Prayers to Aphrodite

[hearthstone]

I felt like I needed some shorter prayers--not every occasion calls for a hymn :), not that mine are terribly long in any case--so I've started work on some.


Beloved Aphrodite,
dearest goddess, most worthy of praise,
I thank you for your blessings.
For love and for passion,
for loss and for longing,
for desire and for fulfillment,
for these I thank you,
for these I adore you,
for these I honor you.

Aphrodite, kind one, fair one,
companion in joy, comfort in despair,
if ever I have praised you,
if ever I have honored you,
if ever I have poured libations
or lauded you with hymns,
bless me now.
