[softapollo]

some lesser known things Apollo relates to/has been called:

he has been called ‘the helper in distress’

connected to this, ‘lord of feeling, lord of sensations’. not only does he feel openly and all, he is also master of his feelings. (he has helped me getting my emotions under control a lot so…)

people would call upon him to ask for a safe return home - also he who conducts men on board of a ship.

he was also known as he who blesses those who embark on journeys.

guardian of the streets and roadways.

founder cities and towns, also the protector of meeting halls or public places.

nurturer of children

he who brings joy, and another favorite, he who rules with sweetness (:

he who blesses those who farm and pasture. will address him with ‘howdy’ and ‘cowboy’ from now on.

“he who wields a golden sword”, he’s not just an archer.

he who fills our souls with bliss

Patír, meaning father, though you can go for daddy these days

the fact he is the god of music is well-known, but keep in mind this also means he’s good at singing

not only sing, but dance too. Some Renaissance ballet theaters have statues of him on their buildings because of this.

the wanderer

the unshorn—his hair was never cut or shorn (so do make art of rapunzel apollo please), representing his forever youth.

both dragon-slayer and mouse-killer

of boundaries. (don’t know about you but that makes a lot of sense to me.)

he makes everything bloom.

connected to this he was also seen as increasing fertility, sometimes adressed as ‘of semen’. Do with that what you like.

‘producing animals’

friendly, amicable, affectionate.

swift, patronage of the races

he who holds together the world

[apollonsaltar]

☀️ Small ways I honor Apollo day to day ☀️

Taking my vitamins and meds

Leaving the windows and blinds open as much as possible to let in the sunlight

Carrying a pocket first-aid kit

Listening to music almost constantly

Attending therapy n being kind to myself

Singing unabashedly

Painting my nails yellow

Educating myself and supporting the lgbt community, showing my pride

Drawing and making art for the sake of art (something I’ve learned from Apollo, instead of being a perfectionist)

Taking moments to bask in the suns warmth

Harry Potter Inspired: Magic for a Gryffindor

Hello everyone! So, in continuation with my Harry Potter inspired magic series, I decided to make some little posts detailing ideas for magic for members of each of the four Hogwarts houses. These posts will include some general info about the house, for those who don’t know much about them, as well as magical info! I’ll be taking the correspondences and symbols of the houses and relating them to modern witchcraft, and I’ll also be listing off some magical ideas that would be fun for a member of that house. Today, I’m gonna talk a bit about Gryffindor. Enjoy!

Gryffindor

“You might belong in Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart. Their daring, nerve and chivalry set Gryffindors apart.”

-The Sorting Hat

General house info:

House values: Bravery, chivalry, honor, justice, strength of will, courage, daring, nerve, courtesy

Notable members: Harry Potter (and his parents), Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Minerva McGonagall, Albus Dumbledore

Founder: Godric Gryffindor

Magical info:

Colors: Gryffindor’s colors are Crimson/Scarlet and Gold. In modern witchcraft, Crimson and Scarlet are associated with energy, vitality, lust, strength and creativity. In some traditions, they are also associated with anger or even hate. You can use Crimson/Scarlet for spellwork relating to any of the above correspondences, and you can also use them in curses. Gold is associated with the Sun, in particular, as well as truth, success and purity. In many Wiccan and Pagan religions, gold represents the God. Gold is primarily used for spiritual, religious, or ceremonial magic, but it can also be used in magic relating to wealth or prosperity.

Animal: Gryffindor’s animal is the Lion. The Lion is often used in magic and spell work relating to protection. Have you ever seen a statue or two statues of lions sitting outside of a building/museum etc.? This is a commonplace sighting, and it relates to the idea that the lion is a protector of the building. You can also use lion symbolism in spellwork relating to strength, boldness, or bravery.

Element: Gryffindor is often associated with the element of fire. The books don’t say anything specifically about the houses being connected to elements, but the fan-base has roughly associated each house with an element. Fire is the element of passion and strength. It is both a destroyer and a creator. Fire is often used in magical workings that include banishing, purification, strength, protection, and passion.

Herbs to help the Gryffindor: Bay, thyme, and dill for courage, strength and protection. Alyssum to keep anger and arrogance in check.

Crystals for the Gryffindor: Bloodstone for courage and inner strength. Carnelian to ward off fear and rage. Red jade for find the balance between courage and rashness. Snowflake obsidian for hope and courage when all seems lost.

Magic for the Gryffindor: In the books, it is seen that many Gryffindors show talent in transfiguration. While transfiguration as it is in the books is not exactly possible in the real world, Gryffindors may show talent for forms of magic that involve changing or altering an existing thing. For example, glamour magic or magic that changes negativity/obstacles into positivity/opportunities or vice/versa could be an area where a Gryffindor shines :) A Gryffindor may enjoy incorporating the above colors, animals, elements, herbs, and crystals into their spellwork.

