Has anyone here worked with Asclepius before?

Hey Apollon devotees 💛

Ya boi is sick. I was wondering what kind of offerings Asclepius might like, since I've never worked with Him before. I have stuff that Apollo likes: sun stones, citrine, bay leaves, star anise, citronella oil and tiger's eye. Would any of these work? I think what I might just do is see which things I have are used in healing spells.

Any help will be appreciated 💛

guidance.

Hi everyone,

I've recently developed a strong interest in Hellenism, feeling particularly drawn to Apollo, and I’d love to start worshiping him or perhaps other deities as well. However, I’m facing a few challenges and could really use some guidance. Living on campus means I can’t light candles in my dorm, which makes it hard to follow certain traditional practices that involve fire. Additionally, I work a full-time job from 8-5 every day, leaving me with limited time and energy to engage in worship or devotion.

On top of that, I’m prone to episodes of psychosis, and while I genuinely want to connect with these beliefs, I’m also slightly afraid of diving into something that might negatively impact my mental health. If anyone has advice on how to navigate these obstacles or has been in a similar situation, I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences... thanks.

Reading Recs?

I'm wondering if there are any reading recommendations about the worship of Apollo? r/Hermes has a list of stuff like that, and it would be really helpful if I could get that.

Apollo in human form?

Do you think Apollo ever manifested himself as a human being or did he always remain in his spiritual form? Blessed monday to you all!

Tattoo

Got this tattoo for lord Apollo a little while ago near one of his temples. What do y’all think? Be honest, I feel like something’s missing but can’t quite say what… I would have gotten a tattoo of one of his statues but I don’t like tattoos of faces or people for myself personally

made a simple ritual to consecrate an altar for Apollo and i think i received a sign from him!

I'm in highschool, in the middle of an exam week. I'm feeling very attracted to begin worshipping Apollo (I admire him since I was little), so I made a simple altar but hasn't had the time to make a little pray to say to him "hey, i made this altar for you. i hope u like it".

Today i had some time, I read one hymn and made a little pray asking for guidance and consecrate the altar for him. I sensed a distant presence, that i presume it was him, and i felt a good energy.

One hour ago I entered my bedroom and there was a little lizard (to be more precise it was a Hemidactylus mabouia) in the altar! I tried to search if there is any connection between apollo and lizards, and found this epithet Apollo Sauroktonos (lizard-slayer) and also found a myth (didn't found the source of it, so i dont know if i can trust it) about Apollo healing a lizard(?). And also found that lizard was considered a key ingredient for curing eye complaints, and Apollo is the god of medicine...

And, even though this type of lizard is very common in my country, I haven't seen a lizard in over a year. So I'm considering this a sign from him, that he heard my pray!

That's it! Thanks for reading! May Apollo bless you guys with his light☀️

Also, what can I say to finish a pray? I couldn't think of anything to close the ritual...

Something...funny

So i was having a test td and i was like super lost cuz the quetions were too hard and i was panicking so badly, then in the middle of sovling a question, music started blasting from the upper floor, every music you can think of, thick of it by KSI, Memories by Maroon 5 and crule summer by Talor Swift, at that time, i look out the window and thought:"you got to be kidding me right now." Then i heard one piece, SunShine by OneRepublic, idk if this was a coincidence, but I remembered that it was in my playlist for Apollo.😃

I think i am going to fail my maths😭

Praying to Apollon for the first time

The day before, I had the idea of starting to pray finally - have always had an interest for Apollon and only just recently it sparked to me to get into Hellenism. Anyway, today when I decided to give it a shot, I was pretty distressed throughout the day and couldn't focus on anything; later, I got overstimulated and was thinking how to word my prayer when I could get the space for it.

When I was finally able to, I got interrupted by IRLs a couple of times and apologized profusely to Apollon, so I gave it my full attention from the top and finished all the way through. Maybe it's because I've never prayed/meditated, but it felt very relaxing to have that space and talk out loud my thoughts - heck, I cried a bit but didn't feel deflated afterwards as it tends to happen; I promised I'd try to give him an offering soon, and thanked him for this week's nice weather and wished for some help sent my way as well as some sunshine for this upcoming week too. I was playing a slow music while praying because it helped me to calm down and I thought it'd be fitting since he's also the god of music.

