Love is often portrayed as a powerful force, essential for creating life. Yet, its creative influence extends far beyond the act of procreation. One of the most delightful and overlooked aspects of love’s creativity is its ability to generate smiles.
When we think of love, we might first imagine the profound bond between partners or the nurturing care of parents for their children. However, love’s creativity manifests in many subtle and charming ways, one of which is the way it effortlessly brings smiles to our faces.
Love as a Catalyst for Joy
Smiles are a universal language of happiness, and love is their primary inspiration. When we are in love, our emotional state naturally shifts towards positivity. This state of joy is contagious, often resulting in smiles that brighten our days and those around us. Consider the simple yet profound effect of a loving gestureāwhether it’s a thoughtful compliment, a warm embrace, or a shared laugh. These moments create a ripple effect of joy, turning into smiles that express our inner happiness.
The Science Behind Love and Smiling
Psychologically and biologically, love stimulates the release of feel-good hormones such as oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine. These chemicals promote feelings of happiness and contentment, which often manifest as smiles. Smiling itself can reinforce these positive feelings, creating a loop of joy where love leads to smiling, and smiling, in turn, amplifies the love we feel.
Love’s Creative Expression Through Smiles
Love’s creativity isn’t confined to grand gestures or monumental moments. Often, it is found in the everyday expressions of affection and connection. Smiles that are born out of love can transform routine interactions into memorable experiences. They can bridge gaps, mend misunderstandings, and build stronger relationships.
A smile shared between friends can strengthen a bond, while a smile from a loved one during a tough day can provide much-needed comfort. These small, creative acts of affection showcase how loveās influence extends into the art of living and interacting.
Smiling: A Reflection of Love’s Impact
When we think of love as a creative force, it’s clear that its power is not solely about creating new life but also about enriching our daily lives. Smiles are a testament to loveās enduring impact, reflecting joy, connection, and the deep satisfaction that comes from nurturing and being nurtured.
In essence, love is a continuous source of creativity, and one of its most charming creations is the smile. Itās a simple, yet profound expression of our emotional landscape, made all the more beautiful by the love that inspires it.
So next time you smile, remember that it is a creative gift of loveāan expression of joy that enriches both your life and the lives of those around you. Embrace loveās ability to make you smile and let that smile be a testament to the creative power of affection in your life.
I have been in meditation with the goddess whitout calling her but it ocurred to me that she can be invoqued as the ancients did.
Meditation with Aprodite
Begin by finding a comfortable seated position, either on the floor or in a chair. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, inhaling slowly through your nose and exhaling gently through your mouth. Allow your body to relax with each breath, letting go of any tension or stress.
1.Imagine yourself standing on a soft, sandy beach at dawn. The sky above is painted with gentle hues of pink and gold, and the air is warm and fragrant with the scent of blooming roses. The soft sound of waves gently crashing against the shore fills your ears, soothing your mind.
2.As you walk along the beach, you notice a radiant figure in the distance. She is Aphrodite, the goddess of love, beauty, and sensuality. She stands near the water’s edge, her seafoam-colored gown flowing elegantly in the breeze, adorned with delicate pearls. Her presence exudes warmth, kindness, and an overwhelming sense of love.
3.As you approach her, you feel a deep connection to her energy, a sensation of unconditional love enveloping you. She smiles warmly at you, and with a gentle gesture, she invites you to sit beside her on the sand. As you sit, you feel a calmness wash over you, as if all your worries and fears are being carried away by the gentle waves. You smile.
4.Aphrodite places her hand on your heart, and you feel a soft, glowing light emanating from within. This light is the essence of divine loveāpure, radiant, and infinite. It fills your entire being, from the top of your head to the tips of your toes, warming you with its gentle embrace.
5.In this moment, you are reminded of your own inner beauty and worth. Aphrodite whispers words of love and affirmation to you, reminding you that you are deserving of all the love and joy that life has to offer. She encourages you to embrace your true self, to love yourself fully and without judgment.
6.As you bask in this loving energy, take a few moments to reflect on what love means to you. Think about how you can bring more love and compassion into your life, both for yourself and for others. Let Aphrodite’s wisdom guide you as you set an intention to live with an open heart, allowing love to flow freely through every aspect of your life.