I hope you enjoyed! Keep in mind that no two Gryffindors are alike, so not all Gryffindors will benefit from all of the magical information above. I just thought that it would be fun for witches who are fans of Harry Potter to incorporate a bit of their Hogwarts house into their real-life magic :) 

-Livi (A proud Ravenclaw)

Psst: some of the information about the house symbolism, values and members is appreciatively sourced from here.

Psssst x2: Not sure what your Hogwarts house is? Check out this Sorting Hat quiz: http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Reviews/HarryPotter/Docs/Quiz-House.html   I’ve yet to find a really, really good Sorting Hat quiz, but this one is pretty good.

Harry Potter Inspired: Magical Curriculum

Hello everyone! It’s been AGES since I’ve posted a Harry Potter inspired post. This isn’t really so much a spell or anything “serious”, but I thought it might be fun to equate the Hogwarts magical curriculum with magic that can be studied in the real world. This curriculum probably isn’t very practical to follow exactly, but it might be a fun guide for the beginning witch to help guide you in your magical learnings. Perhaps the “years” can be condensed into shorter time periods (like months, for example?) to help make the curriculum a bit more practical. Regardless, I hope you enjoy!

First-Second Years:

First years are sorted into one of the four houses (you can find plenty of quizzes online to help find out which house you belong in). Use this masterpost to learn more about your house and how it can relate to your real-world magical practice.

Required core classes:

Charms– Basics of spellwork, casting etc.

Potions– Basic kitchen witchcraft

History of magic– Study of the history of witchcraft throughout different cultures, time periods etc.

Defense against the Dark Arts– Basics of magical protection, cleansing etc.

Astronomy– Basics of astrology, planetary witchcraft (aka space witchcraft)

Herbology– Basic green witchcraft and herbalism

Flying– Basics of astral travel, not necessarily performing astral travel at this level yet. Optional for second year.

Transfiguration– Basic energy work & manipulation

Third-Fourth Years:

Each of the above core subjects should be continued at more advanced levels (flying is optional).

Students must choose a minimum of two of the following elective courses:

Arithmancy– Numerology for divination purposes, sacred geometry

Divination– Tarot reading, tea leaf reading, scrying, and other means of divination

Care and Keeping of Magical Creatures– Study of magical creatures, spirit work, fairy craft etc.

Study of Ancient Runes– Use of runes for divination and magical purposes

Muggle Studies– Use of witchcraft in everyday modern life

Fifth Year:

Classes are continued as in the 3rd and 4th years.

Magical skills and interests are assessed. Courses for the next year are determined based on these skills and interests. Courses may be specialized to fit the student’s needs and skill levels.

Sixth Year:

Certain core classes may be dropped at this time to make way for the classes that are of the student’s interests and skill-levels.

Optional: Apparition– Remote viewing, visualization skills etc.

Optional: Alchemy– Elemental magic studies

Seventh Year:

Classes continue on normally from the sixth year. Apparition will not be offered, but alchemy will still be available.

Extracurricular Activities:

Available all years. Can be used to help students explore their own personal interests.

Ancient Studies– Similar to History of Magic with an emphasis on ancient magical practices

Art– Sigil design and usage

Frog Choir, Music, Orchestra– Incorporating music and songs into witchcraft

Ghoul Studies– Spirit work

Magical Theory– Philosophical and theoretical approaches to different types of magic and how they work (see these posts for some examples)s

Xylomancy– Obscure, overlooked, and uncommon forms of divination

I hope you enjoyed! Much of the information about Hogwarts curriculum is appreciatively sourced from the Harry Potter wiki :) Thanks for reading,

Livi

🔮 Witch tip 🔮

Wanna cleanse your space from negative energy but you can’t use smoke or incense, or don’t have any “tools”? Fear not! All you need is a clear glass and some water. Just poor some water in the glass before you go to bed, hold the glass of water close to your heart and ask whoever you believe in (univers, God, a deity, anyone) to cleanse you and the space of any negative energy holding you back, put it near your bed and go to sleep. In the morning water should not be clear. I have tiny bubbles, I heard some people’s water turned black. You should repeat this every night until the water is clear. Dispose the water IN THE TOILET. Not down the drain, not in the tub, IN THE TOILET. And that’s it. ✨✨✨🔮💜

Passing thought

Lead pencils are underrated in witchcraft. They’re, like, perfect wands:

- A pointy stick of mineral encased in wood. Literally, a magic wand.

- Graphite : conducting electricity and energy and directing it in a straight line in the pencil. Plus, it has iron in it. 

- Contains clay. Myths about the creation of life, anyone? 

- Can physically manifest sigils, circles, etc.

- Comes in lots of colours.

- Inconspicious af
