Hail, O Great God Serapis!

Hail, O splendid Lord of Alexandria,

And ruler over all Egypt!

Blessed Healer who appears to those in need,

Through dreams and visions,

You aid those who suffer,

And defend those who call upon your divine name!

Great are you, and there is no one who is like unto you.

Look down upon me and attend to my prayer,

O Master, O Savior, O Father.

I call on your name like a son calls out to his father.

Hear me, O blessed one.

Zeus

Zeus of the lightning-strike, Zeus of the sturdy oak, we hear you in the clash of thunder, we see you in the bright-lit night, we feel you in the air, in the exhilaration of the storm. I praise you, O god whose will it is that the clouds gather low in the sky, whose gift of rain pulls life from the earth. Great Zeus, friend of those who wander the world, of those who are ever again among strangers, friend of those who rely on the honor and virtue of others, I praise you, O god of the righteous whose wrath falls on those who prey on the exile and the outcast, the recluse and the solitary. Zeus of the prophets, Zeus of many oracles, kindly one whose words we hear in silent voices or see in the throw of the bones, whose messages we know by their truth alone. I praise you, O god who is the source of all visions and signs,  of all that is foretold by mortal seekers and seers.

☼ Apollo is the burning rage you feel when you witness injustice.

☼ Apollo is the fury of a Father whose child is mistreated.

☼ Apollo is a striking arrow against those who violently invade your space.

☼ Apollo is a battle cry, a blinding light, an eye of the hunter.

He is so many things, not all of them soft and gentle.

Please do not UwU-ify Apollo (or any gods, for that matter). His name has been thought to literally mean “Destroyer”. He is SO much more than soft, cuddly, sweet boy 🥺👉👈 He is also not some prideful, cocky, asshole who takes advantage of other people.

Apollo is a god and deserves to be treated as such.

He is more than the strum of a lyre, more than the sweet poetic words of a lover, more than the tune of your favorite song. He brings justice; he brings truth; he brings self-reflection. He is powerful and unrelenting. He is so much more than the Golden Boy™ stereotype I see people assign to him online.

Remember to acknowledge that gods are complex beings with facets to their personalities that you will likely never even experience within your lifetime.

Stop UwU-ifying gods. Stop fandomizing them.

O' Demeter Polyphorbos, golden-haired queen; it is this day I voice my thanks for your gifts. The grain, the corn, the meat, the fruits upon my family's plates—it is all your doing. It is you, generous lady, who nourishes. Great goddess, hear my praise!

Saturn by Mike Willcox

Etherial father, mighty Titan, hear, great fire of Gods and men, whom all revere: Endu'd with various council, pure and strong, to whom perfection and decrease belong. Consum'd by thee all forms that hourly die, by thee restor'd, their former place supply; The world immense in everlasting chains, strong and ineffable thy pow'r contains Father of vast eternity, divine, O mighty Saturn [Kronos], various speech is thine: Blossom of earth and of the starry skies, husband of Rhea, and Prometheus wife.

Orphic Hymn to Saturn-Kronos, 12
