Epicurius Apollo & Eriounes Hermes
In my personal experience as a Hellenist, I find Hermes and Apollo to be very gentle, patient, generous, and benevolent. Establish a genuine relationship with them and you’d be surprised how much help and support they give. A quarter of an inch of effort stretches for many miles with them. When you’re in a tight spot, better believe they’ve got your back!
They are two of the wisest and most intelligent teachers/mentors I could ever ask for. The virtues I see in them, they help bring out in me. So that I may grow as a person, become better than I am. Which in turn, leads me to help others in the way I was taught, over and over again.
In these little ways, we do as individuals have the ability to change the world around us. Starting with the communities we are a part of. Just the simple act of changing yourself changes the dynamic with others. It changes patterns for the better. That subtle shift in your tone and perspective can help others see things differently and thus, react differently.

Repost @hugin_ok_munin ... How do you imagine Týr? Týr is a god from Germanic mythology. In Norse mythology, which provide most of the surviving narratives about gods among the Germanic peoples, Týr sacrifices his hand to the monstrous wolf Fenrir, who bites it off when he realizes the gods have bound him. Týr is foretold of being consumed by the similarly monstrous dog Garmr, during the events of Ragnarök. In Old Norse sources, Týr is alternately described as the son of the jötunn Hymir (in Hymiskviða) or of the god Odin (in Skáldskaparmál). Lokasenna makes reference to an unnamed and otherwise unknown consort, perhaps also reflected in the continental Germanic record (see Zisa). Due to the etymology of the god's name and the shadowy presence of the god in the extant Germanic corpus, some scholars propose that Týr may have once held a more central place among the deities of early Germanic mythology. While Týr's etymological heritage reaches back to the Proto-Indo-European period, very few direct references to the god survive prior to the Old Norse period. Like many other non-Roman deities, Týr receives mention in Latin texts by way of the process of interpretatio romana, in which Latin texts refer to the god by way of a perceived counterpart in Roman mythology. Latin inscriptions and texts frequently refer to Týr as Mars. But that doesn't mean they are the same deities. In fact Latin authors only did this so the Roman people would understand the context better.

Charon (Keen Gaze)
Charon is the ferryman of the underworld, he is an offspring of Nyx(Night) he holds his oar in his right hand and receives souls waiting to cross with his left hand. Charon is depicted to have gray-blueish eyes which is the reason for his name. Charon only takes souls that have the fare to get on the boat, he is depicted as being old, unclean, unkept and greasy with a long descending beard.

Phoebus & Paean Apollon
When I think of Phoebus Apollon, I think of hope. The light at the end of the tunnel. If you press on, you will end up basking in the sunlight. Paean Apollon reminds us we all have health struggles. But we can heal from them or manage them. That it is important for our happiness and well being to take care of our health.
So ask yourself today; what have I been putting off? What can I do better? When was the last time I saw my doctor? Do I need to eat healthier or exercise more? It doesn’t have to be all at once. But consider a small change that you can build on. So that many years down the line, you will be in better shape. Do the maintenance now so that you won’t have larger issues to deal with later down the road.

Really good. Though I would put Haides and Hel under coins/pentacles instead as they are khthonic/underworld deities. That and Haides/Pluton is a god of wealth/riches. I would however put Hermes/Mercury under swords.
Though...that is more based on the element of air and it’s associations. I know some people reverse wands and swords elements. When I think of wands, I think of magic. When I think of magic, I think of Hermes. So in the case wands is air, that doubly makes sense.
Same with Ares/Mars like okay...wands because fire. He does have a firey personality, fire can be destructive. I get that. But swords makes more sense than wands. So if swords is fire, it works best, in my opinion.
I also like Aphrodite under cups/water not just because emotions=love hence, love goddess. But because she is actually a sea goddess and I feel like a lot of people forget that. But she is also a war goddess so...swords/fire could work too. Also, fire for the passion of love, not just war=destruction.
I’d also put Freyja under pentacles/coins ‘cause Vanir and fertility. Though swords ‘cause war goddess also works. Wands ‘cause seidr/volva too. Also, fire because the passion of love/sex.

Not only is he often portrayed with short hair but almost exclusively as blonde. I see him as a long haired ginger. Same with Artemis. But I also recognize Gods, Spirits and even our astral form can change. So I don’t necessarily think other depictions are wrong either. At the point they can morph into boars, fish, and whatnot, no reason they can’t go from bearded to unbearded, long to short hair, and so forth.
“He was depicted as a handsome, beardless youth with long hair“ https://www.theoi.com/Olympios/Apollon.html
Philostratus the Elder, Imagines 2. 19 (trans. Fairbanks) (Greek rhetorician C3rd A.D.) : "As for the aspect of the god [Apollon], he is represented as unshorn, my boy, and with his hair fastened up so that he may box with girt-up head; rays of light rise from about his brow and his cheek emits a smile mingled with wrath; keen is the glance of his eyes as it follows his uplifted hands."
Philostratus the Younger, Imagines 14 (trans. Fairbanks) (Greek rhetorician C3rd A.D.) : "[From a description of an ancient Greek painting:] Here is the god [Apollon], painted as usual with unshorn locks; he lifts a radiant forehead above eyes that shine like rays of light."
Why do people draw Apollo with short hair? Like??? Apollo? Who was well known for his long hair?? Whose uncut hair was mentioned like a thousand times in mythology?? Y'all giving him short hair even though long hair was legit one of his attributes???? Why!! Give this boy his long hair is that rly that hard??
