oh god it happened again

[venti-death-watch]

actively exploring an 'opposite' au of sorts which started out as a 'switching role' au--

aventurine is a doctor (statistical analysis) and a member of the genius society. he's so good at predicting what'll happen that some people think he's psychic, and every company out there wants him on their official payroll instead of a contract.

dr ratio's work was stolen by the ipc, and he dropped everything to try to get it back and erase all copies of it, as a world-destroyer is horrifically dangerous in the ipc's hands. at this point, he's just trying to take down the ipc.

sunday & robin were picked up by the ipc after their planet's destruction, and are currently stonehearts (anglesite & moonstone).

Apollo is depicted as a handsome and radiant god who is skilled in many areas, including music, archery, and medicine.

MISC:

Sun: Apollo is associated with the sun because he was the god of the sun and the personification of the sun's light and warmth. The sun was seen as a powerful force that brought life and growth to the earth, and Apollo was believed to control the movements of the sun across the sky and regulate its heat and light. As the god of the sun, Apollo was also associated with purity, truth, and the passage of time, and his presence was often invoked in rituals and ceremonies related to the sun and the changing of the seasons.

Music: he was believed to be the inventor of the lyre and to have a deep understanding of music theory and composition. Apollo was often depicted playing the lyre, and his music was said to have the power to soothe the emotions and inspire the soul. Apollo was also the patron of musicians and singers, and was often called upon during musical competitions and festivals to judge contests and offer inspiration.

Poetry: his name is said to be derived from the Greek word "apo," which means "away" or "back," and the word "poiein," which means "to make" or "to create." As the patron of poetry and the arts, Apollo was said to have invented the art of writing and the alphabet, and he was often depicted holding a golden lyre, which he used to play music that inspired poets and bards.

Snakes: Apollo is associated with snakes because he was said to have control over snakes and could charm them with his music. One of the most famous myths involving Apollo and snakes is the story of the Python, a massive serpent that lived on Mount Parnassus and terrorized the people of the region. Apollo was said to have slain the Python and made the snake sacred to himself. 

Bow and arrows: as the god of archery, Apollo was said to have unparalleled skill with the bow and could hit targets at great distances with accuracy and precision. Apollo's skill with the bow was legendary, and he is often depicted as using his bow to hunt, protect, and defend. The bow and arrow were also symbols of power and authority, and Apollo was often depicted holding them in statues and frescoes.

Laurel wreath: the laurel wreath is also associated with Apollo's role as the god of poetry and the patron of the arts, as the laurel plant was believed to have healing properties that could cure madness and inspire creativity. The Laurel wreath worn by Apollo is a symbol of his victory over the Python and his mastery of the arts.

Ravens: they are often associated with Apollo because they are believed to be his sacred birds. The raven is a bird that is closely associated with prophecy and foresight, and Apollo was often depicted accompanied by a group of ravens that are said to have provided him with information and wisdom. One of the most famous stories involving Apollo and ravens is the myth of the Oracle at Delphi, where the god Apollo would receive prophecies from the priestess, and the ravens were believed to be his messengers.

FACTS ABOUT APOLLO:

His oracles were often consulted for guidance in various matters. He was in general seen as the god who affords help and wards off evil. 

Medicine and healing are associated with Apollo, whether through the god himself or mediated through his son Asclepius. Apollo delivered people from epidemics, yet he is also a god who could bring ill health and deadly plague with his arrows. 

Apollo presides over all music, songs, dance, and poetry. He is the inventor of string-music and the frequent companion of the Muses, functioning as their chorus leader in celebrations. 

He  is an important pastoral deity, and he was the patron of herdsmen and shepherds. Protection of herds, flocks and crops from diseases, pests and predators were his primary rustic duties. On the other hand, Apollo also encouraged the founding of new towns and the establishment of civil constitutions, is associated with dominion over colonists, and was the giver of laws. 

HOW TO INVOKE APOLLO:

If you can afford it, get a statue of Apollo. If you can't, print out a picture, get whatever picture frame you can afford, and put the picture in the frame.

Next, on a bright sunny day, find a place (preferably outside) where you will be surrounded by sunlight and undisturbed. Try to pick a time of day when the sun is directly above you. Bring some water with you. If you cast circles, cast a circle, and feel free to enhance this ritual in any way that makes sense to you. Hold your figure of Apollo up into the sunlight, and chant. What you chant should be relatively short and easy to say. It helps if it contains a rhyme or rhythm to it, but neither is required. It should be in your native language and should say something like, "Apollo, mighty Sun God, fill this vessel with your presence". (Come up with your own words.) Chant them over and over. When your arms get tired, you can lower them, just keep the image in the sunlight and keep your hands on the image.

