Intent

You can now make a more collective religion, but saying there was always one, is a mistake at best and pseudo history at worst.

(And if someone drags Horus into this, Massey was full of crap and I will fight you.)

Just a ritual I started after finishing my evening meal, which makes me feel so settled and truly satisfied: As I am washing each plate, cup, piece of cutlery, I say, "Bless those who grow and transport my food. Bring fertility to the soil from which it came." I use a famous, British washing up liquid (dish soap) which is a strong green colour to represent fertility, and as I rinse the soap off and watch the water swirl down the drain, I visualise the blessing flowing out with the water into the world to reach the farmers. Finally, I shake my hands to dry 12 times - once for each of the twelve months of the year. As the drops of water fly off my hands, I imagine the perfect amount of rain falling for each of the twelve months. Actually makes washing the dishes meditative, restorative and magic! Let me know if you try this.
