Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love and war. Daughter of the sea, Aphrodite is the goddess of beauty, love and pleasure.
Though she rules marriages and the love within them, she is also the goddess of illicit affairs! As a virgin goddess, she was never claimed (married) by a man.
Self love is by far one of the most difficult things for most women to cultivate within themselves… Aphrodite assists us with self appreciation, self dedication and self love… so, having an altar set up in honor of her in your home is a Goddess Lifestyle MUST! Call on Aphrodite to assist you in learning to fall madly in love with yourself, with pleasure and with beauty in all of it’s forms!

My altar to Aphrodite is set up in my bedroom on top of our dresser. I light a candle and do an invocation to Aphrodite when I’m feeling a little down on my appearance, when I’m feeling in a rut or if I just want to stir up some desire. My husband, Big Mike knows he’s going to get lucky when I light a candle to her (wink)!
I created my altar to Aphrodite on an ornate silver tray, it’s absolutely gorgeous and makes the altar super easy to move around my home, so that’s how I suggest you set yours up too.
Things You’ll Need:
- A Beautiful Tray
- A Statue of Aphrodite
- Sea shells (I purchased two large bags of assorted premium shells in the Florida Keys)
- Star Fish (and other fancy shells – for this altar, I like adding shells that are iridescent and very feminine)
- A Scallop Shell
- A Red Or Burgundy/Pink Votive Candle Holder
- Rose Ritual Oil
- Rose Quartz Mala Beads
- 3 Rose Quartz Gemstone Hearts
- Dried Rose Buds (in red or pink)
- Smudge
Directions:
- Smudge all of your items, the space where the altar will be set up and YOU, to remove negativity.
- Set the tray down in the location of your choosing and place a statue or an image of Aphrodite in the center of your altar. By placing her in the center, you make the goddess the focal point.
- Fill the tray in with the other items; shells, star fish, scallop shell, votive holder, mala beads, rose quartz hearts, and finally the dried rose buds.
- Put a few drops of the rose scented ritual oil on the candle and light it up!
