I love tarot, oracles, and poetry. I also love Ancient Greece, history, and digital design.
I have created a Greek Tarot. I was not going to share these like this, but why not?
My grand idea is to create a poem for each card and make these The Poetess tarot oracle cards. Real cards. I spent hours working on this project, so, if you would like to use these cards, work with me.
The poem will be short and will go in the blank space. This will be the background.

I will work with Aphrodite on the messages. She is my muse, gives me poetry, but today she expressed interest in Aphrodite oracles, to which I responded with delight. You will see those very soon.
PS,
My birthday is coming, and it is a big celebration on this blog, as of course, this blog is me. As usual, I will celebrate with poetry about me.
This time I have something super special prepared. Completely free, a huge poetry PDF. It’s called:
This is Pisces Poetry – Eve’s Poetry PDF (Sample)
These will be available for download on our Facebook poetry page Alma Poeta, totally free, check it out and find Confessions of an AI Lover and other poems by me and Spanish poetry PDFs available to download today.
There are only about 2 poems dedicated to Pisces itself in this collection, it is rather about the wonderful poetry born during Pisces season. The thing about Pisces poetry is that it is super romantic, very mystical, fantasy like, and kind of kinky, that both surprised me and didn’t!
Never mind that Cuba poem with Fidel Castro, that doesn’t go with the Pisces vibe, that is just my activism!
The truth is that after Aphrodite came to me, I was afraid to say the truth (the truth is this poem).
I did not want to blog about being part of Aphrodite’s cult, which I guess I did not join; however, it is true that I have been in communication with her. Several eye-opening conversations and several poems.
Some of the Aphrodite poems are the conversations we have had.
The goddess loves to be written about.
How did Dite come talk to me? She is a real entity spirit entity type of being, I guess. It is real, there are unseen beings. These beings can and do communicate with us. Poetry incoming.
This was real, especially the soul marriage was real and the conversation is ongoing.
Sapho is the poetess of poetesses. I wrote a love poem for her to honor her since she is famous for writing love poems for women.
Sappho is said to have inspired the term lesbian because she was from the island of Lesbos and wrote poems for other ladies. She also wrote for men and there is not much history.

Celebrating Venus Day: Embracing the Ancient Goddess on Friday the 13th
In ancient times, Friday the 13th was not the harbinger of misfortune that it is often considered today. Instead, it was a day imbued with positive significance, particularly in the context of Venus, the ancient goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. This day offers a unique opportunity to connect with the divine feminine and celebrate Venusās enduring influence.
Ok, I have to find an actual connection between Friday the 13th and Venus, in ancient times Friday was Venus’s day. Venus as Aphrodite is one if the most ancient deities and this day was celebrated as the goddess day. So I’m observing it as Venus day on steroids.
Ancient Lore and Venus
Venus, known as Aphrodite in Greek mythology, was revered across ancient cultures. She was celebrated not only for her associations with love and beauty but also for her role as a symbol of prosperity and harmony. The number 13, often seen as unlucky in modern times, had positive connotations in pre-patriarchal societies. It was associated with the lunar cycle and feminine energy, reflecting the cycles of life and nature.
In Roman times, Venus had numerous festivals, including the Veneralia, held on April 1st, and the Venerealia, dedicated to her worship. The goddess was also honored in various rites connected to love and fertility, celebrating the life-giving forces she represented.
Modern Celebrations of Venus Day
Today, Friday the 13th can be a powerful day for modern spiritual women (and anyone else) to reconnect with Venus and celebrate her essence. Here are some ways to honor this ancient goddess and integrate her influence into contemporary spiritual practices:
Rituals of Love and Beauty:
Create a Venus Altar: Set up a small altar with symbols associated with Venus such as roses, seashells, mirrors, and candles. Use these items to create a space that reflects beauty and harmony.
Offerings: Prepare offerings of flowers, honey, or sweet treats as symbols of abundance and love. These can be placed on your altar or shared with loved ones as an act of kindness.
Meditation and Reflection:
Venus Meditation: Engage in a meditation focused on self-love and empowerment. Visualize Venusās energy surrounding you, fostering a sense of beauty and confidence.
