Re: Prayer beads
I had a custom set of beads to Aphrodite made. They are stunning and I can’t wait to use them.

Re: My interests and finding my path
Hello again! I’d like to give an update on things. I’m very happy with Aphrodite. She is wonderful! But after a lot of research I don’t feel connected to Hellenism as a whole. I still feel very drawn to Kemetism. I don’t feel a desire to worship any Egyptian deities though. Could I still incorporate...

Prayer beads
I’ve been reading about prayer beads and I’m wondering if it’s a just a tool for meditation and connecting to a deity then wouldn’t a gemstone work just as well? How do prayer beads differ?

Re: My interests and finding my path
@Siona, thanks for all the info! The more I read about Hellenism, the more I feel it fits me. I’ve also found a really cool podcast called Tea With The Gods.

Re: What is Your Element
My sign element (Sagittarius) is fire which I am drawn to regardless because I like being surrounded by candles. I’m also drawn to water which is weird because I don’t like swimming.

Re: What's On Your Altar, & Why?
I don’t have an altar yet but I’d like to share what I want it to look like. A statue of Aphrodite (where she’s standing in a seashell like the painting), on either side of her will be a pillar candle, one pink and one white, a small scallop shell dish for offerings, a vase for flower offerings, and...

Re: Aphrodite
I feel bad that I can’t honour Aphrodite properly right now, with an altar, statue, and offerings. But I use my rose quartz for meditation to communicate with her, and I sleep with it under my pillow. Do you think she can still hear my prayers and thanks?

Re: My interests and finding my path
Yeah, I’ve read a few articles on Hellenic polytheism. Are there any books you would recommend?

That sounds really cool but I’m not all that crafty.

My interests and finding my path
I’ve been doing a fair bit of research into different paths and practices, and here’s what I’m interested in. Aphrodite as my main deity. I want to continue doing monthly rituals to her (also celebrate any important days to her) and regular meditation/prayers, as well as moon rituals, and the occasi...

Re: Don’t celebrate the sabbats
I guess because I live in the Southern Hemisphere, it seems weird to celebrate them at different times.
I’m more drawn to the moon because it looks so mystical, and I’ve read that magick is at it’s strongest during a full moon.

Re: Aphrodite
Thanks!
Does Aphrodite have any special days/festivals dedicated to her? I know there’s Aphrodisia but I’m unclear when that is celebrated?

Re: Don’t celebrate the sabbats
But isn’t it considered wrong to not celebrate the sabbats?
