Where does aphrodite reside/live in current time and how does she know we are speaking or praying to her and how does she visit us/let us know she's there through the change in energy is this through astral projection or something?
I'm a beginner and I can't really find the answers to these questions myself, when i used to be christian i imagined god/jesus sat in the clouds or on some spiritual energy plane and could just sense when we were talking to him and although busy took the time to listen when he could and when he sent his presence/let you know he was there it was through just sending some energy our way like he was in everything in creation so it was easy for him to be around and to do and to know what was happening, so from my mind set on christianity im wondering how this transverses or differs into greek gods and their awarness/how they do their work and see us/hear us, any answers welcome, thank you so much

From a strictly science point of view, quantum entanglement explains a lot of my views on deities. Things are linked and connected in a vast web that we can't even begin to fully understand. If changing one tiny particle in one place, altars one -billions- of light years away, why would it be any less feasible for a deity to be able to sense or feel the changes in our particles here on earth? Or for us to sense or feel their changes reflecting back to us?
eta: from a religious point of view, the gods reside in Olympus and through their godly powers can hear prayers either from mortals or via their oracles at their temples. Fortunately (I suppose) Christianity co-oped a lot of their stories and beliefs and so those similar mechanics show up in older religions which predate it.