7.When you are ready, take a deep breath and slowly begin to return to the present moment. Feel the sand beneath you, hear the waves once more, and know that you can always return to this place of divine love whenever you need to. Gently open your eyes, carrying the light of Aphrodite’s love with you throughout your day.
Take a moment to express gratitude to Aphrodite for her guidance and love. Know that you are always connected to this divine energy, and that you are a vessel of love, beauty, and grace.
I am starting to get serious about working with my goddess Venus/ Aphrodite. I do have a secret request for her, now two things I need her divine help with (family related)
She has come forth to tell me in advance of my asking what I can do for her, which is excellent because I wasn’t sure, and I was shy to ask.
Aphrodite is the smile loving goddess (the source for this is Ammon Hilman, the philologist. He must have translated that phrase from an ancient Greek source)
Aphrodite’s name in Ancient Greek
Indeed, that was a clue of how to work with her and the indication is: smiling is perceived as beautiful and the goddess loves beauty in all its forms, also, smiling helps us connect. And even further, smiling means we have a certain level of safety, and there is some science on the fact that if we smile purposefully, something something but basically, smiling makes us happier. I am not a scientist, I am a researcher and spiritualist. Let me talk from my spirit loving side. Also when we smile, we might have a higher sense of self love or at the very least contentment, we might be able to manifest more easily if we smile.
Note: You obviously do not smile to the wrong person, if you are feeling unsafe or to someone you don’t like. This is not a patriarchal thing that leaves women a smile girlie in the home. Aphrodite talks of our sexual freedom, she is the baddest. We are reaching as far back as I can and connecting to one of the most ancient goddessess who has been demonized as a harlot by the patrianchy.
My suggestion is to smile to our loved ones ( I blog about divine love, that being a twin flame/ soulmate/ fated love/ family). These are people we are safe smiling around. My suggestion is also to smile to ourselves.
In the radiant glow of the ancient goddess Aphrodite, love and beauty are celebrated as divine forces that shape our lives. But there’s another aspect of Aphrodite that often goes unnoticedāher love for smiles. Known as the goddess of love, beauty, and pleasure, Aphrodite is also a symbol of the power of joy and positivity. In this blog post, we’ll explore the deeper spiritual significance of smiles, inspired by Aphrodite, and how they transcend mere physical beauty to become a powerful force of love, connection, and transformation.
The Smile: A Divine Gift from Aphrodite
A smile is more than just a facial expression; it is a gift from the heart, a radiant energy that can light up the world. In the ancient world, Aphrodite was revered not only for her stunning beauty but also for her ability to spread joy and love through her smiles. To smile is to channel the energy of the goddess herself, offering a moment of warmth and connection to those around us. Smiling is a simple yet profound way to honor Aphrodite in our daily lives, reminding us that beauty is not just skin deepāit is a reflection of the love and light within us.
The Spiritual Power of Smiles
Smiles have the power to heal, uplift, and connect us to one another on a soul level. When you smile, you emit a positive vibration that can resonate with others, creating an invisible bond of love and understanding. This energy is contagious, spreading joy and positivity wherever it goes. In the spiritual realm, smiling can be seen as an act of divine love, a way to share your inner light with the world. It is a reflection of your soul’s beauty, transcending physical appearance and touching the hearts of those around you.
Beyond Beauty: Smiles as a Tool for Transformation
While Aphrodite is often associated with physical beauty, her love for smiles reminds us that true beauty comes from within. A genuine smile can transform a moment, shift the energy of a room, and even change someone’s day for the better. By embracing the power of smiles, we can tap into the transformative energy of love that Aphrodite embodies. Whether you’re sharing a smile with a stranger, a friend, or even yourself in the mirror, you’re engaging in a spiritual practice that honors the goddess and brings more love into the world.

Knots for Venus: Knot Magic with the goddess
On my ebook, I shared a ritual for Venus that works by tying knots as Venus incantations and prayers are said. You can purchase this ebook on my Etsy shop for $1.11:
I am beginning my Smile Challenge for Venus – Aphrodite. The goddess blessed me, and I found out she loves smiles (duh) š š š (these will be my favorite emojis now), so I’m practicing smiling more to connect with her.
I have to sit with this challenge longer before I have insights, but so far, smiling more has been a blessing!