While you are chanting, make eye contact with the image. You should eventually start to feel that the image is looking back at you. He is. Keep chanting the same words, but let them strengthen the sense of presence and awareness you feel in the image.

Chant as long as you can. Make the god's presence in your image as strong as possible. It's okay to take a drink--your throat will need it--but when drinking keep the chant going mentally until you're done drinking.

When you're done, take the image home and put it on an altar. At least once a day, place some food and drink on the altar for the god. "As above, so below" means (in part) that all items on this earth have an equivalent in the energy/spirit world, and you are giving this food energy to Apollo to enjoy and strengthen his presence. Do not eat/drink the offerings, throw them away or leave them outside for wildlife.

From time to time, also burn incense or do other things that strike you as probably pleasing to the god.

Once you have an altar set up with Apollo, pray to him daily. Make eye contact; part of Apollo's presence resides in your statue/picture. Be open and receptive to impressions, feelings and urges in reply.

Always express gratitude whenever you are done interacting with Apollo.

When you feel you have established a strong bond with Apollo, pray mentally to him, and then pause, waiting for a reply. Keep your head quiet but don't impose quiet in your mind, let it be like clay ready for Apollo's touch. If you keep making progress you will eventually feel thoughts form in your head that you didn't put there. That's Apollo, talking back to you.

He’s been trying not to grab things that look the same as what he’s already picked up, but they all look the same. How are there that many different white gem type things?

Bilbo’s having trouble identifying the Arkenstone (chp. 1)

Arkenrocks by Cimila (AO3) The Hobbit – General #Alternate Universe #Humor #Cultural Differences #Fix-It #Magic #Theft #Attempted Theft #Hobbit Culture & Customs #Frustration

The thing Gandalf neglected to mention when he assured Thorin Oakenshield and Company that Bilbo Baggins of Bag End would be the perfect thief for their mission was this:

A Hobbit wouldn’t be able to tell a diamond from a pearl, or from an Arkenstone - no matter how hard they try.

This leads to some confusion, on Bilbo’s part. And some frustration, again on Bilbo’s part.

(What sort of a description was ‘heart of the mountain’, anyway? A useless one, that’s what.)

Flattened, very sharp cerussite crystals, pseudomorphed from anglesite, of good size and definition, contrasting markedly with the dark, iridescent goethite matrix, which exhibits a metallic luster and spectacular color, allowing the morphology of the cerussite and anglesite crystallizations to be clearly appreciated. The specimen displays all the colors of the rainbow of metallic luster.

ODIN

WHO IS HE?

Odin is the god of wisdom, healing, death, royalty, the gallows, frenzy, knowledge, war, battle, victory, sorcery, poetry, and the Runic alphabet. He is the son of Borr and Bestla, and the King of the gods (the Æsir). Odin is a complex and multi-faceted deity who is associated with various characteristics and symbolisms, such as the raven, the wolf, the spear, and the Runes. He is often depicted as a wise and powerful god who has knowledge of the past, present, and future, and is able to share this knowledge with humans through his gifts of poetry and divination.

BASIC INFO: 

Appearance: in Norse mythology, Odin is often depicted as a tall, old man with a long, flowing beard and a one-eyed appearance, having sacrificed his other eye in exchange for wisdom. He is often portrayed as wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a cloak, and he often carries a spear named Gungnir and a shield named Huscarl. Odin is also often depicted as sitting on a throne and wielding the Runes, symbols that are used for writing and magic.

Personality: he is often depicted as a wise and powerful deity who rewards his devotees with wisdom, strength, and protection. He is also known for testing his followers and expecting them to undergo difficult trials and quests in order to prove their worthiness and commitment. In some myths, Odin can also be depicted as a harsh and demanding god, who expects his followers to be strong and fearless warriors who are willing to fight and die for their beliefs. Despite this, Odin is also depicted as being a patron of poets and scholars and can also be seen as being very compassionate and protective towards his followers.

Symbols: valknut, right-legged horse (Sleipnir), wolves (Geri and Freki) , ravens, spear (Gungnir), cloak, yggdrasil, and the Ansuz, Wunjo, Gebo, and Othala Runes

MISC:

War and battle: Odin is associated with war and battle because he is the god of war. He is often seen as leading the Æsir gods into battle and playing a important role in the outcome of the fights. Odin is also associated with the concepts of strategy and battle frenzy, which are important aspects of war. He is often depicted as a warrior, riding through the battlefield on his eight-legged horse named Sleipnir. Additionally, he is also considered as the god of the slain, as he gains many of the fallen warriors who died in battle in his halls, Valhalla.

