Daily Self-Blessing with Aphrodite

Posted by on in SageWoman Blogs

A daily self-blessing and self-consecration at the altar of Aphrodite is a devotional practice that I have been doing for many years as a way to generate a field of love within and around me, so that all I do in the day comes from love and returns to love. Here is one of my daily practice incantations:

Aphrodite of the sea
Friend of dove and sacred bee
Queen of sensuality
Lay your blessing upon me
That I may walk in love and beauty.

I actually set this to music and I sing this blessing. As I do this blessing, I envision myself walking through my day, with waves and sea foam trailing behind me, with flowers growing up wherever I have been, with bees working industriously around me, and with doves flying overhead. I envision that I am a seamless part of the natural world, and that everything is literally made from the substance of love, with love overflowing the fountain of my heart and flowing into the world.

From love to love,
In all things
Below and above.
