☀️ 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! 🧡

I am trying to find ways to get closer with Apollo and Dionysus, but I have no clue what to do. I feel so overwhelmed. They have small altars (I don't have much for them unfortunately), but I want to do more for them. But there's so much. There's, like, four different ways to communicate, and there's channeling, and there's all of these things that I don't really understand.
Where should I look to find help? Tumblr has been good to me so far. Maybe you guys could help direct me?

Gone, gone is Persephone! Wailing, wailing! The mother shrieking as the songbird when the cold storm approaches in tears of sorrow and saudade!
português:
Foi-se, foi-se Perséfone! Pranto, pranto! A mãe grita lamentos como o canoro quando a fria tormenta aproxima-se em lágrimas de tristeza e saudade!
*it's autumn here, guys. *saudade is the feeling of the act of longing, it has no translatable counterpart from the portuguese.

Small Devotions
I do small things almost every day to honor the Gods. I wanted to compile a little list below, to inspire others and show them that there’s plenty of ways to honor Them throughout daily life! (I also just love to talk about the things I do for Them 🖤)
• Light a candle for Lady Hestia while cleaning my kitchen and cooking, then offering Her some of what I cook.
• Offering taking my medicine to Lord Apollon and Lord Asklepios
• Offering certain things that I study to certain Gods, and lighting Their candles as I do it
• I make sure I go around roadkill that vultures are eating to honor Lord Ares
• I plan on dedicating my exercise/muscle building to Lord Ares
• Thinking of and honoring Lady Persephone and Lady Demeter as I tend to my family and I’s garden
• Feel the Gods’ presence as I take walks/go to parks
All of these small things make me feel so connected to Them throughout day to day life. The Gods are in everything 🖤

Normalize not giving yourself shit for "not doing enough" for your religion, or not practicing as much as you would like to, especially if you're burnt out. The gods give you understanding and grace, why can't you give it to yourself?

This is the dumbest thing ever but on Wednesday I dreamt of Apollo's red dodge ball.
You know, this thing?
Tumblr media
It was sitting in my sofa. Just there. Chilling.
I woke up like what TF did that mean

Have you ever looked at a God?
In your dreams turn to face Hypnos, God of Sleep Lord of Flowers and Father of Dreams
Have you ever gazed at a God?
His face beautiful with the softness of feathers and his eyes pale blue like gentle delphinium.
Has a God ever gazed back at you?
Love overcome, for You are as precious as the God to you. A God loves you and is devoted as you are His devotee. Hypnos ever so gentle, tending to your dreams as you do His altar.
To Love Hypnos
To be
Loved
by Hypnos

So…this is definitely a very personal post. But…in the next week or so I might be heading to eating disorder treatment….and as ready as I am to kick this things ass once and for all, as I’ve been dealing with this off and on for ten years now. I’m also very scared. Naturally. So I really could use some prayers for healing and courage and all that. It will be very much appreciated. Thank you! ❤️❤️

Oh,how much I love learning about the gods and how much I ADORE searching resources for them.I'm so exicted to read all of them... (I hate the fact that there are so little resources for Lord Poseidon,Lord Thanatos and Lord Ares :,) ).

I've added Artemis, Anpu, and Hermes to my new shelf altars. I have to get more things and candles, but I'm pretty proud of what it's turning into. I think I'll add dionysus to hermes altar, as I was very well acquainted with him these past two years. I look forward to our connection returning.

Etna, my fire chariot ❤️‍🔥

Image description, provided kindly by @blatantescapism
[Image description: four photos of the same wheelchair, customized in a badass, bright, and bold Fire theme. The wheel spokes are done in alternating red, orange and yellow; they probably look amazing in motion. The frame is black and red, with hot rod style airbrushed orange flames. The back support cushion is covered with black and red fire-patterned fabric. The back of the cushion has a punk patch, held in place with safety pins. The patch is hand-embroidered with the image of a person with spiky hair, racing fast, while flames shoot out the back of their wheelchair. All together, the look is fierce and fun in a “just try and stop me” way. End ID. /]
