i saw someone talking about mundane devotion (i forgot their tumblr, sorry) but it's so true. devotional acts don't have to be something huge, and neither do offerings.
something i like to do for a devotion for hades is using a mint toothpaste, or washing my hair with a mint shampoo & conditioner. devotion doesn't need to look like doing a huge ritual, it can look like anything you do that reminds you of them! if you do something in their honor, that's what truly counts. this is especially good to remember if you're still in the broom closet but want to still worship or work with a deity.

Dear Lord, help me to not be afraid. Make me strong against worry and fear and bring peace. Lord, I don't want to be a worrier, I want to be a warrior for you. Thank you for fighting for me when I struggle to do it myself. I pray this all in Jesus' powerful name. Amen!

This is a post for disabled people. For mentally ill people. For low energy people.
This is a post for people who work three jobs and look after their kids.
This is a post for people who are TIRED. sick. Struggling.
The Gods will not abandon you.
Even if you don’t worship every day, the Gods will not abandon you.
Even if you can’t pray regularly, the Gods will not abandon you.
Even if you can’t put together offerings, the Gods will not abandon you.
Even if you stumble,
The Gods will not abandon you.
They will not punish you for the crime of being human. They know you are not divine. They know you are imperfect. They do not expect greatness and perfection, they just expect respect and humility.
Stay humble. Stay consistent. Show your reverence in whatever way you can. Keep them in your thoughts before you go to sleep at night.
The Gods know you.
DISCLAIMER: this is my personal interpretation. Obviously beliefs differ and the ancients would have thought very differently. This has just been my experience.

Jesus needed accommodations too
Again, Jesus began to teach beside the lake. Such a massive crowd gathered that he climbed into a boat there on the lake. He sat in the boat while the whole crowd was nearby on the shore. - Mark 4:1
Tumblr media
The Gospels — particularly Mark — frequently show Jesus to be sensitive to touch.
As an Autistic person for whom physical contact can be quite literally painful, I am encouraged by how, when crowds press in — teeming with reaching hands, loud with pleas for healing — Jesus doesn’t give in to the pressure to sacrifice his own needs for theirs; he finds ways to honor both.
At extreme moments, that looks like leaving the crowd behind entirely (e.g. Matthew 14:13). More often, Jesus prioritizes the people’s needs all day, then tends to himself in night’s stillness (e.g. Mark 1:35).
Other times, like here, he finds creative ways to serve the crowds and himself at the same time!
With the boat as an accommodation, the shoreline as a boundary, Jesus can teach all day without being exhausted — and even has energy left over for deeper conversation with his closest friends.
How can the knowledge that, in Jesus, God experienced the need for boundaries and accommodations empower you to honor your own unique needs? What creative solutions can you think up to balance your needs and communal ones?

Father Satan loves all his children. Do not let the lies and misconceptions of others get to you, because the truth is that Satan has been with you since the beginning. He has always guided and protected us, and he knows who loves him back willingly and who does not. No threats of eternal suffering are made if you do not love him back, but to threaten the lives of his kin is surely a death sentence to whomever is stupid enough to do such.
Respect Lord Satan and love him in the highest decree and devoted your all to him, and when it is time, he will carry you through the flames, on towards Demonhood, exalting you in His Infinite Power

The Christian shoemaker does his duty not by putting little crosses on the shoes, but by making good shoes, because God is interested in good craftsmanship.

