Here are some cheat sheets with general information about the Greek Gods which you might find useful in worship but not only!

There is plenty of information I did not include. These are just simple cheat sheets. I could not fit everything in there but this might come in handy if you’re just starting out or want to get to know the Hellenic Gods.

For more information about them, I highly recommend you check out the websites or books I listed in sources!

PSA: Some of the things listed in offerings and associations section are more modern, thus could be regarded as UPGs/SPGs

To preface this, I’m a firm believer in it doesn’t matter what you give as an offering, as long as it has thought and meaning behind it, the gods will appreciate it (with some exceptions). Most things you offer, chances are, Aphrodite will like it. But if you are stumped on ideas, or want to offer her something that traditionally aligns with her, I’ve compiled a brief list of possible ideas. You can alter these things in any way you see fit.

My personal offerings

These are the things I will usually offer her. I’m bad at being consistent and I’m financially limited, so I can’t exactly afford to be extravagant. That’s okay. Thought and meaning is what matters, so I have a few list of things that I have found are easy for me to offer her while being confident it will satisfy her. My favorite offering to give her are apple slices drizzled with honey. Sometimes I will also make her tea—which kind is up on you. I usually go with a black tea with roses. When I can’t bring myself to prepare something, I’ll light frankincense incense. Whenever I bake, I’ll offer her pieces of cookies, cakes, and anything sweet like chocolate. I also once offered her a collage and a friendship bracelet I made for her in recovery. Lastly, I’ll light a vanilla scented candle for her if I have one.

Colors

Pink — love, friendship, self-love

Red — love, passion, romance, intensity

Blue — reminiscent of the ocean from which she was born

White — could represent the color of pearly white seashells, but could also be a stand-in color if you don’t have anything in the colors above

Taking care of yourself

Friday is her sacred day, so many people will give her offerings then, as well as the fourth day of every month, as that is sacred to her as well.

If you’re in a position where you cannot openly give offerings, you can always do libations, which is to pour out liquid in honor of the Theoi—meaning if you have a houseplant, you can water it as a form of libation, or pour out a drink in the sink. An even more subtle offering is filling a glass with water, taking it in your room, and leaving it out for Aphrodite, as water is a life-giving source, so it is equally important as anything else.

If nothing else, in my experience, Aphrodite is most pleased when you are taking care of yourself.
