[rosary-enthusiast]

Praise be to Lord Apollo, he of golden hair.

May you see his beauty in the curves of your skin, may you feel warmth against your flesh & know that you are good.

See your skin’s color in the light of the sun, see how much more sure you are of your body when you view it in his light.

Young man, see yourself in his image.

Apollon is there.

When the sixty-something man picks up an instrument, because he never got to learn in his youth and discovered a new passion. He thinks he is too old to learn, but something tells him it is never too late.

Apollon is there.

When the lonely kid at the back of the class doodles on their desk to calm themselves. Their creative world is all they have, and that is okay.

Apollon is there.

When the parents are yelling and fighting, and all their child can do is adjust their headphones and turn the volume higher, hoping to drown it out. It'll be over soon, just focus on the music.

Apollon is there.

When a student pours over the chapter they've been studying for the past week or so, trying to dissect every piece of it. When it finally clicks, and it feels like the world lights up as everything they've read makes sense.

Apollon is there.

In the laughter of the children on a warm summer's day. Their fingers are sticky with the ice cold juice they drank earlier, their shoes are long forgotten for the grass is cool enough. Their lives are ahead of them, but they don't need to worry.

Apollon is there.

In the rage of a father, a mentor, an older brother—on behalf of someone younger that was not able to defend themselves when needed. Something can be done. Something will be done.

Apollon is there.

In the ink of the poet, scribbling down every word furiously. Their mind is full, they must get it all on paper. Their words will not stop. When they close their eyes, all they see is light.

Apollon is there.

In the steady beeping of the monitor, as a patient—old, young, somewhere in between—fights for their life. He is there as they make it, and He is there as they don't.

What is this bow-looking hairstyle on the Apollo Belvedere? Is there some sort of historical context or did they just think “this fucks” and move on?

[mythicalmuseomine]

To Lord Apollon, on the seventh day, I am devoted to you.

God of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, knowledge, medicine and logic, the Sun and light, poetry and Leader of the Muses

I sang today a little, I wrote a little, and I thanked the sun. I awoke before sunrise and watched it rise and thanked it. I shall burn candles for you later, my lord, as well as an offering. There are too many things to worship about you, my lord.

Lord Apollon,

Shining son of Gentle Leto and Thundering Zeus

He who inspires artists and poets alike

He who graces Delphi,

you bless us.

From your arrows, swift deaths and lingering illnesses of men

To your medicine, the ill child regains their health.

You, god of the truest prophecies and merriest dance.

You, god who plays entrancingly upon the sweet strings of the lyre.

Ever Uplifting, Ever Gracious, Lord Apollon,

I thank you.

I know that the PJO books are not super accurate and shit but I have to admit being a big fan of the books AND an Apollo devotee, reading this last part in TOA made me cry and I'm not embarrassed about it.

"However, any time you take aim and prepare to fire your best shot, any time you seek to put your emotions into a song or poem, know that I am smiling on you. We are friends now. Call on me. I will be there for you."

Wawawawa, drew Apollon instead of doing my school work (It do be like that dkjasfds.) Also, drawing Apollon in a somewhat more modern time is fun! :^)))) (Idk, man... Idk)

Details of “Apollo & Dionysus” by Leonid Ilyukhin

In some psychological & artistic disciplines, Apollonian & Dionysian are words used to describe opposite impulses- artistic, controlled, skillful, vs hedonistic, emotional & wild.

However, anyone who knows the details of Apollo & Dionysus’ history knows they are very intertwined. They share a reputation of youth & beauty, & Dionysus was said to take domain over Delphi, Apollo’s most holy site, during the winter months. Art & music are key elements of Dionysus’ worship, representing pleasure & luxury. They’re not even two sides of the same coin, they’re puzzle pieces fitting together side by side.

[sunlitpath]

Even when I am spiraling and everything feels hopeless and scary- the gods are there. The gods hear me. The gods protect me. The gods guide me. The gods care about me and show me they’re still with me.

Thank you, Apollo

Thank you, Aphrodite

Thank you, Hekate

Thank you, Tyche

Thank you, Dionysus

Thank you, Hypnos

Thank the gods I am not alone, and I am not lost
