Oracle D’Apollon

Hail Apollo Phoebus Priest of Apollo, as such I tend to focus on where the medicinal meets magical, and divination in my own craft. Currently writing a book on witchcraft at the moment, hoping to get published when it’s done.

Frustratingly accurate

[oracledapollon]

I feel during this crisis many will come face to face with their demons. Demons they thought long gone, but through isolation they are coming out of the dark corners of our minds.

For me that demon is my anger. Anger I pushed aside. Anger I never give voice to. I always chose to be cunning and meticulous instead. But now I am seeing my anger and how it whispers. I am angry all the time. I am never not angery. I filled with rage. Rage toward my abuser. Rage towards my rapist. Rage towards those who have rejected me. Rage towards indifferent systems that people cling so desperately to, claiming it virtuous or right, while people drop dead around them from it. Rage that fills every corner of my psyche, rage that I pretended was not there, rage that now I am face to face with, rage that I do not know how to deal with because through repressing it I never developed the tools to address it.

[oracledapollon]

It’s funny being both a scientific person AND a religious person. Since they are often at odds with each other.

Part of me looks at this and goes “the gods are punishing us for our trespasses and wanton destruction of the earth! This is the wrath of the gods!”

And then the other part is like “it’s a virus and people are fucking stupid.”

And then part of me is like “I mean... both can be true.”

Sigils and How to Use Them:  -  (A Master Post)

This post isn’t about creating sigils but, rather what they are and how to use them to their fullest potential. A Sigil is a symbol, but not just any ordinary symbol. They are sigils that are created with intention, will, and magic. They are vessels that carry your intentions- a means of making them manifest. There are three very distinct views on this matter: Instant, Passive, and Active.I personally believe all are correct. However, one method may be more suitable for certain Sigils than the others.

Please note:

 It is very important that, while you are drawing the Sigil, you are present and mindfully putting the right intention into it.  If you are totally new, here are some examples of some Sigils that I have made: ~~~Sigils~~~ ~~~How I Make my Sigils~~~ ~~~Sigil Chains~~~

Sigil Activation:

Sigils are activated upon creation but can be further powered using any of the following three methods. If you have a book made specifically for Sigils, (especially if you create or keep Sigils for cursing) be sure to create or draw Sigils on the front and back covers that will cancel the effects of all other sigils within the book. 

Instant Sigils:

This method is a One-Shot-Johnny. It is the strongest in terms of manifestation. However, the effects are very short-lived. This method involves destroying the Sigil. Once the Sigil is destroyed its power is at 150% but decreases back to 0% at an exponential rate. Depending on the caster, it could last up to two days.  I use this method to amplify my spells and intentions. 

Here’s how it works:

Take a Sigil, let’s say one for empowering intentions, and draw it onto a piece of paper.  Charge the Sigil. You can do this is sooooooo many ways. ‘pray’ to it, masturbate to it, set crystals on it, leave it in the moonlight, etc. Then, once you have set your spell and have started the ritual, burn the Sigil. You are not limited in how you can destroy the Sigil! You can burn, tear, shred, melt, smudge, or soak them (If drawn in water-based ink). The effects will be manifest immediately. 

Passive Sigils:

In this form of Sigilwork, Sigils will only manifest while they aren’t remembered. The moment that they are remembered, they lose their effect, or it becomes very weak.   Here’s how it works:

Take a Sigil, let’s say one for positivity, and draw it on a piece of paper. Then charge the Sigil.  Then, place the Sigil in a place which no one will find or see it, not even yourself. The Sigil will really start working its magic once you have entirely forgotten about it. 

Active Sigils:

Active sigils are powered by remembering them and feeding them intention.   Here’s how it works: Take a Sigil, let’s say one for protection from negative energy, and draw it on your skin, a piece of paper, or a miscellaneous object you keep on you. Then you would rub or ‘pray’ to the Sigil whenever you needed it, pouring the intention of protection into it as you did so. This strengthens the Sigil and causes a more direct manifestation at the same time. You can charge these Sigils the same as Passive Sigils.

Sigils in Spellcraft:

As I had mentioned above, I use sigils to amplify my focus or intentions.  There are other ways to use them in spells. You could even make a spell entirely from Sigils. 

Here are some examples of some smaller spells that involve Sigils: A Raven’s Breath Snap Magic

In larger spells, you can create Spell Circles- or incorporate Sigils into Sacred Circles. Below is an example of a Spell Circle.

In the center of the circle is the Sigil that acts as the root for the entire spell. This Sigil is basically like the subject of a sentence. Whereas the symbols on the ring of the circle are the actions.  You can create Spell Circles of your own! Step 1: Draw a circle Step 2: Draw a Sigil inside that circle. Step 3: Write the specified implementation of said Sigil around the perimeter of that circle. The language doesn’t matter- as long as it boosts your headspace. (I created my own language/cipher/cryptograph for my GreyGrimoire so that peering eyes wouldn’t be able to read it.) Step 4: Create the rest of the spell around the Spell Circle. (Whether you’re making a spell bottle, or enchanting and Item or casting a curse. Just gather your materials and build correspondences.) Step 5: Cast that mamma jamma!

I have made a Masterpost about Spell Circles and you can find it HERE. If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to ask me or another blog! Remember, everyone’s craft is different- These are beliefs from my craft. Though, I try to be as respectful as possible to other crafts.

Yeah. Exactly.

Wow. Just wow. They all walked right into that… shoved their foot’s so far into their mouths they’re gagging on them.

[oracledapollon]

So the goddess Hecate is always accompanied by hounds... So now I’m wondering if she’s accidentally hit one of them with a door, just like us pathetic mortals, and been all “MY POOR BABY IM SO SORRY!!!!”

GUYS, THIS “WITCHCRAFT” TREND IS REALLY DANGEROUS....

You might…start caring about cultures other than your own. And then… really bad & scary things can and will happen like:

improved research skills 

self-reliance when it comes to getting information about your own beliefs

very long reading lists

examining your beliefs through different lenses (scary shit, no joke)

wanting to #decolonize shit

learning & caring about cultural appropriation

….learning to meditate or even… be mindful. (sorry I know that one’s distasteful to even mention!!)

all that shit can happen to you even if you just google it out of curiosity but don’t actually practice anything……and the very second you try 1 thing you found bc it resonates with you? You’re swiftly punished with:

rocks in ur pockets (what if you drown!!!)

there are also rocks on your windowsill and on your floor and in your bag and they are going to kill you in your sleep! (Amethysts are murderous!!)

It’s a dark path, guys. 

I am a shell of my former self and I can’t stop….learning……..

Scary scary things man... I’ve learned so much about other cultures and their practices and values that I don’t think I’ll ever be the same again.

“Age is just a number” means senior citizens can still find love.

“Age is just a number” means middle-aged people can still find love.

“Age is just a number” means 30+ people can still find love.

“Age is just a number” is not an excuse to be a pedophile.

Nothing is an excuse to be a pedophile.

So don’t.

Just don’t.

[awesomelittleweirdo]

also “age is just a number” means i’m buying that stuffed animal and y’all can’t stop me

[likestofightcrime]

[rip-paramour]

“Age is just a number” means that if I wanna go trick-or-treating I’m going trick-or-treating

[nyankittyblr]

if pedophiles believe that age is just a number then jail is just a room ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[drowned-princess]

And a bullet is just a piece of metal

[oracledapollon]

Age is just a number, but that number can be super important. If you’re 35 and he’s 45 no one cares. Go ahead. If your 23 and they are 13, HANDS OFF AND GO AWAY.
