Bad proportions = no space left for His hair bun 😞😞

LOL I offered Apollo a nuclear cat 💀

Today is 7/7/2026

"The day of Apollo's birth was believed to have been the seventh of the month, whence he is called hebdomagenês. (Plut. Sympos. 8.)"

"Immediately after his birth, Apollo was fed with ambrosia and nectar by Themis, and no sooner had he tasted the divine food, than he sprang up and demanded a lyre and a bow, and declared, that henceforth he would declare to men the will of Zeus. Delos exulted with joy, and covered herself with golden flowers." (Comp.
Theognis, 5, &c.; Eurip. Hecub. 457, &c.)

So l based this month's altar on these passages.
The image of Delos covering with golden flowers stayed with me, so I wanted my altar to feel as though the island itself was celebrating Apollo's birth. so l filled the altar with yellow flowers too.

I wanted to make everything myself this time, so l spent the afternoon making mung bean cakes and brewing tea. The cakes were still warm when I offered them, and the tea was slightly bitter at first, but left a sweet aftertaste. It felt like my own small way of honoring that story with the food I know how to make.

I'm still fairly new to Hellenic polytheism and only recently started practicing again, so l'm sure there are things I still have to learn. Please be kind.

Happy seventh, everyone.☀️
