Self Love Venus Ritual

Self Love Venus Ritual

This ritual is best done on a Friday evening, as Friday is Venus day of the week.

Begin by gathering offerings and setting an altar for yourself and Venus, offerings for Venus can include (but not limited to) — Red, Pink, White Roses or Flowers of any kind (lots!) Chocolate, Milk, Oats, Honey, Sweet Wine. Pink, White, Red candles. Incense flavors of Rose, Vanilla, Amber, Jasmine or any other sweet fragrance. We are calling in an abundance of self love and sovereignty SO it is best to have a full, beautiful, and abundant altar. If you feel called to add anything else to your altar absolutely do!!

You can be naked or wear a garment that helps you to feel free, sensual, and embodied. You can also wear jewelry if you are called to do that, perfume, maybe fix your hair. Prepare yourself as your would if you were getting ready for a date with yourself and dear Venus.

Begin by clearing the space and setting an intentional boundary to protect your container (the protection meditation would be good to do here). Activate the altar by lighting the incense and candles. You can also add more candles to the space you are in, is it best to have fire be the source of light. Next, call in the energy of Venus by dancing and moving your body, maybe you can create a playlist of songs for this ritual, songs that help you to feel sensual, embodied, and self loving.

Once you feel the energy ignited through dancing and breath (maybe like 20+ minutes of dancing and movement, coming truly into your body and allowing whatever emotions that come up to fully flow through you and be expressed)… Sit in front of your altar. Sit in stillness for a few minutes. Feeling the breath of Venus within you, feeling her sensual loving presence. You can take this time as well to spend time loving your body, rubbing oil into your skin, praising out loud all of the parts of yourself. Notice if this is triggering for you, allow yourself to feel into the trigger and to process and integrate these feelings, offering them to the flame of Venus.

Next, using a pen and paper, write down a list of old and limiting beliefs you have about yourself and your dreams. When you are done with that list BURN IT. Ask Venus to take these fears and burn them away. And then, once you have burned these fears, speak directly out loud to the Flame of Venus, share with her your dreams, share out loud what you would like to shift in your life, call in courage, hope, belief, sovereignty, etc. Call in everything you dream of and offer that to Venus.

And to conclude this ceremony take in some offerings for yourself, as this is a ritual not only to Venus but to your divine self. Feed your Spirit.

You can stay in this space for as long as you like, you can wait for the candles to burn themselves out, or you can extinguish them yourself. When you are ready to leave the ritual space, thank Venus, thank your beautiful self, and speak out loud “This ritual container is now dissolved and this circle is open.”
