Aphrodite Candle Holders & Altar Decor Multiple Options
These vintage candle holders are ideal offerings for any altar to the goddess Aphrodite or Venus. Each candle holder features symbolism closely associated with the goddess Aphrodite that will make them perfectly at home in her sacred spaces. Altars of many traditions include candles for an endless amount of purposes. Candles can be burned in offering, to build a relationship with the divinity. They can be burned in their honor to call them into the space, requesting their presence and welcoming them into the altar or temple area. They can be burned in supplication, to carry a prayer whispered over the candle to the divinity's ears. Spell candles can be burned on a deity's altar, asking for their blessing on the work performed under their auspices. Whatever you'd like to burn a candle to Aphrodite for, these holders will cradle the candle in her sacred symbolism and uplift the flame to Aphrodite's hands.
