Ok, I am very new to this. I've always been intrigued by Aphrodite, and the wisdom I believe she holds about love. I hold deep respect for what she can teach us all about the higher aspects of love, not just the "lower instincts" of lust, jealousy, etc. Recently, I, a person who has never really opened myself to accepting the possibility of love (in the sense of soul mates, etc), have found myself loving someone more than I ever thought possible. The only problem--this person does not know, and there are obstacles to this relationship. So the other day, I did what I've seen suggested here on this forum and other places, I just called on Aphrodite, kind of introduced myself, and asked her to help me with this. Of course, I asked her to help with the other person's feelings, but more than that, I asked for true, selfless love to be shown by me, and for her wisdom and guidance in learning to maneuver in this relationship.
I think I am receiving messages, actually. When I will think about the person I care for, sometimes thoughts now appear in my mind that remind me that love requires courage, and endurance, and that ultimately I will find what I am seeking. The other night, in fact, I received a minor reassurance within five minutes of calling on the goddess: I had feared a disagreement had caused a distance. But I was wrong. Since then, I've been receiving messages to stick it out, love requires hanging in when things aren't always warm and fuzzy.
So, for those of you who have been about this longer than I, how do I properly honor Aphrodite? I haven't set up an altar yet, not sure what I want to get for her. I'm trying to learn to be sensitive to things, but this is all new. Any suggestions, thoughts, and/or advice? I appreciate it, and thank you.
