Meeting Apollo
Deity Doodles
(My experience working with the Gods. UPG)
2021 was a strange year with even stranger occurrences.
I found a lot of information in person of what magic in real life actually looks like. My parents were witches but very rarely practiced.
A friend who was a Lokean helped me with something that happened (which I will go in depth another day). Loki and his presence was very strong. I can’t remember exactly what I asked but the way he answered (through my friend) was “you’re definitely Apollo’s.” (Which I should have noticed because he sent me dreams constantly with signs but…)
Not long after I welcomed him in my life, I began to feel, hear, and see Apollo. It was weird (then again a lot of things were weird at this time), but it was also lots of fun.
Apollo was incredibly excited to be able to communicate and share information. His excitement I could feel like a full body buzz that made me giggle. I was obsessed (and a bit fearful) with being proper and worshiping him the “right way”, but he slowed me down and made me realize that it’s supposed to be fun. My practice was an adventure, something that will evolve with time, just embrace this beginning with him.
He taught me about the modernization of the Gods and how they are capable of not only understanding but enjoying modern things. It’s important to respect their root likes, but also… “That dodgeball meme is the funniest fucking thing.”
I still have a wonderful bond with Apollo. We have had our miscommunications and discussions on how to prevent them, which only made our bond stronger.
I offer him Wine and Peach Crown Royal Whisky. I play him classical music and Ke$ha. We love watching documentaries and Labyrinth. I pray to his accomplishments in mythology and our accomplishments together.
I honor you Phoebus Apollo, I thank you for our incredible bond. I am grateful for everything that you’ve taught me and I can’t wait to continue!
Love, Sunspot
To those who are still reading I share my favorite advice. Learn about them like a friend, what’s written down years ago is important, but there’s been a lot of new things in that time.
Lastly have fun. Just enjoy what you’re doing. It’s such a wonderful gift that we’ve found our path. We could have never discovered this and yet here we are!!! Love your practice, it’s an evolving gift.
