uh huh

Me: You don’t seem very happy about it

Aphrodite: Oh you noticed

Me: What did I do now?

Aphrodite: The same thing you did last year

Me: Huh?

Aphrodite: Okay let me ask you. What do you have planned for yourself? For us? All your plans are focused completely on creating content for EVERYONE ELSE.

Me: Oh…

Aphrodite: Yeah, you ONCE AGAIN forgot about yourself and our relationship. So NO I’m not happy with what you have planned.

Yeah, she was MAD. AT. ME! Understandably so since yes we did have this exact conversation last April and here I am making the EXACT SAME MISTAKE.

Considering everything I’ve been going through this month it seems Aphrodite is determined to make sure I don’t continue to make this mistake! She’s like “You will learn to prioritize yourself or so help me!!”

What are some ways you honor Aphrodite?

Most of the ways I honor Aphrodite is through how I choose to live my life. My worship with all my deities is very work based as opposed to offerings based. So I try my hardest to embody the lessons Aphrodite teaches me and to help spread her message of love.

Other ways I honor her are:

  • Sharing drinks/food with her
  • Research her
  • Playing devotional playlists
  • Lighting candles
  • Watching movies/shows that remind me of her
  • Celebrating her festivals and sacred days (like Aphrodite April!)
  • Wearing devotional jewelry
  • Wearing certain items of clothing
  • Talking about her and educating others about her
  • Creating content about her

What lessons has Aphrodite taught you?

The big one she’s helping me with this month is learning to prioritize myself more (I told you that story from a few days ago would be relevant later on!!). After she called me out for not thinking enough about myself for Aphrodite April, she insisted through my April tarot reading that I must learn to balance my life out more. She obviously knew before me what was coming and was trying to prepare me. I was expecting my April to be pretty uneventful outside of renovating my apartment leaving me with plenty of time to do everything I had planned. However, that is NOT how my April is going. It’s all good things but it’s a lot at once which highlights Aphrodite’s warning to not forget myself. It’s easy to neglect your own needs, interests, hobbies, practices, devotion, and growth when so much is being thrown at you. That is why making yourself a priority is crucial. Going forward Aphrodite wants me to first ask myself “What do I need?” before I ask “What can I do for others?”

What is something new you’d like to bring into your relationship with Aphrodite?

I’d like more consistency in our relationship. From me, obviously. I struggle a lot with keeping a consistent…anything. I think having routines and rituals I do for and with Aphrodite on a consistent basis would be great for our relationship as well as my overall wellbeing.

Do you have any personal associations with Aphrodite?