There will be a lot more about this challenge coming soon and eventually I’ll be able to elaborate on the effects it had on me. But for now:

The Smile Challenge for Venus: Exploring the Impact of Fake Smiles
Sometimes, a smile is born, and that’s such a delicious feeling.
Sometimes, I don’t feel like smiling. If I did, it’d feel like a fake smile. Yet, I found that the fake smile is not a bad thing!
When it comes to emotional expression, the smile occupies a special place. It serves as a universal sign of joy, kindness, and connection.
The concept of a “fake smile” may initially seem superficial, but when examined closely, it reveals deeper insights into human psychology and the pursuit of genuine emotional connection. This essay explores the idea behind the “Smile Challenge for Venus,” which juxtaposes the notion of a fake smile with the authenticity of a real one.
The idea is to find the real smiles within, however, when those aren’t coming, practicing with a “fake” smile.
The Fake Smile: An Act of Intentionality
The “Smile Challenge for Venus” invited me to consider the value of a fake smile. At first glance, a fake smile may appear insincere, a mere mask hiding true feelings. However, this challenge encourages me to reflect on the intentionality behind the act of smiling, even if it starts as a faƧade.
The opening lines of the poemā”A fake smile is worth something / Though a real one is a pure win”āsuggest that there is inherent value in the effort to smile, regardless of its authenticity.
Because the authenticity of the smile relies on our deepest feelings and those aren’t as easy to change. In other words, I can’t simply will myself to feel good, but I can force my face to smile, so I will.
A fake smile, when performed purposefully, can serve as a tool for self-improvement and emotional discipline.
By consciously practicing the act of smiling, individuals engage in a form of emotional training. This exercise involves activating facial muscles associated with happiness, which can, in turn, influence one’s emotional state. I think this is science, but do not quote me on it.
The effort to “bring forth the Love within” reflects a deliberate attempt to cultivate positivity, even if it begins as an external action. The idea is to affect the internal world.
The Real Smile: A Manifestation of Genuine Emotion
Contrasting the fake smile is the genuine smile, which is depicted as “a pure win” in the poem. Unlike a fake smile, a real smile is a natural outpouring of inner joy and contentment. It is a spontaneous expression that emerges from a place of authenticity and emotional resonance. The real smile embodies a connection between the inner self and outward expression, creating a powerful impact on both the individual and those around them.
A genuine smile is not merely a physical gesture but a reflection of true emotional alignment. It signifies a harmonious state of mind where joy, gratitude, and love intersect.
When we smile authentically, we engage in a reciprocal exchange of positive energy, reinforcing social bonds and enhancing interpersonal relationships. The real smile, therefore, represents a culmination of emotional well-being and sincere interaction.
Bridging the Gap: From Fake to Real
The “Smile Challenge for Venus” highlights the journey from a fake smile (if needed) to a genuine one. The poem’s concluding lineā”While training my muscles to grin”ācaptures the essence of this transition.
By initially practicing a fake smile, individuals can gradually move toward an authentic expression of joy. This process involves training oneself to align outward gestures with inner feelings, eventually leading to a more genuine and heartfelt smile.
In other words, my inner turmoil has another trigger to adapt, my smile, reminding me that change is possible. š š š
In essence, the challenge underscores the importance of intention and effort in emotional expression. While a fake smile may start as a conscious act, it holds the potential to evolve into a genuine smile through repeated practice and self-awareness. This transition reflects the broader human experience of striving for emotional authenticity and connection.
It’s not just smiling to look pretty or harmless. It is smiling to signal my inner being that a happy feeling is OK.
Conclusion
The “Smile Challenge for Venus” invites us to explore the significance of both fake and real smiles in our emotional lives. It reveals that even a smile that begins as a mere gesture can hold value if it is imbued with intentionality and purpose.
By acknowledging the role of practice and effort in emotional expression, we can bridge the gap between superficial gestures and genuine feelings. Ultimately, the challenge encourages us to cultivate a deeper understanding of our emotions and to strive for authentic connections with ourselves and others.
