reminder that temple of zeus used to be joy of satan and theyre fucking nazis !

if a blog is affiliated with them in any way, it's nazi shit, even if the blog or their posts don't seem like it.

like these are on their official forums

the temple of zeus website is worded carefully to avoid explicit nazi bullshit, but it's there if you know how to read between the lines.

Digital offering to Lord Apollon !!

O' Phoebus Apollon, you shine your light on my life, at my highest high and my lowest low you remain constant and steady.

You lift me up with a gentle yet confident hand. You remind me that I am not my darkness, for I posses a bright flame that has persisted through every storm.

it is you I honor, O' Apollon in every moment of creativity, when the sparkle of innocent and joyous inspiration lights my eyes, it is you i think of.

It is you I found first and just as the Sun peeks through the clouds, you have made my life so much brighter.

I praise and honor you, I thank you for your presence, your blessings, your protection.

It's such a fucking shame that everyone hates Zeus because they took the myths too literally because a God King of hospitality, foreigners and the protector of immigrants would be SUCH a good guy to be calling on right now. I literally cannot think of a better god to call on for current political issues but suuure enjoy sitting on your mythic literalism high horse guys
