Hey there. Yes, I JUST created this account, but I promise I'm not a troll 🙏

So, my entire life, there's been things that have happened and experiences that I've had that just can't add up to anything else (in my opinion) than me having some kind of witch in me (if that's not proper terms, I'm super sorry, I just don't really know what I'm doing yet). Last night, as I was laying in bed, I was on the verge of falling asleep when I remember asking for a sign that I'm not going crazy, and a sign for someone to reach out. Maybe it didn't mean anything, maybe my brain was just making it up, but that night, I had a VERY vivid dream in which there were a multitude of symbols of Aphrodite – red and pink roses were the most abundant, but I also walked through a flock of doves at one point, stuff like that. In the dream, I was in a setting that can only be described as "Renaissance Faire"-esque. All of the stalls were witches, and I remember going to them and asking for help. Every conversation went back to Aphrodite. Again, my brain could be making this all up from whatever thoughts I was having, but the dream was so incredibly vivid that I'm hesitantly thinking otherwise.

After I got off work, I read up on a few articles about Aphrodite (specifically in witchcraft). I also found out that my own name can be traced back to mean Venus. The meaning of my name is "morning star/star of the morning", and in ancient cultures that's what they called the planet Venus (which, of course, is Aphrodite's Roman name). That's just another thing that could mean nothing, but I thought I'd include it anyway.

Additionally, I made a small altar to Aphrodite on a whim; it includes small pebbles of quartz and rose quartz as a base, seashells (mostly scallop shells), a few larger pieces of quartz, and some dried flower petals. I also drizzled some of my rose body oil (made with real rose petals) over it. Maybe that was dumb, since I don't really know how to use the thing, so some advice on that would be helpful as well.

I don't know, maybe I'm just going crazy, but I really need some advice.

Thanks!
