MORNING PRAYER

OF

APOLLO

Here's a morning prayer to the Greek God Apollo in Latin with English translations:

Latin:

Apollo, Deus Solis,

qui auroram flammis ornat,

qui citharae melos canis suave lyraeque tenes,

te precor, sancte,

mane mihi propitius esto,

et mentem lustra radiis tuis purioribus.

Per te nostrae vitam lucemque foveamus,

per te prospera semper et laeta faciamus,

per te felices omnes dies agamus.

Apollo, patrone vitae,

mane nobiscum sis!

English:

Apollo, God of the Sun,

who adorns the dawn with flames,

who plays sweet melodies on the lyre and the harp,

I pray to you, holy one,

be propitious to me this morning,

and cleanse my mind with your pure rays.

Through you,

let us nurture our life and light,

through you,

let us always make things prosperous and happy,

through you,

let us spend all our days in happiness.

Apollo, patron of life,

be with us this morning!

♡ STRAWBERRY BANANA CHEER-UP MUFFINS ♡ This recipe has always cheered up my family, and some witchy alterations can make it extra special ♡♡ INGREDIENTS:  ♡ 1 ¾ cup flour ♡ 2/3 cup sugar ♡ ½ teaspoon baking soda ♡ 2 tsp baking powder ♡ 1 pinch salt ♡ 3 small-medium or 2 large bananas ♡ 1/3 cup softened butter ♡ 2 tbsp milk ♡ 2 eggs ♡ 5-10 strawberries BAKING INSTRUCTIONS: ♡ Mash bananas and set aside. Cut strawberries into quarters and set aside. Preheat oven to 350. In large mixing bowl mix 1 cup of the flour with the sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix in the mashed banana, butter, and milk, and beat until blended. Turn mixer to high speed and beat for 2 more minutes. Add the remaining flour (¾ cup) and the eggs, and beat until blended. Stir in the strawberries. Pour the batter into lined cupcake tin. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (for me this was around 25 minutes).  WITCHY ADDITIONS: ♡ Draw sigils or runes (I’d suggest wunjo and uruz for this spell) with a toothpick onto the banana peels. By the time the muffins are done the symbols should appear clearer, then you can add them to compost or discard.  ♡ When mixing dry ingredients, stir counterclockwise (before adding the salt) thinking about what currently vexes you or your family. Stir in the pinch of salt clockwise thinking momentarily about protecting you or your family from these struggles.  ♡ When adding the eggs, clean and set aside the eggshells to dry - these can be ground up and used in future spells or for your garden. ♡ When adding the strawberries, think about small goals to bring happiness to you or your family and stir clockwise. CORRESPONDENCES: strawberries (love, bring forth positive changes), salt (protection), bananas (love, success), eggshells (protection) ♡ Share with your family or close loved ones to bring happiness and small mercies their way!

A late night cup of tea and a prayer to Hestia at her altar.

For those of you that feel like you're less of witch because you don't have all of the witchy supplies. Remember, feeling a pull towards witchcraft is what makes you a witch, not the ability to buy out a metaphysical store.

Buying witchy things is fun but it's not what makes you a witch.
