Late rituals, quick rituals, just-do-it rituals

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my time of being a sick, over-worked, over-stressed polytheist trying to make it all work … It’s that just. Doing. Something … will make you feel better.

Missed that New Moon, festival date, solstice, saint’s day when you were planning a nice ritual? Do it late when you are well or have time.

Health, work, or life got in the way? Do it when you have time. If you don’t have time or the physical or mental capacity for a big ol ritual – do a quickie. Or just sit for 5 minutes and think about your Gods or spirits.

Fuck trying to be perfect. Fuck guilt. We are all just humans struggling in a difficult world. Don’t let the fear of being late or imperfect or “not enough” hold you back.

Do something small & quick, whatever it is *you* in *your* situation can do.

I promise you it will feel better than nothing at all.

Could people maybe not talk shit about the gods in the main tags??? Like lighthearted jokey posts are fine, but straight up calling certain gods “pieces of shit” just because you don’t personally like them is fucked up. Have a little respect, both for the gods and for the people who worship them
