I dunno if you realized but you may be incorrect. Astarte is most definitely Aphrodite, as well as Athena, Minerva, Venus, Ishtar, Amaterasu, Isis etc... easy way to tell is when you search about Ishtar you get a list of equivalent deities. Just as well I run a checklist (sun behind the head, lion, something to do with love or motherhood, warrior)
reason I say may, is that it does occasionally occur that a deity may represent multiple daemons, so it might be your guardian as well, since they are a little similar.
I don't know for certain whether Leraje is Aphrodite or not.. what I felt in my brain that urged me to stop merely referred to the guy not having legit info, that I would have learned nothing by continuing to read (still read it all after and it had no useful info).
I do see what you mean.. I've already been shocked enough to find that more names of our Father are Dionysus as well as Zeus, making the Greek pantheon of today's books on mythology rather useless when they separate these deities into completely different ones. So it doesn't really come as a shock when you say that Astaroth is Aphrodite (I knew about Isis/Astarte/Ishtar) because it's not the first bit of information I get that strongly collides with mainstream 'knowledge'.
From here to say Astarte may be my Guardian... well lol... I don't think I'm as lucky as to have Father's Daughter as a Guardian as well, but I have to say I THINK I saw Astaroth once. It was maybe in February, a less than a month since I had started to built my heavy RTR routine and meditating on the Gods. It was when I even made a post about Zeus, asking for information, as I felt Him so close.. maybe I'm close to 'the Air aspect of Satan'? Thing is.. I had done my evening RTR and after it I briefly meditated, thinking of how I wanted to know more about Zeus.. next thing I know, I
feel Father's appreciation for my work and dedication (when this happens I COULDN'T be happier!
even now I got tears, fuck.. lol), and my mind is bathed with a strong vision. I thought it was going to be Satan "OR Zeus" (not realizing they're one and the same) but I see this ...PERFECT female, a blonde Goddess unlike I have seen before. She felt stronger than even Leraje and Haures.. had a Greek style white toga with folds, sleeveless and with what looked like golden adornments, a simple golden belt and possibly golden buckles on her shoulders... and, something VERY distinctive about Her, Her aura was super electric...
Oh fuck...
Dude, I just remembered. Yellow lightning.
Brother, I think you need to read this.
This Goddess' aura was super electric, almost like She was surrounded by strong gold yellow sparks, and it felt... well, so damn strong! I just realized this "yellow lightning", I have seen it before.
This Goddess that I saw, Brother ChaosBringer666, I am almost SURE She was Astaroth.
Not only that, but I think I've seen Her before, one morning when I meditated at work. I had thought I saw Furfur, wavy hair in a tail, blue eyes.. the clothing was nothing I'd seen, looking more like a country girl to be honest, but the colors were RED and BLUE... I am not sure, but something tells me these colors have to do with Astaroth.
How did I not think of this before??
Sorry guys, right now it feels more like I am
divinating than writing a post on the forum. I see so clearly things that I had missed before... are you really wrong, Brother Chaos, to say Astarte is my Guardian as well? I don't know.
What I can tell you is that "I love Her". Obviously not in the 'oh no he's deluded and think she's his succubus' way... it's a much more... foreign "love". It's like I feel the family I belong to in Her, like a dear sister... a really, really close sister. I don't know if that makes sense. On the other hand this post feels weird, I am typing as I perceive things and now I'm pretty sure I barely even blinked since I started typing lol.
I feel I need to work closely with Astaroth, not only with Leraje. Two Guardians? Not unheard of, I guess, but I don't know. Sounds too good to be true.. or, if not 'good', than too much honor to be true.
True also, there is definitely much more than ONE Demon/Demoness that I feel close to. Raum as well feels familiar. Haures too.
Ok, done for now.. I really didn't expect this post to take more than maybe three lines, hope it's not too confusing.
Hail Father Satan!
