How to make someone feel loved <3

Write them a cute letter.

Carefully listen to what they are saying and ask genuine questions.

Wait for them if you notice them falling behind.

Ask them how their day was. <3

Show them your favourite songs, films, and books.

“I miss you”, “I love you, “I’m thinking about you”.

Bake them something. Like the heart jam cookies from Pinterest (should I post the recipe??)

Make them a playlist. :)

If they get interrupted, ask what they were going to say.

Remember their favourite coffee/drink order.

Offer them encouragement and support.

Surprise them with a small gift, something that made you think of them.

Buy them flowers.

Send them links to stuff that you think they might like.

Let them know how grateful you are to have them in your life. <3

As always, Please feel free to add more suggestions and tips in the comments!

Henlo! Saw you answering some asks so here I am to drop by. Random question that idk if anyone has asked before (or if I've ever asked cuz I can't remember shit):

What are the themes you like to explore when you do PACs? Self? Interpersonal relationships?

Hope you're staying hydrated and comfy!

Interpersonal relationships. I did write a post about this before here, but basically I said that I prefer reading about relationships because interpersonal dynamics (an interaction of variables such as personalities, status, power, etc and how they all feel) interest me.

How those variables interact with each other is not something that's easily figured out just through logical thinking alone. I can understand individual's psychology just fine, but when you put different people together and have them interact with one another in a particular environment, it gets complicated. I also think it's because I use Te instead of Fe, so most subtle things that go on in relationships and social interactions go over my head.

Reading tarot about those things help me become more aware and get used to them. Since I can understand individual's psychology, all I have to do is connect different people in a particular environment to each other and see the common pattern in their responses and motivations. Tarot can show that connection logically and clearly; eg. I can understand the impact of Queen of Pentacles on Page of Cups and how it affects the Page's behaviour.

🌊 Subtle Aphrodite Worship 🦪

Make your body wash/shampoo/conditioner rose scented

Have a rose or sweet scented candle that you light (doesn't have to be on an altar)

Create a skin/body care routine

Have perfume/cologne that you dedicate to her

Wear jewelry that reminds you of her

Carry a pocket charm that reminds you of her (dove works well in a Christian household and is a sacred animal of hers)

Keep a small picture of her in your wallet (maybe carry modern art and claim she is a character from something if asked)

Wear a locket with a picture of someone you love or of her

Give compliments to strangers

Drink water regularly and dedicate a glass of it to her

Collect seashells (if possible)

Collect things you simply find pretty

Get a stuffed animal of a dove or swan/have imagery of those animals around (dove works especially well in a Christian household)

Plan your outfits/wear clothes that make you feel good

Keep a journal of poetry dedicated to Aphrodite and love-related topics; can also be a general positivity journal or diary (maybe a diary in a way of writing letters to her but saying a code name instead of "Aphrodite")

Keep heart-shaped imagery around

Embrace yourself; give yourself love

Forgive yourself of past mistakes

Give yourself compliments; start small if needed; I recommend doing this in a mirror

Pin up pictures of loved ones on a mirror or wall

If possible, burn some incense in honor of her; strawberry always has a great smell to it

Watch a love-focused movie (romantic or platonic)

Listen to or read stories about acts of kindness and love

Paint your nails or wear make-up (if you enjoy those things and are able to)

I may add more to this later, but here is my list of subtle ways to worship Aphrodite so far! Worship can absolutely be discreet, and if it needs to be for safety or the like, know that the gods will almost certainly understand. Take care, y'all! 🩷
