#deity prayer

Blessed Aphrodite,

Goddess of Love, born of seafoam and starlight,

I come to you with an open heart,

Wounded by longing, yet still beating with hope.

Let not false love find purchase in my spirit,

Nor cold hands hold what is meant to burn with warmth.

Teach me to love without losing myself,

To give with wisdom, to receive without fear.

Guard my heart from those who would break it in carelessness,

And guide me to those who cherish with truth and tenderness.

In moments of loneliness, be my comfort.

In the storm of emotion, be my calm.

Aphrodite, divine protector of the heart,

Hear my prayer and hold me close.

artemis, queen of beasts, who runs with the wolves and deer

protectress of her sacred stag and all things wild,

fierce and divine huntress, thank you for your protection.

o excellent torch-bearing goddess, she who lights my path with shafts of gold,

i praise and honor you.

hail artemis <3

God of war, battle, bloodlust, and courage;

Son of King Zeus and Queen Hera;

Father of the almighty Amazons;

He helps us through our battles,

Spurs us to keep going when hope is lost, but our rage is not.

A father, a guide, a teacher.

O, dreaded Ares, come to us now

For you bring us to the forefront of our glory.

Come to us and fuel the fire burning within us.

Great Lord Ares, we thank you.

Please guide me along my journey of becoming a tattoo artist. This is my greatest ambition, my goal career. To create art, to adorn peoples' bodies with creation. Help me not to lose this artistic motivation I've been feeling, and to continue working on and expanding my apprenticeship portfolio.

Many thanks to you, god of the arts, the sun, and medicine. Praise to your shining golden warmth, even in these short days of the upcoming winter.
