At 18 years and 7 months old, this grand old dame could be the oldest lioness in the wild. Photos taken from footage by Ivan Ueckermann, South Africa.

☼ Apollo is the burning rage you feel when you witness injustice.

☼ Apollo is the fury of a Father whose child is mistreated.

☼ Apollo is a striking arrow against those who violently invade your space.

☼ Apollo is a battle cry, a blinding light, an eye of the hunter.

He is so many things, not all of them soft and gentle.

"You can't worship Zeus He's a-" "Aphrodite is a jealous tyran-" "Athena can't be worshipped with-" "Hera hates Her husba-" "Dionysos is just a dumb drunk-" "Aidoneus is EVIL for KIDNAPPI-" "Demeter is a narcissistic mother archety-"

get off of TikTok and go actually spend quality time with the Gods challenge

Dance freely and happily to your favourite song for Dionysus.

Unpopular Opinion: The Gods would never let a trickster spirit claim to be them. Most religious people are not scared of malicious entities masquerading as their God(s). Have more faith that your Gods will take care of you.

Mægasthænís - very strong

Sing, of Apollo son of Leto

Bright shining star

Golden boy of Olympus

The Healer, the Averter of Harm, 

The one who heals the sick

And then draws back his bow to slay his enemies

Hail the shining Deathless God Apollo.
