About a week or so ago I asked Apollo to help with my pain while trying to sleep, I was laying in bed and, like usual, that hurt to do, and I was having trouble falling asleep. As soon as I asked the pain was almost all gone, and I almost cried, that was what I've been missing out on? It was so nice
I didn't expect it to last more than that night but my pain whole trying to sleep has been almost non-existent since and I'm so grateful
Thank you Lord Apollon, I gave you nothing for it and you helped me anyway, and continued helping me even when I didn't ask, I am so incredibly grateful

A little appreciation for the domains of a deity that don't get much attention/recognition. I'm making this because I do think it would be lovely if the aspects mentioned below got more attention, and additions not mentioned are welcome so long as it's an obscure part of them. This was going to be just a few and then I got carried away and did the main Twelve Olympians
A little love for:
Apollon as the God of Foreigners (the Arcadian friendship's harmony with Hermes being the god of travelers/way-god couldn't be any louder)
Aphrodite as a Goddess of the Arts (anything love-themed falls to her by default)
Ares of Civil Order, Defender, and Of Courage
Artemis as the Goddess of Dancing and equal Leader of the Mousai
Athene as the Goddess of Carpentry, Metalwork, and Sculpting
Demeter as Friend of Peace and Law-Giver
Hephaistos as the one with a delicate touch that creates beautiful works of art (It isn't so much unknown but honestly the thing I love most and not the first thing one thinks of with his talents/image)
Hera as the Skillful Bender of Language, Bender of Oaths and Promises
Hermes, God of Peace/Diplomacy, Divine Protector of All, as well as a God of Poetry and Knowledge (rightfully the other half to Athene)
Hestia of the Earth, Earth Dwelling and Delighting in the Works of Man, The One That Made Buildings
Poseidon of Fertility, the Plant Nurturer, and Holder of the Earth
Zeus of the People, Gracious and Merciful, Of Refuge, Counsellor

To the God of Delphi
O Lord of Ravens,
wolf-fanged hunter!
Father of melodies and
King of health and prophecy!
Hear me sing of you, mighty Apollon!
For my heart is wreathed in
Thy blessed and beloved laurel!
And my life better, for I know thee
The God of Delphi, rich in streams!
I sing of thee and warm gifts thine!
And your propitious harmony!
May we all remember thy divinity
and sing the ever glorious Pean!
português:
Ó Senhor dos Corvos,
Caçador com presas de lobo!
Pai das melodias e
Rei da saúde e profecia!
Ouça-me cantar de ti, poderoso Apolo!
Pois meu coração está envolto
Por teu santo e amado louro!
E minha vida melhor, pois conheço-te
O Deus de Delfos, rica em riachos!
Canto de ti e teus cálidos presentes!
E tua propícia harmonia!
Possamos todos lembrar de tua divindade
E cantar o glorioso Peã todo dia!

I think signs from the Gods are such a funny thing for me, because the signs I get from some of them completely contradict who I am.
The day that I realized Lord Apollon wanted to work with me it was supposed to be a thunder storm, an 80% chance. But when I woke up it was bright and sunny, the sunlight blasting through my window despite my black out curtains. Birds were chirping and I could feel the warmth, the smell of flowers starting to bloom.
Thing is, I hate the sunlight. I live in the middle of the desert, even if it's the dead of winter it never seems to go below 30°F, and even at that low the sun is so bright. I get overstimulated and uncomfortable in the heat and would honestly prefer if it was snowing 24/7.
I know the reasons I resonate with Lord Apollon. I'm very artistic, I play the flute, the piano, the ukulele, I'm a choir kid at heart. I love nature. I have a special interest in snakes, I absolutely lose my mind over cows, mice/rats, wolves, foxes. I would love to learn archery and have always been interested in it.
Signs don't always show why they want to work with you, I suppose is my point.
