About Apollo
- Apollo was one of the most feared and respected gods in Greek mythology
To call someone an “Apollo” is to imply that they are blindingly handsome. He is a beautiful killer.
Apollo is a master healer who can heal anyone except those he himself has slain. He is the spirits’ doctor, too, healing them when they are ailing.
Apollo is blamed for sudden death. His arrows kill instantly. He absorbs and takes over the power of others. EG Having killed the serpent at Delphi, for example, Apollo becomes able to manifest as a snake.
Apollo is the Greek male deity with the greatest number of male lovers. In general, his relationships with men are happier than those with women. Apollo is the patron and sponsor of young men, teaching them music, divination, and various sports.
Apollo favours these people: Healers, musicians, psychics, diviners, and mediums, good-looking young men, philosophers, Leos, those who protect and care for wolves
How does he look if he manifests before you?
A breathtakingly handsome young man with long golden hair. He assumes the guise of his sacred creatures, travelling as a wolf on land and a dolphin at sea.
Apollo and Artemis were siblings, twins actually, children of Zeus and Leto, a Titan goddess. According to tradition, the two children were born on the island of Delos. Apollo is one of the most important and complex Greek gods. He is the god of light, music and poetry, healing and prophecy. He was the one that established the great Oracle of Delphi, which was considered the center of the ancient world. He was the teacher of the nine Muses and when they sang he accompanied them with his famous lyre.
