Offerings for Venus

[khokanson]

I was given a great gift from a goddess tonight and was taught a spell to attract love. Part of it has me invoke the goddess Venus, but I wasn't told what to offer her so I was wondering what everyone here would recommend? Thanks in advanced and I apologize for posting so much!

The above page has correspondances listed,so you can offer flowers,burn incense or oils and/or offer fruits from the lists,or utilise some of the other correspondances somehow,in your ritual,like appropriately coloured/scented candles for instance.

Thanks for the awesome list! There's definitely enough here to go off of! I was also wondering what it really feels like when you're invoking a god or goddess. Just want to know what to expect beforehand.

While you are making the offering it would be appropriate to use her orphic humn... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3Tpi_U7ZvY

Also...offer to her semi precious stones like rodonite and moonstone...essential oils,like jasmin and rose and lilac as well as lillys.

When she will appear to you,you will feel like the room is full of soft red and pink lights and the whole place will smell like rose.

Here's her orphic hymn in Greek....

I grow a passion fruit vine, facing east, for Venus and pick the flowers as offerings. Brewed in tea the dried flowers produce a euphoric sensation (apparently when smoked too). The whole passion accent of the plant, fruit, flowers and beautiful feeling from the tea prior to ritual work is the best way I can honor the Illumination of Venus.
