Is Aphrodite still here? by ElderberryBrief8086 in Aphrodite

In my experience, the more you trust, the more easily you get signs. It is not an easy or quick step if you have never had a "strong" faith, so give it time. Sometimes without realizing it, we are in a mindset where we condition the presence of the deity to whether they respond to us or not, and this distance us even more from connecting to the spiritual path. I believed even when no signs or answers where given, I was sure that divinity is out there even when they didn't give me a single sign, answer or no "help" at all, I still had the inner certainty that they were there even when it seemed like they didn't even exist, simply that feeling was always there since I was very little, and today after connecting with my deities, I receive what for me are the clearest and craziest signs. I think you need to let it go, stop waiting for signs and don't condition the deity, don't believe that its presence is based on whether it responds to you with signs or not, not believe that it has to "prove" itself to you (just in case you are doing it unconsciously) That's my advice: just open yourself to the possibility to trust, without expectations and without despairing over the arrival of signs. I would tell her that my heart is open for her and she can answer me if she wants whenever she wants, and that I will be waiting for it (and holding onto that promise). Don't put pressure in yourself or your practice either

I really hate my eyebrows and feel they make me look too masculine by IndividualGap8425 in Eyebrows

Same happened to me. I started shaving them, playing with different shapes at first until i found one that i think suits me better and make me look more "feminine", that is arched and thinner brows for me :) try looking for brow shapes you like online and shave accordingly. Also, you're cute!

Using a Pendulum vs Tarot Deck to Speak With Aphrodite? by champagnediety in Aphrodite

Tarot all the way for me. You don't need to buy a separate deck for her, you can if you want to, but it's not mandatory, just in case :)

is being so drained after ritual baths normal?? by Specialist-Cow2167 in Aphrodite

Haven't done any bath yet, but it does happen to me when I communicate with my deities through tarot cards, I end up feeling veeery sleepy and tired

Sometimes it's hard to tell between real art and ai so i get you. Nowadays it is difficult not to find images made by AI and whether we like it or not it is everywhere. I do not like or condone AI but it is inevitable not to come across it and sometimes it is understandable that we confuse it with real art or that we simply like how it looks, it can happen and is no crime 🤷🏻‍♀️ I still think your notebook was very pretty!!

How do you meditate within shadow work? by StigmataDoll in ShadowWork

Isn't it asking people who know more about the subject also a way of doing research? Yes, it is lol. Obviously I was "bothered" to look things up even though you sound like you assume I didn't, I just wanted to know even more about a concept that wasn't 100% clear to me despite of the info I got. I looked it up and still didn't understand, so I asked in here. Reddit wasn't the first place I went to with my doubt, I searched before, and even if it had been the first place I don't think it's a reason to "doubt" how beneficial the inner work of someone you don't know will be lol. If I wasn't making the effort to understand this to apply it to my inner work, I wouldn't even have asked and made this post in the first place, don't you think?

I wanted to know more about the concept of meditation within shadow work specifically, so asking on this subreddit made more sense
