So just started worshipping Apollo and this is so far how the shrine looks like

[plutonian-vaingoldry]

bless you, i sneezed

it spreads, i spread 

each inhale exhale

i breathe

one count two three four

my dusty nostrils 

where are my pills?

my anti-hissymints 

fill me and i’ll spill

take care of yourself, love

don’t mask the truth

cough it out if you must 

blow those dusty nostrils

take one count

two three four

inhale exhale

b r e a t h e

expel the pollen in your veins

Here's my new (and bear) shrine to Apollo.🌻

Currently given him 2 blank CDs and a music note pin, a fake agave plant, a rose bead, a lantern, a wolf ring, an ox figure, and a jar of amber beads.

Things will improve over time I promise.😅

My current shrine for Apollon, with an offering of carnations.

We do not beg or bend our knees to our gods. Instead, we open our arms and embrace them.

We do not beg them to do things for us. Instead, we ask to be empowered and assisted so that we may do these things ourselves.

When two gods take you under their wing

Apollo and Pluto, Lords of Light and Dark, are my divine parents. As their child, I carry duality within me. 

What is that like?

Sometimes it’s a conflict of desires, a yearning to be on-stage performing with the cast VS having directorial control of the play. 

Sometimes it’s a flipping switch. Warm and welcoming one second. Hateful, the next. It depends on how I’ve been crossed.

Sometimes its a cunning thought, to be the darling of the group so that I’ll have special privileges. Other times, it’s just... confusing. 

As I grew from a child into a teenager and now, an adult... people have confessed I am “disturbing” to get to know as I am seem warm hearted. But not quite so.

My Leo Ascendant and moon blesses me with Apollo’s radiance. I “shine”. When I am joyous, everyone is a beloved friend. Like the sunshine, I warm people up and we all have a good time. 

Underneath, I am far from breezy. I’ll go through hell if I need to if it’ll get me what I want. It what keeps me fed and my house clean :)  

Once people have gotten to know me better, they discover my 8H Sun has gifted me with Pluto’s aura: Severity. It baffles them when someone so warm and welcoming could also be so intense.

Intense. That’s what a former lover said I was. I was too “intense”. 

What did I do? I revealed my standards. I demanded honesty. I made him get vulnerable: Do you love me or not? He didn’t. 

Then I left as though we never shared a single good moment. 

It’s frightening when a person is brave enough to shove your BS back at you. But it’s terrifying when they make you get vulnerable and tell the truth. 

When Fathers Light and Dark take you under their wing, they bless you with extraordinary life force. 

You take on the glow of white and the intensity of black. You are radiance and potency. Glory and dominion. Fair-hearted but also cruel. The average person cannot comprehend you.

Receiving the gifts of Fathers Light and Dark is to embrace duality, to understand you can embody both virtue and sin. The average person must grapple with both but not you, as you’ve learned your monsters by name a long time ago.
