Xenia - hospitality, generosity
being warm and welcoming to others in Her name, just as She has done for us
Kharis - appreciation, gratitude
being grateful for all the gifts She has given us and showing it through ritual, offerings and prayer
Eusebia - reverence, veneration, piety
recognising that they are deities and showing them our respect. even us godspoused people must show respext to the ancient beings we love
Hagneia - moral, spiritual and physical purity
veiling is a great way to maintain purity, though some other ways include ritual bathing and spiritual cleansing
Arete - excellence, brilliance
follow the path of the gods, whoever's path you choose and follow it to glory
Sophia - knowledge, wisdom
learn, as much as you possibly can. learn about Her, the old ways in which She was honored
Sophrosyne - self-control, sound mind, balance
keeping a spiritual balance during rituals and prayer. try not to ask Her to do your hexes/jinxes/curses, do your own dirty work
Every time I see an absolutely gorgeous altar, it's always for Aphrodite.
If somebody is crazy enough to do it:here are some Greek statues Papercraft!
I'm actually going to try to make this! Also I don't even have a printer so I will have to manually trace and shade it, wish me luck y'all

Do a little extra for yourself - a spa day, new clothes, go a little extra on your makeup even if it is just a normal day for you, etc.
💗Cute altar ideas💗
An altar to Aphrodite should be as beautiful as you can make it. Decorate it with ocean motifs, roses (real or fake), flower garlands, nods to Her sacred animals (doves, swans, dolphins,) art of Her or erotica, rose quartz, pearls, and bright colors that capture feelings of love and the sea. An altar beside a window, on a windowsill, a vanity stand, or somewhere with a mirror. If you need to keep it secret or wish to keep a travel altar, try to keep her altar in a pretty box adorned with floral or sea decorations or something like a makeup pouch.
Having an outdoor garden altar is also a perfect option for Her - make it bird and bee friendly, use organic products (ones without pesticides) on your plants, have bird-feeders around, and have a little place where you can safely light a candle or incense for Her along with an offering bowl and a place for you to sit and enjoy the beauty she brings to you.
