spreading out our ashes in the sun
me, praying: “let your deadly arrows strike the evildoers and tormenters in this world, as you have done so valiantly before. vanquisher of evil, shine light on us mortals, and free us from oppressive forces, remind us how you got your epithets!”
Apollon: “… you’ve gotta stop asking me to kill politicians”
me: “please just one arrow you know exactly where to aim it”
he isnt the god of the sun, so dont worry abt it lol
this is my altar btw, sits between 2 book shelves
What do other worshippers of Apollo think/feel about having their altar somewhere that isn't in sunlight? It's probably not a big deal, but part of me feels a little bad and disappointed about it.
My current plans are on a shelf of a bookcase in my room, but it's kinda in a corner so it's always a little dark over there even if my light is on and the window is open with the sun shining through. There's not any other place with enough space for the things I'd like to have for an altar, and I just feel a little bad about the only spot I can put it being kinda dark and gloomy-feeling. Any suggestions, advice or input?
Especially in the beginning, it's easy to mix up what's a sign and what's just a coincidence! you can get better at identifying the two with practice tho :)
avocados don't have much to do with Apollo or Artemis, so at first glance i'd say it's most definitely a coincidence lmao
if you want confirmation for this kinda stuff, maybe look into other forms of divination like pendulums, tarot, etc. (pendulums are more beginner friendly)
I can't tell if Apollo or Artemis is sending me a sign or not cause I see clouds that look like words that are like in the sun but all I can see as the word is.. is.. is AVOCADO 😭
do they want avocado as an offering
i don't even know where to find avocado but I am in the grocery stores cafe right now
experienced devotees do you understand what's going on ???? Is this another one of them?? I'm so confused
maybe it was another word? The clouds went away when I read the word avocado.
escapril prompt: grief
Tonight I leave behind nightmares of yesteryear. Of memories drenched in tears of shattered possibilities. For light has broken through din and haze. And I await your warm embrace delivered upon morning’s arrival.
May we cultivate a shameless cycle of self-love built upon the smoldering embers of grief so that I may create once more. In your name. In your visage.
Study for the head of Apollo painted by Diego Velazquez (1599 - 1660)
Phoebus ☀️🌿🏹
Here’s Apollo of this year! I’m working on and off for this painting since Jan and decided to just let it go now, below cut are just my little process/commentaries

Reminds me of the time when I studied for a full week in honor of Athena and was jokingly like, "I should get a reward!"
The next day I got a doll I wanted for literal years and had dreams about.
A few days ago I was joking about deserving a “Mother’s day present” because I took care of toddlers age 2-4 years old during my internship at Daycare, that same day I ordered a new candle for my beloved.
Me (Today): *Came home from picking up his candle from the pick up point in my street* Okay let’s see.
As I open the box and unwrap the candle, my face turns deadpan as I look at the candle in my hand.
Me: Trying to bite back a smile and a giggle.
It’s wrapped in gift wrapping and has a ribbon and sticker on it that says “Best mum ever!”.
Apollo: Beaming, giving off that “You asked and I delivered” energy.
I turn away from Apollo’s altar slowly, trying to be as serious as possible and hiding my shy smile.
Me: Okay, I see. I get it now, You got jokes.
So eventually I cut out the part with the ribbon and sticker and placed it on his altar (｡>﹏<) ♡
