Make prayer beads for your deity:

A bead that represents their symbolic colours.

A charm that represents their animal symbol.

A bead that represents their crystal.

A bead that represents the weather associated with them.

A charm that represents their herb or flower.

A bead that represents the season associated with them.

A bead that reminds you of the day you started working with them.

A charm that represents you.

A bead or charm that represents your love and devotion for them.

#i want to do this baddddd #i need to get some beads from a craft shop and stuff though first

Your daily dose of Apollo

Apollon/Apollo is truly a fascinating deity. Everyone knows his light side; his association with light and the sun. He is indeed a being of light but light is not always gentle. Think of the sun's rays; are they always gentle? Are they always warm and welcoming?

Apollo is both the life giving warmth and the sun and scorching desert sun. Apollo protects us but he also strikes us down.

A lot of Apollo's darker epithets fascinate me. He is a healer but also the bringer of disease. He is the protector of youth (particularly of young men) and when young men die suddenly he is said to be the cause.

He has associations with death and the dead; he is not a psychopomp but he is more associated with the rituals of the dead. Making sure the dead get burial rites or protecting the deceased's bodies.

He is also called wolf-god. When you think of wolves what do you think of? You think of a wolf pack most likely. Loyalty, family, protection.

But think of how fierce wolves are; how farmers fear them. I see Apollo embodying both that loyalty and protection but also that fierce, primal fear that wolves incite in people.

He is endlessly fascinating; he is a being of duality just as much as any other deity. I honor his light aspects as well as his dark ones.

"His prayer went up and Phoebus Apollo heard him. Down he strode from Olympus' peaks, storming at heart with his bow and hooded quiver slung across his shoulders. The arrows clanged at his back as the god quaked with rage, the god himself on the march and down he came like night. Over against the ships he dropped to a knee, let fly a shaft and a terrifying clash rang out from the great silver bow. First he went for the mules and circling dogs but then, launching a piercing shaft at the men themselves, he cut them down in droves— and the corpse-fires burned on, night and day, no end in sight."

— The Iliad, Book 1 (Robert Fagles translation)

#apollon #the iliad #this was my favourite passage in college - everytime we got to analyse it I was so happy #although we used e.v. rieu trans. which is quite different
