Apollo Devotee - Blog Posts

me, praying: “let your deadly arrows strike the evildoers and tormenters in this world, as you have done so valiantly before. vanquisher of evil, shine light on us mortals, and free us from oppressive forces, remind us how you got your epithets!”

Apollon: “… you’ve gotta stop asking me to kill politicians”

me: “please just one arrow you know exactly where to aim it”

me, an individual who has never really prayed or been religious:

Ok, so I know it's not my usual fair, but I just got my Hestia statue for my Altar, and I'm really really happy 😁 she actually came in, I think, a little earlier than expected, which is great 👍

For reference, this is what my Altar now looks like!

So, the statue is pretty obvious, it's definitely the only statue there so far, and it's in praise of Hestia, goddess of the Hearth. Also for Hestia is the big ass painting(made by one of my absolute best friends in the world who is unfortunately not on this app but made it for my birthday 'cause she's awesome like that!!!), and then a couple of basily, minty smells for the wax melter. I also have a more official altar for Hestia that sits on the mantle piece; it's a little mini forest candleholder thing that I made a while ago with a candle that really just reminds me of Her.

The car is for Hermes, god of Messengers and Thieves. It's mainly there because He helps me a lot when I'm driving, and it felt fitting, but there's also a sticker with the number 4 on it(his sacred number) and four flowers that seemed like his vibe. There's also a strawberry because it's one of his sacred foods, but low-key I always forget that, even though I'm constantly eating strawberries 😂 He has some wax scents, but not too many, just because there weren't that many that spoke to me for him.

Right now, all I have for Apollo is a sun sticker with seven crows(both his sacred number and his sacred bird. Fun fact about that, when I was looking for stickers to decorate the altar with, there were exactly seven crows, and I think that's pretty cool), a few scents(mainly summery fresh ones, right now I have a honeysuckle scent that just really spoke to me.), and a ring I got from my grandmother that isn't shown.

I do have a few items such as the ring holder, the smaller painting (made by the same girl who did the big one), and the heart that just seemed to fit. I don't directly pray to any deities that find those items symbolic, but it couldn't hurt to keep them handy, right?

Anyways, I have a bracelet for Hermes coming in the mail that's supposed to come soon, so maybe I'll post that, too. Have a good day!

Digital Offering to Lord Apollo and Lord Asclepius

Digital Offering to Lord Apollo and Lord Asclepius

I hope they can protect you of any sickness and if you have one,they can heal you,have a good Sunday ☀️⚕️

Another Digital Offering to Lord Apolo and Lord Asclepius

Also, part of the tragedies of this day are that my grandfather is in the hospital and today, Sunday, the day of the sun, I hope that Apollo and Asclepius can listen to me on behalf of my grandfather.

I know that as a Hellenic polytheist I shouldn’t trust retellings or modern version of Greek myths. But I was listening to EPIC and I swear that Apollon infused something in these songs, because I can FEEL the anger, desperation, exhaustion, etc.

Especially in the beginning, it's easy to mix up what's a sign and what's just a coincidence! you can get better at identifying the two with practice tho :)

avocados don't have much to do with Apollo or Artemis, so at first glance i'd say it's most definitely a coincidence lmao

if you want confirmation for this kinda stuff, maybe look into other forms of divination like pendulums, tarot, etc. (pendulums are more beginner friendly)

I can't tell if Apollo or Artemis is sending me a sign or not cause I see clouds that look like words that are like in the sun but all I can see as the word is.. is.. is AVOCADO 😭

do they want avocado as an offering

i don't even know where to find avocado but I am in the grocery stores cafe right now

experienced devotees do you understand what's going on ???? Is this another one of them?? I'm so confused

maybe it was another word? The clouds went away when I read the word avocado.
