(Some notes: The infinite sign shape above is Ouroboros, a snake eating its own tail, historically a symbol of infinity or the cycle of life, death and rebirth. I chose to put it there because the duality of death and rebirth corresponds to Apollo as the god of light but also god of plague. The name “apollo” itself has the meaning of the “destroyer” too. Snake is also an animal related to Apollo in myths.)

Important Note:
Lord Apollo is part of the Greek Pantheon making him a Hellenic deity. Whenever you are about to offer a prayer or offering to him please make sure to cleanse yourself as Miasma. Miasma isn’t “sin” but rather ritual impurity or spiritual pollution that naturally builds up in daily life. Things like being sick, dealing with strong emotions, contact with death, or even just the general “uncleanliness” of everyday living can create miasma.
To honor a Hellenic God properly, it’s respectful to cleanse yourself first so you’re approaching them in a state of clarity and reverence.
Simple Ways to Cleanse Miasma
Wash your hands and face with soap and water before prayer or offerings.
Sprinkle yourself with khernips, which is water mixed with a bit of salt or a burning herb/leaf (like bay or rosemary) dipped into it.
Light incense and pass your hands through the smoke.
Take a shower or healing bath if you want a fuller reset.
I really hope this helps, if you have any questions feel free to shoot a message into my INBOX and I'll happily share more of my things with you guys!
I pray to Paian Apolló, The Healer, for my health to come back, as i will soon be wrapped up in much work and studying for exams. May He hear my prayer and accept my humble offerings — 。.:*:・'°☆
Don't be afraid to burn as brightly as the sun itself. If others complain about turning to ash in your presence, then perhaps you shouldn't spend your time with vampires.
