#aphrodite alter
self love potion
- ✨
this potion is great for invoking self love, healing, and calming; it allows you to become more patient and gentle with yourself, encouraging an environment of forgiveness and an inner sense of comfort.
you can pour some in a bath or use culinary grade ingredients and keep refrigerated to drink as a potion, you could keep a bottle by your nightstand, or gift a bottle to a friend/partner, and this would serve as a wonderful alter decor/offering for aphrodite or even fae, there’s plenty of ways to incorporate the potion into your craft!

*for this potion pink or red rose petals would work best but i suppose you could use any! white is also a good option here
**if you don’t have sea/pink salt don’t worry about substituting it’s better to just leave it out at that point, its not for the salts protective qualities but for the calming & healing effect sea/pink salts have!
[now what?]
this one is super simple to put together, all you’ve gotta do is get everything in a pot and simmer it on crazy low heat (barely any action just enough to coerce the infusion together)
strain and bottle up! you alternately could brew it in a bottle on a windowsill perhaps but don’t leave it there too long it’ll go rancid! be careful!
-
as always feel free to ask any questions about the potion/process! i really love this potion and i hope you guys do too!
water salt
encourages calmness, protection, healing, renewal, and understanding. use to represent the element of water for an alter/spell.
- sea salt
- rose
- chamomile
- eucalyptus
grind together with a river stone until combined (sub for whatever you have on hand if you can’t get one ofc), charge using crystals of your personal association, by having it on the windowsill during a heavy rain/storm, or with a blue candle to reawaken before use.