With Love and Light, And Venus on my side, Eve Lovestar
I removed my twin anklets. The knot magic pair I tied on 8/8. I thought I was not going to remove them until next year or until they broke. But I did it prior to a loving encounter with my beloved. I was surprised and realized it was meant to be this way. I simply wasn’t seeing the whole picture yet when I intended not to remove them. I left them on an altar as an offering because they were charged and I felt called to do so.
I kept the old single anklet made of the same mermaid fabric months ago.
But they were charmed twin anklets…
That is correct. I have been charging this mermaid fabric (obviously, the new fabric is new). What I mean is I’ve used this fabric solely for charmed power pieces. Need me to be specific?
I have been using this fabric for knot magic because I realized it doesn’t tear and it ties easily on top of being fabulous. The knots never untie but are removable. It’s a pretty fun fabric. And I’m a mermaid deep inside.
Being the crafter I am, I immediately turned the mermaid fabric into choker necklaces and lingerie. I have worn these pieces for sexual union with my beloved twin flame, Scorpio. Scorpio loves a siren. š š¤£ š
This conversation is getting spicy, to participate in the secret conversation of my Sex magick practice, please join my new (I have been looking for a safe place to share this) secret newsletter
I first hand sewed the gorgeous dress/ skirt garment and a matching top, both of which I illustrated:
The illustrated necklaces are my tie mermaid necklaces. This dress is the same garment as the skirt below, worn here with a corset.This is my charmed, hanmade, and, of course, unique mermaid lingerie. It’s a 9 piece collection. It has seen a lot of magic.
Is it the sex or the magick?
It’s sex magick
Did I make myself clear?
I have been using knot magic for sex magick.
First of all, don’t get hung up on the word magick: it simply means to do whatever it is with a specific intention and in a ceremonial type of way.
Why does it work? I think it works because of the power of the intention being set. In other words, you can manifest without the magick.
Do you need a charmed piece for knot magick?
Warning: If you don’t believe in it, do not wear it because it will not work! This is the mystery.
These are the twin anklets on 8/8 prior to my tying ceremony
You do not need a charmed piece of clothing or jewelry. You can do anything you wish with the desired intentions and have that work.
The charm piece, I believe, ties a physical item to your intention. It works on your behalf even if you’re not holding the intention at a certain point. It works on an energetic unconscious level. But it’s your intention that will do the magic. In other words, your intention rather than the charm will manifest.
I did create charm necklaces to sell on Etsy, a new thing that just happened this Lion’s Gate season, I’ve learned to do whatever the Lion’s Gate wants me to do, so now, I craft: Write, draw, craft, create, it has been so cool. The below links lead you to my mermaid tie necklaces on Etsy.
Note! You could get one of these necklaces, but they’re not for anyone and should only be purchased by a believer or practitioner. They can be used for a twin flame ceremony, offering, or they could be tied on an altar for Venus (you’ll see my altar when ready). They come infused with the Lion’s Gate energy because that’s when I made them, and that was the intention I set upon them. They’ll also arrive with poetic intention mantras, prayers, or incantations. You tell me your intention, and I transform it into a mantra or an incantation to make your ceremony complete.
Twin Flame Union Knot Magic Ceremony
Knot magic has been used for binding and love magic since ancient times, and the practice remains for a reason: it holds power.
In Ancient Greece, knot magic was also used for fidelity spells and sex magic. In India, a knotted wedding sash blesses the marriage. In Rome, Venus would get knotted gifts.
The idea of using knot magic for love spells is, as I explained, very ancient. By the way, I heard of knot magic from a witch on YouTube (witch of Wanderlust), and it was nothing related to love but instead for protection.
I started using knot magic because it’s extremely easy, and I already do crafts. But then I noticed that it worked. I will not stop using it now.
I created an entire e-book on the subject of knot magick, which you can purchase on Etsy for only $1.11
Tie anklet or bracelet. This could be a special tie or ribbon. Something you can make could be most powerful. It could be something purchased, but make sure the piece aligns with your intention.
An intention for your union
An incantation or alternatively a prayer
Your twin flame’s full approval and assistance. They should share your intention.
Steps
1. Create a powerful intention for your twin flame union: to reach union, to end separation, to deepen the union, to become exclusive. Consider your ideal end result and where you’re at in your union. The best thing you can do is tackle the next step in your journey. Is it communication, safety, or family related? Only you would know.