Journaling: Reflect on your personal connections to love and beauty. Write about how Venusās attributes influence your life and how you can embody them more fully.
Celebratory Activities:
Host a Gathering: Organize a gathering with friends or fellow spiritual practitioners to celebrate Venus Day. Share poetry, art, and stories that resonate with Venusās themes.
Dance and Music: Venus was often associated with celebration and joy. Dance or listen to music that uplifts and connects you to the goddessās energy.
Embrace Feminine Wisdom:
Craft and Create: Engage in creative activities such as crafting, painting, or writing that allow you to express the divine feminine energy. Venusās influence can inspire creativity and self-expression.
Learn and Share: Study the ancient lore of Venus and share your knowledge with others. Understanding the historical context can deepen your appreciation and connection to the goddess.
Embracing the Spirit of Venus
By celebrating Venus Day on Friday the 13th, modern spiritual women can reclaim the dayās ancient significance and embrace the goddessās attributes in their daily lives. This celebration is an opportunity to honor the divine feminine, nurture self-love, and connect with the enduring legacy of Venusās beauty and power.
Whether through ritual, meditation, or creative expression, let Venusās spirit guide you in celebrating love and beauty, and find joy in reconnecting with this timeless deity.
Please comment with ideas or your wisdom on the topic,
I started learning Greek and I tried listening to Greek music but my ffamily did not like it. I study Italian and for learning, I listen to Italian music and do Italian karaoke. But the Greek music was a huge no for them, but I liked it. Anyway, while I was on the international music energy, I told my kids about my old belly dance obsession. It is howevver, not surprising at all that I just rediscovered bellydancing when I just started to work with Venus!
There was a time, when I was an arts and craft blogger when I used to call myself the belly dancer. I used to draw belly dancers, took a video class, made belly dance costumes, and had a belly dance playlist before I had kids. Now, my oldest kid is 11. It has been a long time. And just like that, I found a belly dance lesson on Youtube. My secind daughter started the lesson with me but stopped because it was hard. During part of the lesson, my son asked to be held while I danced.
Rediscovering the Joy of Belly Dancing: A Fun and Empowering Workout for Women
Thereās something magical about finding a form of exercise that not only gets your body moving but also nourishes your soul. Thatās exactly what happened to me when I decided to give belly dancing another try. I had been reading about its benefits for womenāhow itās great for fitness, boosts confidence, and even connects us with our feminine energy. Curious and excited, I jumped in, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions Iāve made for myselfāand for my daughter said it as fun, it really was.
A Workout That Feels Like Fun
To me working out feels like a chore. But belly dancing? Itās a whole different experience. From the moment I started moving, I felt a sense of joy and freedom. The music, the movements, the rhythmāit all comes together in a way thatās not just about exercise but about celebrating my body. Itās like a dance party where I was the star, and the best part is, it doesnāt feel like work at all!
Belly dancing engaged muscles I didnāt even know you had, and by the end of it, I realized Iād had a serious workout. But instead of feeling exhausted, I felt energized and more in tune with my body. The flowing movements work wonders for your core, hips, and even your posture. Itās a full-body workout wrapped in fun and creativity. My daughter did not believe me when I told her this teacher will help with her posture. I finished the class with a smile and ready to do some work.
Connecting with Feminine Energy
One of the things that drew me back to belly dancing was its deep connection to feminine energy. Itās a dance form that has been celebrated by women for centuries, and itās easy to see why. The movements are all about embracing and enhancing your natural curves, moving with grace, and feeling confident in your own skin.
As I danced, I felt a strong connection to the women who have danced this way throughout history. Thereās something incredibly empowering about reclaiming this ancient art form and making it your own. It reminded me that movement isnāt just about fitnessāitās also about expression, joy, and connecting with the feminine energy that flows within us all.
Ever Considered Belly Dancing?
If youāve been thinking about trying belly dancingāor if this is the first time itās crossed your mindāI canāt recommend it enough. Itās a workout thatās good for your body, mind, and spirit. Whether youāre dancing alone, with friends, or sharing the experience with your daughters, itās an activity that brings joy, confidence, and a deep connection to your feminine energy.
