Bedridden Worship: Apollon

So, I’ve had my sh*t absolutely rocked by a cold and it’s showing no sign of going. Huzzah. That does mean, though, I’ve had ample time to come up with creative ways to honor Apollon while I get over it, so here goes another installment of bedridden worship.

Here’s some of my handy ways to worship him from my bed and room.

Activities

• Listening to music
• Writing poetry (it doesn’t need to be good)
• Researching ancient hymns
• Researching medical history
• Sitting by a window or outside in the sunlight
• Eating honey
• Learning about bees (trust me, they’re cool as hell)
• Making devotional jewelry
• Drawing him or his symbols (snakes, the sun, crows, bow and arrow)
• Making a mini or online altar/shrine
• Decorate empty pill bottles

Habits

These should be done to the best of your ability in their honor.

• Taking medication (especially as-needed medication you’ve convinced yourself you don’t need)
• Eating when you can
• Daily prayers (I usually do them right before bed)
• Dedicating 5 minutes a day to learning about topics relating to him
• Offering the energy of whatever you’re drinking
• Meditation or just napping

Your Space

Things you can add to your room to make your space have more of his ‘vibes’

• Larkspur (what the Greeks called hyacinths)
• Beeswax candles
• Bee, snake, and crow iconography
• Crow feathers (for legal reasons, only fake ones if you’re in the US, but ;))
• Skulls and bones (real or fake)
• Art with bow and arrow imagery
• The colors yellow, white, gold, and green
• Keep a bay laurel–mine survived a while, I do think it might be dead though
• Amber in any form
• Suncatchers

Offerings

Note that any devotional activity can be an offering!

• Candles
• Incense or diffused oils
• Wine (if you’re of drinking age)
• Water
• Honey
• Flowers and herbs, especially bay laurel
• Donations to medical foundations
• Mutual aid for or in support of young people
• Artwork
• Original hymns, prayers, or poetry

Apollon loves you, and he understands that you need to rest. Your health and self care always comes before worship. Arete is your personal best, and your personal best is what you can do without hurting yourself.

apollon is a god to be worshipped with smoke, thick white clouds and sulfur slipping down your throat

Fic Rec

This fic is a really great example of Slade characterisation if you’re interested in a more human view of him! It makes excellent use of POV and has some steaming hot sex. I just absolutely adore vulnerable Slade and Romiress is an amazing writer! This work deserves far more comments