I had to mute it at some point because an unskippable ad popped up and I was already stressed, but when I turned it back on after finishing my prayer, Lead Kindly Light by Aled Jones followed up on the queue and I had asked Apollon to send anything my way and, somehow, (even though it's most likely delusional and just the shuffle tool doing its work) the lyrics to that song reminded me of him and it made me happy to think so. Just a thought I had; I know it's more likely it takes time for him to actually send a sign as literal as they are.

New to this whole thing

So I've really never been religious but I've always been interested in greek myths and the gods. Recently, I got a candle that I looked at and it sort of reminded me of Apollo in a way. It's yellow with foxes and I think other animals on it (Its across my room right now I cant see it). For some reason after that in my head I just couldn't light it, I don't know why. After that I started looking at things and going "Huh that kinda reminds me of Apollo" and then randomly seeing SO MANY tiktoks of Apollo, I know tiktok isn't reliable but I had never gotten any religious tiktoks though maybe like one or two greek mythology tiktoks every once and awhile but I don't think any of them where about Apollo and then after the two things I said recently I just felt like it was on purpose you know? I didn't really click like on most of them but they just kept coming. After that I started really thinking of Apollo even more and would get the urge to make an altar basically every day which is super random for me because again, I was never religious.

I remember one night I said or thought I can't remember which that I really don't want to light a candle every day or something about candles I can't really remember it was I think two nights ago right before I fell asleep and the next day I kept seeing so many things saying you don't need a candle for an altar. I don't know, I've always sort of been drawn to Apollo to be honest but this all is just confusing me. Another thing is I will randomly think about wanting something only to find out later its associated with him.

Today I sort of gave into the feeling after being in denial (not the best way to put this I am sorry though I have no idea how else to put it) and made a small altar using the candle, a dice I thought he may like, my sun earring, a hand thing I have, a ring, and some pennies (I don't know why I just felt like he would want pennies? I don't know I was moving things to make it and felt like they needed to be there).

I'm really just asking for any advice on what to do now, I am going to add more things as I find things around my room/outside (I don't have much money and am not working because I am in school) that remind me of him. I hope this all makes sense again I was not religious but thinking back I wonder how much of it was just me being afraid of messing something up due to tiktok.. being tiktok. I almost started something around 2020-2022 but didn't because of that. I'm researching more about Apollo but want some advice from here as I go. Sorry this is so long. Is there anythings I can do as worship?

Was he asking for this as an offering?

A few weeks back I had a dream where I had several of those mini wooden mannequins that artists use and in the dream I had an urge to put one on his altar. In real life I also own one and I am curious if he was in a way asking for it as an offering.

Does Apollo like cows or is that Helios?

I’ve only been pagan for a few months and only worshipped Aphrodite, however I want to begin worship of Apollo and Artemis. However, I can’t find a clear answer in which sun god likes cows. So is it Apollo or Helios??

Unsure??

I have never been religious or worshipped any sort of God etc but I tried to get into paganism about a year ago.. I think? I just couldn't get into it because I never really had the time to. Now, I keep getting videos, images and other things of and about Apollo. So. Many. I'm also getting this strong urge to try and connect with him? I'm going to start researching and whatnot - but what do you all recommend? I don't have much money to build up a good alter but I do have like apples and a bit of honey.. I seen that's good to offer? I also can draw and was thinking of drawing something for him.. what would be good to draw to offer? Thanks for any input!

I need opinions on my alter

I recently started worshipping Apollon and I need ideas and suggestions, I don’t feel like he likes me very much. Whenever I try talking to him or I offer him something I don’t feel like I get an answer, I’m also pretty oblivious to signs since I tend to overthink. I do find a lot of his signs around though, honey, feathers and gold things most typically. I give them all to him but I don’t know if I’ve done something wrong. In the two baskets there is real gold and then in the other one is just gold things I’ve found.

Song recommendations

Any songs that may relate to lord Apollon? Whether it's meant to be or can be interpreted that way, I don't mind. I'm redoing my Playlist for Apollon and wish to add more songs and expland my taste a little but.
