Apollo Medicus (detail)

Sofia, Bulgaria

[phaneseros]

Apollo Medicus, most glorious of gods, healer divine and seer true, god-physician and physician of gods, thy radiant light guides my path towards healing sick and making well, like thy chariot drawn by swans towards beginnings of new dawn, thy gentle touch and mending wounds, I ask of thee, grant me this boon:

Set my journey-path a-bright so that I may follow thy guiding light, lead me towards field I seek, for my head, my heart, my hands are meek, lead me where my knowledge, skill, and expertise may serve you best and bring to many peace with the comforts of good health you bridge, guide me with great tutelage.

I beseech thee, lord of health, O masterful Paean of the gods, find for me, reveal to me, the path towards healing soul and psyche! Apollon, savior of the ill and healer of the sick! Thee who cleanses body, thee who tends to weak and feeble, I praise thy work of sacred arts and ask of thee to bless me with thy counsel right.