Death: he is associated with death because he is the god of the slain, which means he oversees the souls of warriors who die in battle. In Norse beliefs, warriors who die in battle are believed to go to Valhalla, a great hall in the afterlife where they are said to feast and fight alongside the gods until Ragnarok, the end of the world. As the god of the slain, Odin is believed to lead the warriors of Valhalla and rule as their chieftain. This connection to death is also reflected in the fact that Odin is often associated with the rune Eihwaz, which symbolizes death and rebirth.

Spears: he is said to be the owner of a powerful magical spear named Gungnir. Gungnir is said to have the ability to never miss its mark and always find its target, and is also said to return to the hand of its owner after being thrown. According to some myths, Odin obtained Gungnir from the sons of Ivaldi, who were skilled craftsmen and skilled in magic. Gungnir is also said to be one of the three magical weapons that Odin received from the sons of Ivaldi, along with the ring Draupnir and the boar Gullinbursti.

Weapons: in Norse mythology, Odin is associated with weapons because he is the god of war and was said to be a powerful warrior himself. He is known for carrying many powerful weapons, including his famous eight-legged horse named Sleipnir, and his spear Gungnir. Thus, Odin's association, with weapons, is primarily due to his role as the god of war, and his reputation as a powerful and capable fighter.

Ravens: Odin was said to have two ravens, named Huginn and Muninn (thought and memory), who would fly around the world and bring back information and knowledge to him. The ravens were said to perch on Odin's shoulders and whisper secrets into his ears. The connection between Odin and ravens is emphasized through a number of myths and symbols, such as Odin's own nickname as "Raven-god".

Wolves: one of the main reasons why he is associated with wolves because he is the leader of the wild hunt, a supernatural procession of the dead that travels the skies, led by Odin and his band of wild hunters. The wild hunt is often depicted as a group of warriors riding on horseback and accompanied by spectral hounds. Odin is also associated with wolves in other ways, such as the fact that he is accompanied by two wolves named Geri and Freki that are his companions.

FACTS ABOUT ODIN:

He created Geri and Freki while feeling lonely during his travels and battles, so he created both wolves so he could have some company. 

Odin created Huginn and Muninn to help him explore the world and learn about what was happening, they tell him everything they hear and see. The ravens represented Odin's memory and thought, and were considered to be part of him. 

He was gifted Sleipnir by Loki because Odin needed a powerful mount to travel the Nine Realms. 

Odin has many names, including the All-Father, Havi, Fjolnir, the Mad One, the Hanged-God, Graybeard, the One-Eyed, and Shield-Shaker. 

He created Midgard, the home of humans, and Asgard, the home of the gods. He connected the two worlds with a rainbow bridge. 

Odin was not just a warrior, but also a shape shifter. He could turn not just into people, but animals too. He often appears as an old man, probably to symbolise his wisdom, and also so that he wouldn’t be noticed.

HOW TO INVOKE ODIN:

Create a dedicated space like an altar with symbols associated with him, such as runes, ravens, or wolves, offer appropriate gifts like mead or a small sacrifice of food, and perform a ritual involving meditation, chanting, or a prayer specifically directed to Odin, asking for his guidance or wisdom while focusing on his attributes like knowledge and courage; always remember to approach the practice with respect and understanding. 

PRAYER FOR ODIN:

Lord Odin, All-Father, God of the Æsir, Keeper of Valhalla, I call upon you. I seek your protection for you who ride Sleipnir across the Nine Realms, you who command the Einherjar, warriors of old.

Just as your mighty spear, Gungnir, never misses its mark, let your protection find me in my time of need. As your ravens, Huginn and Muninn, see all in Midgard, may your watchful eyes safeguard me from harm. Let your wolves, Geri and Freki, embody fierce guardianship, warding off unseen threats.

I stand beneath the watchful branches of Yggdrasil, beneath the expanse of your gaze, All-Father. I pray for your protection, to guard me from the shadows, to fortify my spirit against fear and uncertainty, and to equip me with the courage to face adversity.

Lord Odin, grant me your shield, not just in the form of a barrier against harm, but as the wisdom to avoid danger, the strength to face challenges, and the resilience to recover from falls. I hail to you, Lord Odin.
