Apollon

Everlasting Bright One

You who guide the Muses in song

Far Darter— who sends His arrows

Rendering justice and wrath upon those

Who dare to go against You

Hear my prayer of protection

For I am Yours, for ever

Look upon me with love and favor

Those who would harm me, would harm You

Those who speak ill of me, speak ill of You

Those who would cast me out, cast You out

Protect me, Apollon Akesios

Pierce those who would do me harm

With Your silver arrows, Far Shooter

And hold me in Your arms forever more.

Xaire, Apollon Aigletes.

Prayer to Apollon

Hear me, my Golden Prince

As I sing of your brilliance

And profess my unwavering love and devotion

I pray that you bless me

With your sight and prophecy

And with the gift

Of creator’s inspiration

Allow me to speak as your Oracle

And birth your masterpieces

Keep pushing me, oh radiant Apollon!

For in your favor I pray I will remain

[medusa-must-live]

Hail, Apollo

Far shooter and light-bringer 

May your joy and wisdom guide us

And illuminate the darkness of our

Own messed up mind

☀️ Good morning sunshine Apollo is so rad ☀️

[peppumpkin]

Apollo, Glorious golden haired Lord of the Sun who brings light and healing upon the Earth, tending to your herd with gentle hands and open arms.

The same hands that string an opaline bow with unrivaled skill and let loose a hundred gleaming arrows with ease, piercing the hearts of arrogant and wicked and setting them aflame with the heat of passionate righteousness.

The same hands that weave bandages like tapestries upon the flesh of the wounded, warding off pestilence and decay.

The same arms that embrace those who hold you within their heart, protecting and cradling them like a newborn babe, their devotion to you never going unheard or unanswered.

Apollon aesthetic - music edition 🎼🎵🎶

[pinklaurels]

where to find apollo:

☀️ in the soothing warmth of the sun on your face

☀️ in the heart-pounding chorus of your favorite song

☀️ in the ways the world reminds you to take your medicine

☀️ in the clumsy motions of someone new to playing music

☀️ in the words of a poem that touches the deepest parts of your heart

☀️ in the early morning light filtering through cracks in the shutters

Offerings/devotions I associate with Apollon 🕊🌞

Just a small list of food/actions I assosiate with Apollon for offerings. It’s mostly my experience with him and how much he liked the things I’ve offered and made for him (‘: I’ll probably be updating this often as I discover more devotions and offerings with my experiences with Apollon. <3

Offerings 🍯

honey & milk

anything caramel related (seriously, he loves caramel)

citrine, tangerine quartz, sun stone

chocolate

raising plants and offering them to him. I recommend cacti!!!

Apple juice or orange juice

Honey mustard apple & chicken panini (oddly specific but he seemed to really love it)

Sliced apples and caramel or honey

Bread and honey!

Reece’s cups

Poetry you wrote for him

Jewelery that reminds you of him

Flowers! Sunflowers, Hyacinths, Baby’s breath, Orange and yellow roses, even dandelions will do! etc.

Devotions 🕯

reading him your favorite poems/book

singing to him

divining in front of his alter/with him

sitting in the sun

dancing when something shitty happens and you need to vent it out

practicing your creativity (drawing, poetry, etc)

writing him secrets/wishes/compliments/thoughts on bay leaves and burning it or leaving it on his alter

deity journal dedicated to him (letters to him, info page about him, prayers to him, etc)

talking to him through candle divination. I really recommend this form of divination when you want to ask simpler questions to him or simply want to hang out with him! He’s very interactive through the flame (‘:

Creative writing! (Careful of hubris if you decide to write about the Gods <3)

Self! Care! Making sure you’re mentally and physically healthy is definitely a devotion. Hang out with Apollon with a face mask or just eating a comfort food and relaxing. Do what makes you feel relaxed and happy with Apollon during a self care session <3

How to get closer ☀️

Talk to him!!! Inside your thoughts or verbally. I like to talk to him via candle divination and tarot divination <3

Leave a space for him to sit when you’re on the bus, when you’re sleeping, wherever you may be and would like Apollon to accompany.

He really loves joining in on spell casting when the spell is very sun witch based! It really brings you closer. He’s also a great help during the casting.

Whether you had a bad day or a good day, blast some music and sit in front of his alter and just breathe, feel his presence. After you’re relaxed, tell him all about your day and thank him for being there for you.

Art is a proof that magic exists. Thanks, Apollo.

Today's warm up drawing- I knew I wanted it somewhat Apollo themed but other than that I just kept drawing without any plan, figuring it out as I went. I'm happy with how it came out!

[heartfirehearth-deactivated2019]

Could you please write a hymn for Apollo? Any epithet is cool!

(asdfds I haven’t written poetry for Apollo in SO long, thank you so much for requesting this omg <3 <3)

Apollon Akestor, mighty healer,Extend your touch to those in need.Your hands are the safest place for the sick,Your medicine melodiously flows with speed.

Apollon Agonios, helper in struggle,Assist those who can barely gasp for breath.For life is a game in which we face ourselves,A contest more easily won with your help.

Apollon Lukeios, giver of light,Extend your eye in times of darkness.Your radiance is enough to set fireTo even the dampest of caves.

Apollon Musagetes, leader of the Muses,Inspire the poets yearning for freedom under starlight,The singers searching for the song lost in their throat,The painters longing for the textures of their realities.

Lord Apollon of many facets,You are not unlike the sun itself.Bringer of plague and of healing,Bringer of enlightenment and destruction,You warm our souls yet burn our tongues.Your duality comforts the paradoxes we are.

You represent the power of chaos’s photosynthesis,The transmutation of struggle to order,Restoration of systemic function.

May you light the way of artists,Of poets,Of writers,Of those who seek truth,Of those who seek healing,Of those who just want to understand this world.
