Many Pagans seek a direct connection with the Gods, a moment of profound understanding and recognition. Luke Babb’s recent account on The Wild Hunt offers a glimpse into such an experience, detailing their powerful encounter with Apollo, the radiant god of sun, music, and prophecy. Babb describes being brought to their knees by the sheer force of Apollo’s presence, a feeling of awe and overwhelming power that left a lasting impression.

Babb’s words resonate with many who follow a Hellenic path, or those simply drawn to the warmth and light of Apollo. The description of the god’s ‘flexing’ – a modern term for displaying power – speaks to the enduring relevance and vitality of the ancient deities. It reminds us that the Gods are not distant figures in dusty books, but active forces that can still touch our lives in profound ways.

This encounter highlights the importance of personal gnosis in Pagan practice. Whether through ritual, meditation, or spontaneous connection, the Gods are waiting to be encountered. Babb’s experience serves as a reminder to open ourselves to the divine, to be receptive to the subtle signs and powerful presences that surround us. May we all find our own apricity, the warmth of the sun in winter, and the love of the Gods in our lives.
