Right from the beginning [Apollo] was connected not only with night but with caves and dark places, with the underworld and death. This is why at the town of Hierapolis, Apollo’s temple was right above the cave leading down to the underworld. And it’s why at other famous Oracle centers in Anatolia his temples were built just the same way – above a cave giving access to the underworld that was entered by his priest and by initiates at the dead of night.

Preview of my original song "Lovin' Me"

Preview of my original song "Queen of Everything"

Shallow waters have always been unnatural to me. Unfathomable depth is where I have always felt most at home.

Your laughter is my caffeine
Being there is what I pretend
Seeing you smile like a queen
I wish the night would never end
You’re the innocent bystander
Witness to my night time candor
As passions overflow
My feelings for you grow
My heart and mind closely compete
In a contest I cant complete
You’re the unwitting prize
A gift of my demise
Lost in my own universe
Making it fully what I want it to be
The soundtrack played in reverse
Go back in time at last learn how to be free
Neutralize the evil curse
That my sad and sorry past put upon me
Walking through life with a happy beat in my heart
With bright vivid dreams that are sublime
Confident that I will no longer come apart
That I will completely heal with time
One more fiery flame to keep you warm
Embracing you with thoughts of me
A strong connection now begins to form
And our hearts and souls are set free
My love, you inspire me to be better
To fulfill all my dreams to the letter
Creating a conveyor belt of joy
Making a man out of this little boy
I care about you so much
A lot more than as a friend
I just wish that we could touch
So I could make your heart mend
I really like it when you fluster
You always give your feelings away
I love you is all I can muster
You know that I’m here and I will stay
When you want sweet I’ll be your marmalade
And you can be my sugar queen
But if anyone throws you any shade
They’ll get a heavy side of mean
A high and costly toll that must be paid
Don’t worry I’ll always fight clean
Because our lasting love will never fade
A closeness never before seen
This is how I’ll prove it to you
That you can completely trust me
So you see my feelings are true
And real love is what this must be

(From @_Yin______Yang_)

"One must flee those places where life throbs and seek out lonely spots untouched by human hand in order to lift the magic veil of nature"

Guido von List

"Hermes represents Logos, or, the divine proportion of Father Zeus. He travels between realms and upholds the cosmic order embodied within his father, and therefore he is a messenger and herald of Zeus.

Through Hermes’ son Pan we can see that the vital masculine energy of the Heavens flows from Zeus and fully permeates material nature. This is why Pan is associated with fertility and the phallus, and also why he is half man and half goat (a satyr).

With Zeus being the epitome of Wisdom, Order, Justice, and Vitality, we can see why he has so many lovers in the myths, as this is illustrating his pervasiveness as the King of the Heavens who links everything back to the Celestial Spheres and roots nature within Him. Through the intermediaries of his son Hermes and his grandson Pan, we can see that he even connects lower material nature to Celestial Order. We can see this in the activities of Pan who spends his days frolicking in the woods, chasing nymphs, and playing his flute—the tune to which nature dances." – Venerable Magister Priscas, Orthodox Temple of Natural Religion