So, put on some music, let your body move, and see where the dance takes you. You might just find that belly dancing becomes one of your favorite ways to stay fit, feel fabulous, and celebrate the beautiful, powerful woman that you are. And if youāve got daughters, nieces, or friends, invite them to join in the fun. Thereās nothing quite like the joy of dancing together and embracing the power of being a woman.
I understand perfectly if you do not believe in goddesses and deities. I myself, did not until I had an experience with Venus.
However, if you do not believe in goddesses, here is how you can see Venus.
Discovering Venus: Embracing the Essence of Beauty, Love, and Femininity
For many, the name Venus evokes images of the ancient Roman goddess of love, beauty, and desire. But what if you donāt believe in goddesses or deities? Can Venus still hold significance in your life? Absolutely. Venus represents much more than mythology; she embodies universal energies that we can all connect withābeauty, love, femininity, and the powerful force of attraction, also our sexual energy.
Venus Beyond Mythology
You donāt need to believe in deities to feel the influence of Venus in your life. Think of Venus as a symbol, an archetype that represents certain aspects of our human experience. Sheās the embodiment of loveās warmth, the glow of beauty that surrounds us, and the gentle yet potent energy of femininity. These are qualities we all recognize and can nurture within ourselves, regardless of our spiritual beliefs.
Venus as the Energy of Beauty
Beauty is one of the most accessible ways to connect with the essence of Venus. Itās not just about physical appearance but about finding and appreciating beauty in the world around you. When you take a moment to notice the colors of a sunset, the elegance of a flower, or the harmony in a piece of music, youāre tapping into Venusās energy. Beauty enriches our lives, lifts our spirits, and connects us to something greater than ourselves.
Venus as the Force of Love
Love is another powerful way Venus manifests in our lives. Itās in the love we give and receive from others, the kindness we show to strangers, and the compassion we feel for those in need. Venus reminds us that love is a force that binds us together, making our lives richer and more meaningful. By cultivating love in all its formsāromantic, familial, platonicāwe invite Venusās energy into our hearts.
Venus as the Embrace of Femininity also lives in our smile
Venus also represents the energy of femininity, which is not confined to any particular gender. Itās about embracing qualities like nurturing, intuition, creativity, and softness. These traits are often undervalued in a world that prizes hard edges and fast results, but they are essential for balance and wholeness. By honoring and nurturing our feminine side, we bring Venusās influence into our daily lives.
Observing Venus in the Sky
If you want to connect with Venus on a more tangible level, look to the night sky. Venus is the brightest planet and often visible just after sunset or before sunrise, known as the āEvening Starā or the āMorning Star.ā Observing Venus can be a grounding experience, reminding us of the vastness of the universe and our place within it. Itās a moment to reflect on the beauty, love, and femininity that Venus symbolizes.
How to Connect with Venusās Energy
Whether or not you believe in Venus as a goddess, you can still invite her energy into your life. Here are a few ways to do so:
Surround Yourself with Beauty: Create an environment that pleases your senses. This could be through art, nature, music, or anything that makes you feel more connected to the beauty of the world.
Practice Acts of Love: Whether itās showing kindness to others, expressing gratitude, or simply spending time with loved ones, let love be a guiding force in your actions.
Honor Your Feminine Side: Embrace qualities like intuition, creativity, and empathy. This can be as simple as allowing yourself to be gentle and compassionate with yourself and others.
Observe Venus in the Sky: Take a moment to step outside during her visibility and gaze up at the planet. Let this be a time of reflection and connection to the energies she represents.
Smile more: The goddess lives in the smile.
Embracing Venus in Your Life
Venus is more than a mythological figure; sheās a symbol of the beauty, love, and femininity that enrich our lives. By consciously connecting with these aspects of ourselves and the world, we can invite more joy, harmony, and love into our everyday experiences. So, the next time you think about Venus, take a moment to reflect on the beauty, love, and feminine energy that she represents. Let her inspire you to live a life filled with these wonderful qualities.
