[apollons-laurel]

could we ramble about genshin and senrio in dms? 🤣 I'm like itching to answer you post lmao

I'll message from my new main blog @divine-thievery if that's ok with you 👉🏻👈🏻

Yes of course!

Helluu Avery I like pompompurin navia and Tim drake too. Although I like kuromi more because she's purple and purples my favourite colour. I like dick Grayson more than Tim drake though I dont know why, and navia I'm assuming you mean from genshin impact I haven't played since lantern rite and it's killing me I only played navia in her trials I had to scrap the depths of my brain not to buy her because I was saving for another character. I'm sorry i rambled ehehehe I get a little excited when i see ppl with similar likes to me. Sorry 👉🏻👈🏻

Ahh it’s fine! I get excited when I find people with the same interests as me as well!

Fair enough with Kuromi, pompompurins my favourite because he’s yellow! It’s a reoccurring thing for me, the majority of my favourite characters are yellow/orange themed.

To be fair I’m not sure why I like Tim drake more than the other robins, but I like dick Grayson as well (I like all the batfamily tbh)

Yes Navia from genshin! I’ve played on and off since release but when I got her it made me properly start playing again. It’d be nice to know what character you’re saving for! There’s so many new ones that have been released recently

hey! i stumbled upon your blog looking at the hellenism tag :]

i’ve always felt a connection to hellenism for years and truly is the only thing that feels right and constant to me, but i have no idea where i can start a practice/incorporate it into my life. i want to read and learn more about personal practice, but i feel really lost!

sorry if this is a bother!!

Hi there! It’s no bother!

I’d start by looking into each of the gods, theoi.com is a great starting point and has the majority of historical myths on it (it also has titans, heroes and other Ancient Greek related info). This is mainly just to get a bit of starting knowledge in a simple way, other wise it can be a bit overwhelming with all the different gods. This might also lead you to any gods you particularly want to focus on (not devote or anything in the beginning, but maybe you’re a student so lady Athena or Mnemosyne are important to you or it can be totally random, for me it’s lord Apollon and lady Asteria).

After this you can decide how you want your worship to go, and it’s going to be trial and error in the beginning so don’t worry! You might want to start with small devotional acts or offerings (like a portion of your dinner or going for a walk). Who you devote/offer these too is personal. I try to do a range (study related things to Athena or Mnemosyne, health to Apollon or Asclepius, etc) but it’s taken me a while to get to this point (I mainly just devoted things to Apollon in the beginning).

Lots of people post prayers they’ve written but there’s also historical ones you may like to look at (e.g. Orphic hymns) I’ve found this prayer structure/schedule good, but it might be a bit overwhelming (and I’m not great at following it myself)

Resources you might want relating to worship or just original sources will usually have free pdf’s online, but they can be a bit difficult to find. I’m in a few discord groups that have channels for pdfs (hearthfire house & the Raven Masters keep I’m not sure how good/active these links are so message me if you want them and they don’t work) and are also good for talking to other worshippers.

I’m not sure how useful this will be to you, but I hope it helps a bit! If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

Shoutout to lord Apollon for shining the sun on my cat for a few hours <3 she was loving it

[apollons-laurel]

Thank you lord Apollo for not shining your light that much today!

It's been hot for the last few weeks

[apollons-laurel]

I just want to preface this by saying I know that there are issues surrounding some of these terms, but I also know some people use them

This poll is also mainly for those that worship the Greek pantheon but others are welcome to vote as well!

☀️ Subtle Apollo Worship 🏹

Singing/listening to your favorite songs; this applies to any music, though

Listening to music while studying

Playing any instrument

Dedicating a journal to writing poetry or stories

Reading poetry books; reading ancient poetry/stories (especially ancient Greek poetry/stories)

Dancing to any music of your choice

Setting reminders to take medication on time; taking your medication in general

Taking care of your body physically, such as brushing one's teeth or taking a shower

Taking a walk on a sunny day; basking in the warmth of the light

Keeping a pic of him in your wallet

Wearing jewelry that reminds you of him

Keeping imagery of swans, cranes, or ravens around (swans and cranes might be a safer bet if in an evangelical household; ravens may be seen as "too dark")

Having sun imagery around (although he is not the Greek god of the sun, many associate him with the sun these days; he is officially a god of light, however)

Getting a wolf or dolphin stuffed animal (sacred animals of his)

Anything to do with positive and healthy self-wellness

Learning archery

Learning to do divination outside of the obvious (the obvious being tarot, runes, and pendulums, for example; not obvious would be cartomancy, pyromancy, carromancy, shufflomancy, etc.)

Doing homework (yes, really)

Being kind to yourself when you're having a difficult time

Placing positive affirmations on somewhere you'd see them everyday, especially ones about things you're proud of

Checking in with yourself emotionally throughout the day; how are you feeling? What are some good things that have happened so far? What are some not so good things?

Learning about philosophy and taking note of your thoughts on the topic

Learning more about yourself (e.g. make a list of things you enjoy, try new hobbies, experiment with new outfits, etc.)

Expressing yourself through art of any kind

Having a candle that reminds you of him (no altar needed)

May add more later! For now, this is my list of discreet ways to worship Apollo. I hope it helps someone, and take care, y'all! 🧡

Lord Apollon’s section on my altar, I got some new things for him so I thought I’d share his updated section as I love seeing other peoples altars! (+Artemis&Demeter in the background)

[apollons-laurel]

Apollo worshippers make the prettiest altars

[apollons-laurel]

Apollon's hand on a lyre, the warm light of morn, the voice most placid. Apollon's name echoing through day, reaching in and out on streams and on the chirp of birds.

português:

A mão de Apolo na lira, luz cálida da manhã, a voz mais plácida. O nome de Apolo ecoando pelo dia, alcançando dentro e fora dos riachos e no chilreio dos pássaros.
