More than Oneself
“‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:18 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for…

You do not need a sign.
For the love of the gods, just pray. You do not need to be called. You do not need to be contacted. Just pray.

The gods are going to love you even if you cant do much. The gods are going to love you even if you can do nothing. The gods are going to love you even if your sick and cant get up. The gods are going to love you even if youre struggling and getting food is more important than getting offerings. Your devotion is what matters. If you love the gods they will love you

super loose sketch but. I have so many writing ideas about dsmp characters and religion from c!wilbur’s perspective. (I hc him as an athiest or agnostic who’s closest peers are people of faith and he tries so hard to understand but cannot connect with religion, fears he can’t understand this piece of them, like an outsider to faith and that peace in their features when they talk about it. c!tommy with lady prime, c!quackity with something akin to Catholicism that he can’t remember the origins of, c!techno a pagan/pantheist acting with several deities, c!phil a pagan). inspired by this and this and @ghosts-and-blue-sweaters . Something something mirroring the behaviors of his closest friend that bring him comfort to see if anything will work at this point. Taking it seriously at first and then getting embarrassed with himself when he doesn’t hear a voice back. Getting frustrated and pretending to himself that he never tried and it was silly. going to limbo. idk.

“But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.”

“We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” (Romans 8:26)
Have you ever felt you haven't prayed enough or felt dissatisfied? We struggle to focus, we are distracted, we wrestle with wandering minds and we feel frustrated. This doesn't mean you are failing in some way, it only indicates that there's desire for more. More time spent in His presence, more of Jesus in your life, more of a deeper fellowship with His Spirit. Instead of getting discouraged and giving up, ask the Holy Spirit to help you and guide you into a deeper relationship with God. Then your prayer life will be more fulfilling and even exciting.

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.

on pagan prayer
I know that a lot of people struggle with praying. and for lots of people, prayer needs to be formal, structured, and serious. but that's not the only way to pray. especially if you find it hard to follow that kind of structure (for any reason)!
I pray about anything at any time. at the drop of a hat, I'll pray. and while I do have some formal prayers I have memorized, most of it is just ~because~.
I pray to Asklepios when I have a tummy ache or the hiccups.
I pray to Hermes for good parking spots or quick traffic, or when I can't think of the word I want to use.
I pray to Ares for courage when I'm having anxiety about saying something
I pray to Hestia for a new recipe to turn out well
I pray to Hygieia for the energy to clean when I really don't feel like doing the dishes or sweeping the floor
don't be afraid to pray for ANYTHING! if you are a pagan who wants to pray but struggles, try incorporating informal prayers for small things into your life. it's okay to ask the gods for help with anything you want help with. and it's okay if you don't always have a 6 stanza prayer at the ready. just pray.

True Love is Sacrificial.
True Love is Sacrificial.
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2 Greater love…

Gentle reminder as we go into 2024 to please practice fire safety when giving offerings. If you have live candles and incense on your altar, never leave them unattended, and always keep a bowl of water nearby for safely extinguishing any lit matches, incense sticks, or other flammable items. You can even get fancy and have a dedicated water bowl if you must, but be safe. Fire is pretty, but dangerous.

Apollo and Diana by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo
"Muse, sing of Artemis, sister of the far-shooter, Parthenos the virgin who delights in arrows, who was fostered with Apollon.
She waters her horses from Meles deep in reeds, and swifty drives her all-golden chariot through Smyrna to vine-clad Klaros where Apollon god of the silver bow, sits waiting for far-shooting delighter in arrows.
And so hail to you, Artemis, in my song and to all goddesses as well."
- Homeric Hymn 9 to Artemis (trans. Evelyn-White)

Sharp-minded Hermes,
Guide me through the
Mist of distraction to find
Most lovely luck and peace of mind
