About Me!

Hello all! My name is Theo, and this is my sideblog for deity and witchcraft related posts!

I use primarily he/him pronouns, but I also like they and it. I live in the Middle of Nowhere in northern Canada, and I am 20 years old. I'm trans, queer, autistic, the works.

I consider myself a Polytheist- I believe in many different pantheons of deities, but I primarily worship Apollon :)

Here is a navigation post that explains my most-used tags.

i've been really busy with different life stuff and being a lot less involved in my religion as a result, but i just got back from my first vacation ever (to England :D it was so beautiful and i got to meet my long distance partner for the first time ever eheuehhe it went like a dream but ANYWAYS). while i was there i kept seeing a bunch of references to apollon, i saw a bunch of stuff like streets and shops and ads named after him or referring to him. it made me feel really nice like he was still looking after me even though ive felt bad about not having the energy to do much for him lately

me, praying: “let your deadly arrows strike the evildoers and tormenters in this world, as you have done so valiantly before. vanquisher of evil, shine light on us mortals, and free us from oppressive forces, remind us how you got your epithets!”

Apollon: “… you’ve gotta stop asking me to kill politicians”

me: “please just one arrow you know exactly where to aim it”

I don’t think we are meant to fear the Gods. Not even Gods of storms, death, or war. To believe in them is to accept them as they are. Don’t let anybody convince you that polytheists should fear the Gods. Be awe-struck, be humble before them if it feels right, but in this modern day and age, spirituality shouldn’t feel unsafe.

[templehyacinthus]

In every shade of yellow, I see my Lord

In every shade of purple, I see his Lover

Golden rays find golden blooms

As lavender dots the countryside

Gentle warmth finds gentle hands

As I sing their names in praise

Oh Lord Apollo,

Oh Lord Hyacinthus,

I see you everywhere

I see you everyday

I see you

I see you

I see

I had a dream recently, most of it is fuzzy but I remember one clear moment of it. I saw Apollo, and he looked exactly like how I imagine and draw him, except he was wearing this necklace. It was a simple gold chain, with a smooth round piece of amber hanging from it. I think he got it as a gift from someone? I'm not sure what it means but I think I'll try to draw it eventually

Okay so your post about the honey at the grocery store reminded me of my own experience. When I was considering if I should worship Athena, or just stick to the chthonic deities I worship, I got a notification on IG that a local coffee shop that had Athena in its name was following me. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to buy a statue and get an altar up for her yet due to recently moving.

Oh my goodness, that's so awesome! I love when things like that happen :D I'm sure she will not mind if you take a while to set up an altar, but man I totally understand wanting to go all in right away aha. I bet once you get it started, it's going to look lovely in your new house :)