2. Communicate with your twin flame: this specific ritual is intended for the twins to complete together. If you’re currently in separation, this is not the ritual for you. I asked my twin for his assistance. However, our union being quite strong and long-lasting, I have already asked for his permission for me to use his energy in my magick rituals. He said yes.
WARNING: This will not work if you don’t get your twin’s consent. If you do not have consent from your person, call forth their soul or higher self, they are always available for you, and adjust the ceremony as needed.
3. For my new ceremony: Using a tie anklet, tie a knot for the Divine Feminine, as you tie the know, say the following words:
Incantation for the Divine Feminine
“Goddess on Moonlight, hear my call, Mother of creation, cradle of all, With this knot, I bind to thee, Strength and grace, wild and free. May your power flow through me, Unleashing my inner divinity. In your embrace, I rise anew, Goddess within, fierce and true.”
4. Now tie a knot for the Divine Masculine or ask the masculine to tie it, say this:
Incantation for the Divine Masculine
“Father of the blazing sun, Guardian of all that has begun, With this knot, I call to thee, Courage, wisdom, strength in me. May your force ignite my soul, Guiding me toward my highest goal. In your light, I stand strong, Warrior within, where I belong.”
Now ask your twin flame to tie the anklet around your ankle. This is the Union knot, as it is tied, speak the following incantation:
Incantation for Union
“By the threads of fate, we are entwined, Heart to heart, soul to mind. With these knots, our paths align, Divine feminine, divine masculine, two entwined. Balance and harmony, now we weave, In perfect union, we believe. As above, so below, In this bond, our love shall grow.”
Twin Flame Mantras
Here are eight twin flame mantras to help strengthen your connection and deepen the spiritual bond with your twin flame:
“Our souls are eternally intertwined, growing together in love and light.”
Use this mantra to affirm the deep, spiritual connection you share with your twin flame, reminding yourself that your bond transcends time and space.
“We mirror each other’s strengths and weaknesses, helping each other evolve.”
This mantra acknowledges the role of twin flames in each other’s growth, embracing the challenges as opportunities for personal and spiritual development.
“Our love transcends all obstacles, guiding us back to one another.”
Repeat this mantra to reinforce the belief that your love is powerful enough to overcome any challenges, always leading you back to your twin flame.
“In our union, we find balance, harmony, and divine purpose.”
This mantra is a reminder that your relationship with your twin flame is not just about romantic love but also about achieving a higher purpose together.
“We are two halves of the same soul, destined to reunite in divine timing.”
Use this mantra to cultivate patience and trust in the universe’s timing, knowing that your reunion with your twin flame is inevitable.
“I honor the divine connection we share, trusting in our journey.”
This mantra is a powerful affirmation of the sacred bond between you and your twin flame, encouraging you to trust in the process, no matter how challenging it may seem.
“Our love radiates pure light, healing us and those around us.”
Repeat this mantra to focus on the healing and transformative power of your love, which not only benefits you and your twin flame but also the world around you.
“Together, we are stronger, wiser, and more aligned with our true selves.”
Use this mantra to strengthen your sense of unity with your twin flame, recognizing that your connection helps you both become the best versions of yourselves.
These mantras can be used during meditation, journaling, or as daily affirmations to keep your twin flame connection strong and aligned with your higher purpose.
TMI? Well, this blog is mainly for a feminine crowd and we all have, will have, or have had the monthly shedding. While this topic is taboo, and even my daughters have heard about the dislike and fear of it which is toxic, I have noticed that after a time of a lot of spiritual work and specially growth, my monthly running gets intense, sometimes I can’t move on day one, as it happens with my experience during the Lion’s gate.
Experiencing a heavier period after engaging in intense spiritual work can be seen as a reflection of the deep connection between your physical body and your spiritual energy. From a spiritual perspective, menstruation is often viewed as a powerful time of release, renewal, and cleansing. When you engage in spiritual practicesāwhether it’s meditation, energy work, or deep emotional healingāyou may be stirring up and releasing old energies, emotions, or blockages that no longer serve you.
The increased flow could symbolize the body’s way of purging these accumulated energies, making space for new growth and transformation. Just as your spiritual work helps clear your mind and spirit, your body may be mirroring this process by intensifying the natural cycle of cleansing that occurs during menstruation.