something ends, something begins.
reflection, rambling, and ritual for the winter solstice - and beyond. part one: longest night.
Tumblr media
when winter looms heavy over us, the bears prepare to den. they've eaten well, they've not refused themselves anything, and thus they are ready to sleep: even though they don't hibernate fully, this sleep in their safe and secluded den is a passage nearly like death, a powerful mirror to the nature lulled to sleep by the cold. as they await the sweet coming of spring to awaken, you have the time to understand what that bear within you is - and lull it to sleep as well, so that you might focus on hope and renewal instead.
the bear is your wild force, the more primal part of your heart - it is your bitter survival, pain, it is your impulse, it is your anger, your fierce independence, dominance and hunger and rage. the heart that's fighting, grieving, persevering.
but it is so tired.
whatever the darkness and pain stirred within you - it is time for it to den. to rest. let it sleep and it will awaken in spring, in time for the grand celebrations of sacred equinox, reborn and ready to conquer in confidence. with kindness and patience, during the longest night, let the bear of your heart find its den and sleep.
take a ritual bath or shower: use something bitter and herbal to wash yourself, rinse your head with a solution of vinegar, let your body feel the cold of the water - if you can commit to it in a safe way, do it in the dark. don't dry yourself - let the air dry you as you stand there, bare, ready to embrace the darkness right before you partake in the triumph of the light. sing a lullaby: after you dress, still in the darkness or with a single candle lit, take all your bitterness, all your pain and anger, all your regret and failure and grief - and sing it a lullaby in its bed, and cover it until spring comes. and then, put the candle out. the lullaby is literal: choose one you like, one you feel moved by, perhaps it's one you loved as a child, or perhaps it's one you were afraid of or saddened by too much to like it. use the melody and the words, or add your own words to a melody that moves you. make it yours and meaningful. the bed is less literal: it means a significant, intimate space. it can be your actual bed, or it can be a crossroads, or a graveyard, or any other space that for you can be a symbol of passage, of sleep, of change. maybe the forest, maybe your old playground, maybe a place of memories. choose it wisely. cover it: prepare a piece of cloth that you will use to cover all these difficult feelings with. as you sing a lullaby to this harsh part of your heart, let it symbolically lie in this piece of cloth - then carefully fold it, as many times as you find meaning in. for some it is twice, or thrice, or four times - or as many times as physically possible for the material itself. find a den, and let it rest: hide it somewhere safe, to be recovered and unfolded only in spring, and not a second sooner! if you have an object that in your heart and mind represents this tumultuous period you want to put to rest, put it into the cloth as well. hide it. keep it safe.
in the spring, you will let it awaken: and remember, a bear is a sign of power, immense luck, and perseverance. it is a sign of good fortune - trust in your heart that good fortune awaits you, and with spring will come a full rebirth. a benevolent restart of the cycle that you are, inherently and intimately, an eternal part of.
don't close a chapter by slamming it shut or burning a bridge: put it to bed. lovingly - but stubbornly - command it to sleep.

Atypical Deity Work Ideas
Tired of the same few examples of deity work? Here's a fresh list for you to take a peek at!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Make a devotional playlist. This could be songs that remind you of them specifically, songs you think they'd like, or songs that are reminiscent of the culture/time they come from.
Learn a skill or topic related to them. God of harvest? Browse the Farmer's Almanac! God of sleep? Learn about the different stages of sleep. God of light? Learn about light waves. God of darkness? Learn how to do shadow puppets.
Create a digital space for them. This can mean making a digital altar, creating a room themed after them in Animal Crossing, making a Google doc about them, creating a Notion page, or devoting a blog to them.
Make a collage! It could be a digital or physical collage, but slap some elements together that remind you of the deity or just make a collage that you think they'd enjoy aesthetically. Folks also call this a moodboard!
Create a list of items you personally associate with them. Then write why you associate these items with them. EX: I associate dandelions with Lugh because for a while I thought Lugh was Loki and dandelions tend to be associated with Loki lol.
Read a book you think they'd enjoy. It could be one you think they'd like based on their mythology or purely based on your intuition.
Invite them to watch a movie with you. Movie night, anyone? For real, though, get some popcorn or other movie snacks and drinks ready and let them know that they're more than welcome to watch the movie with you!
Make a language for them. This works best for written language, and requires a lot of time, patience, and energy, but wouldn't you be stoked if someone made a whole conlang for you?! You can even go the extra mile and write to them in that language. There are ways to turn these into fonts as well.
That's all I have for now, let me know what you think!
Tumblr media
Enjoy my work? Support me for as little as $1 on my ko-fi!