It’s important to listen to your body during these times and honor what it needsāwhether that’s rest, nourishing foods, or gentle self-care. This process can be seen as a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of your body, mind, and spirit, highlighting the importance of balance and self-awareness in your spiritual journey.
However, some people interpret menstruation as a form of detox because it involves the body shedding blood and tissue that is no longer needed, which can be seen as a release of what is old or unnecessary, making way for renewal. This aligns with spiritual or holistic views that see menstruation as a time of cleansing, both physically and energetically. While it’s not a detox in the strictest medical sense, the concept reflects a broader understanding of menstruation as a time of letting go and starting anew.
This is why some typically not super young girls but grown women will talk og honoring our monthly visitor. I guess that is wherre I am today. I am most certinly not a girl and as a mother of 4 girls, I have a need to inform the new generations and at this point, the new generations is not just children, younger women can learn too from the wisdom of a grown woman. I have been the young female learning from a more mature female and it is my pleasure to inspire someone else to honor their body.
I might never tell the story of how I started working with Venus because it is such a personal story. Long story short, the goddess came to me and we had several conversations and I gather she wants me to write about her, make working with her cool, make beautiful Venus art, and lucky for both of us, she loves Venus poetry.
On this long post, you will find a link to my ebook on Etsy, where I shared my Knot Magick ebook which includes a knots for Venus Rome inspired ritual and more:
I call her Venus because I know a little Latin vs no Greek so I could do some work in Latin because I am brave. Also because it is the name of the planet. I actually like the name Aphrodite better. I chose Venus for the language really and I will invoke as Aphrodite if I want to appeal to her most ancient version vs Venus for a more modern vibe. I’ll write about both.
Venus, the Roman Aphrodite
Venus, known as the Roman goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, is one of the most prominent figures in Roman mythology, associated with her Greek counterpart, Aphrodite. She was believed to have been born from the sea foam, emerging fully grown and breathtakingly beautiful in Greece and later in Rome, as depicted in countless works of art, including Botticelli’s famous painting, The Birth of Venus.
Venus as Aphrodite played a central role in many myths, including the Greek story of the Trojan War, where her intervention led to the fateful judgment of Paris and the eventual fall of Troy. I wrote a poem about this. See below. She was also considered the mother of the Roman people, through her son Aeneas, who fled Troy and became an ancestor of Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. Temples dedicated to Venus were widespread in ancient Rome, and she was worshipped as the bringer of love, the protector of gardens, and a symbol of victory and prosperity.
For the ancient myths of Greece, I will use her original name. At a grand wedding feast, the mischievous goddess Eris tossed a golden apple into the crowd, inscribed with the words “to the fairest,” sparking a rivalry between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Paris, a young prince of Troy, was tasked with choosing the fairest, and each goddess offered him a tempting giftāHera promised power, Athena offered wisdom, but it was Aphroditeās promise of Helen’s love, the most beautiful woman in the world, that captured his heart. With a decision that would change history, Paris chose Aphrodite, unknowingly setting the stage for the legendary Trojan War and the death of him and doom for his kingdom.
Ancient Venus Worship
I lost the poem I describe on this piece. I wrote it inspired by an ancient Roman poem which I read while studying Latin online, it might have been on Wikipedia, which I used heavily to find ancient poems in ancient languages. I have a clue where to look for it because I can’t find the poem that inspired it now.
This poem describes a Venus festival in Rome. Clues to take for our modern practice are: dancing in little clothes (I only do this by myself or with my beloved) or dancing in flowing clothes, being barefoot on the ground, what we call today Earthing or grounding, also carefree fun moments. The poet I referred to was a famous Roman poet describing the festival who spoke of girls engaging in the barefoot dance through the streets of Rome and he sounded like he was extremely pleased with the view for one, he was in awe, he was loving it.
Love magic was very popular in Rome (as well as Greece) and Venus was the recipient of many offerings, rituals, and prayers to ask her favors by men to attract love or a lover and by women for the same as well as for fidelity, and probably beauty.
Aphrodite, one of the most ancient goddesses
Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of Love, beauty, femininity, and sex, all excellent things we loved. Prior to the church disempowering females and femininity, as well as the desire of being with a woman, ancient people worshipped beauty, and sex. Aphrodite’s cult was prominent not only for women, men also worshipped her and seeked
My talks with Aphrodite
She has insights about love and sex. Can you understand the meaning of this poem. A person who commented didn’t really get it. I opt to be vague in my sex poems, but I want to know if anyone gets it. Either way, you can receive it’s wisdom from the most ancient Aphrodite. Her magic will make one the best lover, obviously, because she is (if you don’t believe in goddesses, you might resonate with this) the feminine energy: Love, sex, making babies (do you see now why she was demonized?
I am not sure if I can tell you the story of our meeting. I told my lover and it was the most wild thing. I will write some cryptic poetry about that meeting. It was beautiful and I am so grateful that she reached out to me.
Ok, I will tell you a bit: Aphrodite came to me at night when I was trying to sleep and my lover, Scorpio, was already sleeping. I wasn’t sure who I was talking to because I am new at openly talking to spirit, not going to lie, I don’t mean intuition but telephatic conversations to really shock me and get my full attention, I didn’t even think to ask her name, except it became really obvious. After that initial meeting, the communication is more subtle but present as needed and then I initiate the conversation myself. I can hear in the bed and the bath, sometimes while I am working on something. Some of “my” poetry comes from spirit this way, which I might call the muse. This is why I write so much poetry without writer’s block.
I cheekily call myself a channel for poetry, this is why I pull poems from the wind (like in this cool poem)
Note to self: Please fix that typo in inspire (inspired) state
She basically recruited me and then I was hesitant. She talked to me. I asked her to protect my union with Scorpio, she then proceeded to bind us in a spirit marriage. It was absolutely gorgeous. Oh, you did not realize yet the magic of twin flame union and I know you heard of tin flame sex but, they were short, it is even more powerful than any of us know. I’ll be happy to study this forever.
Modern Venus Practice
I will have to talk more about this
Of course, I already told you I want to create a Venus altar, I have changed the idea in scale and design, I want to make it gorgeous, and visible, yet safe from the little hands. I already wrote about this and I will write more as I do it.
Knot magic for Venus. I wrote an ebook with ideas and incantations to use for knot magic, which I use which works. Of course, I didn’t have to tie Scorpio, he tied himself, I had to tie myself. True story, I got a new anklet but this time I tied a knot for my divine masculine, one for the divine feminine, and a final knot to bind the two. I spoke a prayer for the DF, one for the DM, and a final union prayer as I as I suggested I would, I asked my beloved to tie the final knot. By accident, I removed the anklet while changing my clothes and I was super sad, I asked Scorpio to keep it safe, he has it, though he doesn’t knot how magical it is, though I am sure he has an idea of what I am up to, I jokingly told him his soul is mine, but he gave me permission to do magic with his energy, which of course I asked and did. But I don’t use that power against him at all. He wants to keep me forever, of course I am flattered, grateful, and I accept his heart. What was I saying?

I was working in my yard as a plant was not doing well, and I realized it got flooded. Additionally, our peach tree had a rough summer in the AZ summer.
As I got outside, a big storm was coming from the mountains. A mountain range that creates its own weather and is known by the natives as having a God of thunder. I will tell you about this mountain later as it is a mysterious mountain range I can see through my bedroom window, said to be haunted by the locals. I have feateured pictures there, I camped there, have you seen my camping picvtures, I also hiked there, the overnight camping in a tent would have been the more interesting part. This mysterious mountain range is the Supperstitions mountains in Arizona.
As I worked on the yard, very naturally, the following words started coming out of my mouth:
By the power of this storm This plant is sad no more.
By the winds and thunder roar I'm protected as I explore
I welcome the power of the storm, Blessed by the lighting and the thunder's roar
Storm magick harnesses the raw, untamed energy of storms to fuel spells and rituals. Practitioners of storm magick work with the intense power of lightning, thunder, wind, and rain to amplify their intentions, channeling the storm's natural forces into manifestations of change, protection, and transformation. This type of magick is deeply connected to the primal forces of nature, invoking the storm's energy to break through obstacles, cleanse negativity, and ignite powerful shifts in one's life. To work with storm magick, practitioners often perform rituals during a storm, using the elements' potency to empower their spells and connect with the storm's fierce, dynamic energy.
